Local hockey fans should enjoy Duncan Keith’s all-star status while it lasts because a selection like that may not come again for a while.
That’s not to condemn Keith for having yet another solid season on the Chicago Blackhawks’ blueline.
And it’s certainly not to say the 24-year-old assistant captain doesn’t deserve the honour, although there are many in the hockey world that would say he is the least deserving of all the 2008 all-stars.
