DDK RANT INCOMING:
I don’t know what happened to Danny DeKeyser but it feels like his back problems have affected his ability to do anything except for hold onto the opponent in front of his own net. The skills are still there, but they’re all so faded. It’s like he’s current-day Zdeno Chara but without the physical dominance and long stick. It sucks because I can still see those solid plays every once in a while that tell me he isn’t completely washed, but then he’ll follow them up with a dumb mistake or get totally beaten by a bottom-sixer in his own zone. I hate to say it, but I think he may be on his way out after this season. Not of his own accord, but just because I can’t see anybody offering him more than league minimum (if anything) unless it’s Yzerman showing his gratitude and keeping a long-time veteran voice in the locker room. He just doesn’t have it in him anymore, and it’s a tough way to go out.
Just saw two goals go in with him on the ice in this first period against the Blues, and I feel like it’s the nail in the coffin on my hopes that he’ll rebound. Not that those goals were necessarily his fault, but he’s such a pylon now he couldn’t do a single thing to stop them.
Sorry for dumping this here, just didn’t know where else to put it (and I’ve already hit my ACGM roster limit for today lol). If any other Wings fans see this, I’d like to know if you feel the same way.
