Keenan was a strange dude, and certainly seemed to enjoy playing the role of the bad guy. He almost wanted to be disliked. And I don’t defend him except for this: Thursday I had more than a few people express their disgust with Keenan, saying how he’d ruined the Blues franchise. I’m sorry, Keenan did a lot of crazy things, and had a maddening style. But he didn’t ruin the franchise. Keenan was fired in ’97. Over the next six seasons the Blues had the NHL’s fifth-best winning percentage (.609), won the President’s Trophy (league’s best record) in 1999-2000, and had two consecutive seasons off 100+ plus points (1999-00, 2000-01).
So how did Keenan ruin the franchise?
Thank you, Bernie. This is one of the longest-running NHL fallacies. People may have had differences of opinion with how to move forward with the franchise, but one can’t say he ruined it. In fact, considering how many teams have won with Chris Pronger, it is only reasonable to suggest that he improved the franchise.
