Keenan is brought up because the argument of "he won a Cup" is only relevant for a coach if it's recent. Hartley won one 12 years before he came here, with two of the best Centers to ever play, a Hall of Fame Dman and likely the best goalie ever. Keenan won one 13 years before he came here. Both guys had stretches where they were completely out of the league.
The game has changed.
