Friday, August 2, 2013 Penticton Western News

Keith reflects on Cup win

Winning the Stanley Cup is un-

believable, said Duncan Keith.

It’s the same as when he won it

the first time in 2010 against the

Philadelphia Flyers.

Keith and the Chicago Black-

hawks defeated the Boston Bruins

in six games to clinch the 2013

Stanley Cup.What wasn’t similar is how the

two Game 6s on the road played

out.“Definitely in the first one a

sense of whether the puck went

in or not,” he recalled of Patrick

Kane’s heroics, which not many

knew beat Philadelphia Flyers

goalie Michael Leighton. “This

time, it was such a crazy ending

that I think really made it special.

Being able to celebrate properly

right off the bat.”Keith, who is back in Penticton

for the off-season, said crazy is

the only way to explain what hap-

pened in the Stanley Cup-clinch-

ing game against the Bruins.

“There’s so many highs and

lows in playoff hockey,” said

Keith, who played with the Pent-

icton Panthers for two seasons.

“We went through so many highs

throughout the playoffs. Game

6 was just typical of the way the

whole playoffs went. We were

down the whole game. We could

have been down more in the first

period if it wasn’t for our goalie

(Corey Crawford).”

The Hawks defenceman said

they regrouped after the first pe-

riod with a pep talk, since they

were only down a goal. They

knew there was lots of hockey to

be played. The Hawks tied it up,

then the Bruins made it 2-1 late in

the third.“Your mind is kind of racing,

wondering whether you are going

to go back to Game 7, but you still

got time left,” he said. “It can still

be done.”Then the Hawks make it 2-2

on a goal from Bryan Bickell at

18:44 and Keith said the Hawks

now thought about overtime.

“I was on the bench then all of

a sudden, we scored 17 seconds

later. I couldn’t believe it,” said

the 2010 Canadian Olympic gold

medalist for Canada and Norris

Trophy winner. “We thought we

won the Cup right there. There

was still a minute to play. We had

to keep it together.”

Boston, said Keith, were their

toughest opponents in the play-

offs. The Bruins sacrificed their

bodies blocking shots and played

a style the Hawks had yet to see.

Keith said the Hawks had their

chances, and then they just disap-

peared.“Whether it was a stick that

would get in the way, or a guy

wdiving in front of it, just frustrat-

ing in that regard,” he recalled. “I

think we did a good job sticking

with it. I think it just showed how

close those two teams were go-

ing to overtime and the length of

overtimes both games went.”

Having his son Colton in the

Stanley Cup highlighted celebrat-

ing the victory. “I’m sure he’ll look at that

picture maybe later on in life and

appreciate it a little more,” said

Keith.As for having his day with

the Cup, that will be Aug. 31

and Keith intends to start making

plans to share the beautiful trophy

with Penticton.With it being three years since

his first championship win, Keith

was asked if going through play-

off disappointments makes him

appreciate the two championship

wins more.“Absolutely,” said Keith, who

was born in Winnipeg, but also

lived in Fort Frances, Ont., before

moving to Penticton. “Anybody

that’s ever won one, even the guys

that go to the final and end up los-

ing it, you realize how long of a

grind it is. How good you have to

be to win the Cup. I’m just happy

I’m part of an organization and a

team that will do everything it can

to try and win every year.”

Keith had a feeling the Hawks

had a good team because of the

skill the players possessed.

Losing to the Phoenix Coyotes

the year before was tough. He felt

they played hard, but couldn’t

solve goalie Mike Smith. The

playoff losses lingered in the play-

ers’ minds, yet they knew expecta-

tions this season were high. Keith

said everyone arrived at training

camp following the lockout in

great shape.“I saw how fast the team was

the first few practices,” said

Keith, who has 59 goals and 309

points in 607 NHL regular sea-

son games, to go with eight goals

and 43 points in 74 playoff tilts.

“How high the tempo was. Sure

enough we had such a good start

(24 games without a loss to set a

new NHL record) that eventually

I kind of thought we had a really

good team. It was just a matter

of putting it together in playoffs.

Playoffs as everybody knows is a

different animal.”With the core the Hawks pos-

sess that includes captain Jonathan

Toews, Kane and Patrick Sharp,

Keith feels they should contend

for the Stanley Cup every year.

“There are a lot of good teams

in the league,” said Keith, listed at

six-foot-one and 200 pounds. “You

have to have some luck. Have some

things go your way. I think we have

a good chance at winning more Stan-

ley Cups.”Before Keith has his day with the

Stanley Cup, he will be attending

Hockey Canada’s Olympic orienta-

tion camp Aug. 25 to 28 in Calgary.

“I feel like it’s a privilege just to

be invited to this camp,” said Keith.

“I’m going to prepare as best I can

to have a good start to the season

and show them I deserve to be on

that team.”

I was on the bench

then all of a sudden,

we scored 17 seconds

later. I couldn’t believe

it. We thought we won

the Cup right there.

There was still a
