Not likely.
Now if you took a cheap shot at Keith...like this guy...
And you thought you got away with it...then, I would expect retaliation.
I don't condone it, but, like the slashes from Carter, Keith seems to get provoked to retaliate....many players take the "eye for an eye" approach
If all retaliation is dirty...then the bulk of players in the NHL have been dirty now and then.

Umm... okay. I don't want to get into an argument over semantics. So are you saying Keith's penchant for retaliating cheap elbows to the head and sticks to the face doesn't make him a dirty player? Would you say he's a stupid player then? A nasty player? Sound better to you?
Dreger showed a video clip of Keith high sticking Sobotka "Repeat Offender". About a 1:10 into the video. What do you think?

And what do you think of Chris Simon's two-handed slash to the face? Let me guess, not dirty because it was retaliation?
