Some more simple statistics:
Keith had:
3 ES goals (84th in the league amongst defencemen)
36 hits (201st in the league amongst defencemen)
89 blocked shots (118th amongst defencemen)
35 secondary assists (1st amongst defencemen)

Some MORE simple statistics:
Percentage of Points 5 on 5:
Keith - 0.57
Weber - 0.45
Chara - 0.50
Percentage of Goals 5 on 5:
Keith - 0.50
Weber - 0.35
Chara - 0.41
First Assists per game 5 on 5:
Keith - 0.509 (2nd in the league)
Weber - 0.229 (51st in the league)
Chara - 0.347 (24th in the league)
Even Strength IPP (percentage of team goals player involved in):
Keith - 45.5
Weber - 37.9
Chara - 36.4
Do you like "advanced stats"?
Fenwick ES:
Keith - 188
Weber - 191
Chara - 166
Corsi ES:
Keith - 281
Weber - 254
Chara - 255
And finally, while Keith's Hits are low and his Blocked Shots are average, it's likely because his partner fills that role more readily than he does. Generally top defensive pairs work together to balance coverage. One player being more aggressive with the body, and the other more talented with the puck. Let's take a look at the common pairings (though Hamilton was only really paired with Chara after Seidenberg got injured, so those numbers might be less legit):
Hits:
Keith/Seabrook - 207
Weber/Josi - 201
Chara/Hamilton - 236
Blocked Shots:
Keith/Seabrook - 239
Weber/Josi - 323
Chara/Hamilton - 157
So as you can see, Keith was a better player offensively than either of the other two nominees, didn't have to rely on special teams to accomplish his numbers as much as the other two, and is most certainly in the same ballpark as both of them defensively.
Blah blah blah the point is you haven't got much of a clue broheim. You're as out to lunch on this as you are on most things. I didn't even need to "look at the username!" to figure that out, but go ahead and ignore any relevant information and play the victim card because everyone is ganging up on you and singling you out and not letting you have an opinion... or whatever it is this week.
