I had checked that link...and it took me to the TSN page...videos at work are blocked so I did not see the clip...

Ok, though, I saw the clip now...

Careless? definitely. Dirty? yes, probably. Was it an initial attack or retaliation? I did not see that game, so I couldn't place a context on the hit.

I CAN place context on the Carter and Sedin plays...and both were retaliation for prior incidents. And I don't deny that Keith can be provoked into stupid stickwork...I don't believe that he would be alone, among players in the NHL in "Getting even".

If you feel that that makes Keith a "dirty player" that is your perogative, I disagree that his overall play is "dirty", but I will grant careless and undisiplined when provoked. And that kind of stickwork retaliation is not unique to Keith.
