Blackhawks Daily: Oilers Running on Duncan?
The Edmonton Oilers turned to Duncan Keith for a little pregame speech Saturday. Down 3-0, why not turn to the defenseman who saw his fair share of comebacks and nearly pulled out an 0-3 comeback in 2011 against the Vancouver Canucks?
Knoblauch shares that Duncan Keith was around the Oilers dressing room yesterday.
Nothing formal. Says Keith was sharing his experience being down 3-0 in 2011 with some.
Chicago forced a Game 7.

It spurred something–along with some desperation–in the Oilers 8-1 shellacking of the Panthers Saturday night. Maybe the Oilers run on Duncan Keith and his words?
There’s no doubt Keith’s leadership was a major strength for the Blackhawks locker room during their Cup runs. Could it do the trick as a former player watching from the outside now? We’ll see Tuesday night.
A Happy Father’s Day to all of our readers and those who follow us here at Chicago Hockey Now.
