ben_usmc 253 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 I don't know, Quincey has been pretty good this year and D seems like he's in a bit of a sophmore slump. 1 KATIEBARTHEDOOR24 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take that back immediately! You must praise DeKeyser without ceasing. And you must, under no circumstances, praise Quincey. 1 F.Michael reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The defense as a unit has been surprisingly reliable this season. Kronners I think has declined but still gets the job done, Quincey has indeed bounced back, as horrible as that tastes coming out of my mouth. XO I hope stays up for good. Smith and Biggie have their blunders but their respective roles are filled well, IMO. Danny is need of polishing but the future is bright with him, XO, and Marchenko. 1 Gordie Howe hat trick reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted February 15, 2015 I'm pretty sure Richdg is the only one that seen the defensive prowess in DeKeyser's game... or at the very least, he was the first to tune into his ability... Everyone else, join the bandwagon... 2 FireCaptain and jimmyemeryhunter reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Echolalia 2,961 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 well, this came out today http://www.mlive.com/redwings/index.ssf/2015/02/mike_bdanny_dekeysers_elite_mi.html#incart_river That's some solid praise. Dekeyser actually reminds me quite a bit of Lidstrom in that he plays the game with his brain above all else. He's not overly physical, he doesn't have that booming shot, he's not particularly flashy in any aspect of his game. But when he's on the ice, the puck doesn't go in the back of the net. Dekeyser is so solid at shutting down plays, particularly for it only being his second year. I (like most of us) have high hopes for his future. He could definitely become a piece to build around if he continues to grow at the rate he's been going at. 1 Hockeymom1960 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mvanpop 98 Report post Posted February 17, 2015 I personally have not joined richdg's bandwagon and think Quincey is bolstering DK. He'll be out of the NHL in a year so we should trade him now with the hype. 2 number9 and PavelValerievichDatsyuk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
