It was impossible not to notice the little guy with a crew cut wearing No. 14 in blue and white. He seemed to be everywhere, doing everything a hockey player needs to do and doing it very well.
At 5-foot-9, 165 pounds, Dave Keon was usually faster than anyone else on the ice. He'd blow past defensemen like the north winds he braved growing up in Noranda, Quebec. He'd win faceoffs as if he were the only player in the circle, lay a perfect pass right on the blade of a breaking teammate and maneuver around the opponent's net with unpredictability. He would be the first man in on the forecheck, giving the puck carrier few options, and he'd kill penalties with the best of them, presenting a real threat to score while his team was shorthanded.
