    Keith should be in the Hockey Hall of Fame for, if nothing else, essentially cloning himself twice over.

    Keith should be the Hall of Fame 🙌🏻
    -500+ goals
    -Two 50-goal seasons
    -First U.S.-born player to lead the league in goals
    -Consistent
    -Gold at 1996 World Cup of Hockey
    -Silver at 2002 Winter Olympics
    -IMO one of the Top 10 U.S.-born hockey players of all time

    I remember as a kid getting a PlayStation for Christmas, and the first game I got for it was NHL Breakaway 98 with Keith Tkachuk on the cover. Fun game.

    Keith Tkachuk has a big presence in St. Louis. Robert Thomas even lived with him during his rookie year.

      Should St. Louis retire his *#7?* It's retired in Arizona

    Favorite all time Yote, got a custom jersey last szn of tkachuk

    One of my first jerseys was a Tkachuk ‘Yotes jersey I got while visiting Phoenix back in 1997. One of my favorite players from that era.

  • @ScarecrOmega
    @ScarecrOmega Před rokem +19

    He was here in Winnipeg a short time but he had a huge impact and was a fan favorite. One of best Power forwards of all time right up there with Neely and Shanahan.

  • @gocanuckurself1

    Man, I loved Keith Tkachuk. Excited to see this video pop up.

  • @Foop333
    @Foop333 Před rokem +1

    I had Coyotes season tickets the whole time Keith Tkachuk played in Phoenix and it was a lot of fun to watch him play.He was very strong on his skates and was a handful around the crease where he scored most of his goals.He was also quite the hothead which added to the fun.I wish he could have stuck around a bit longer.

  • @drivethru6155
    @drivethru6155 Před rokem +3

    A man blessed with strength and spirit, I hope his sons can influence others with the physical gifts and talents to have the personality of these guys. True power forwards are my fav player type, next to the Shea Weber types on the blue line.

    Loved him as well when he was with the coyotes

  • @GRChrzak
    @GRChrzak Před rokem +6

    In his prime, he was one of the most sought after players in fantasy. If you couldn't get Jagr, Bure, Hasek, or Kariya, you wanted Tkachuk because he'd score you a ton, get you some power play goals, and he'd be among the leaders in PIMs. Loved him.

  • @jahmanoog461
    @jahmanoog461 Před rokem +1

    His consistent performance and being made captain that early in his career says a lot. That trade was a red flag, playoff teams would field all stars, most acquired at the trade deadline.

    @stlfatman Před rokem

    Keith Tkachuk is my favourite player of all time. I wouldn't be the Blues fan I am if not for him. His retirement made me just as emotional (if not more so) as the Blues winning the Cup.

    Keith Tkachuk was a monster. I loved everything about his game. Badly wanted him on the Rangers but alas it was not meant to be.

  • @ScarecrOmega
    @ScarecrOmega Před rokem +2

    If Detroit drafted him at #3 instead of Primeau he would won several Stanley Cups with them, and they wouldn't have needed to trade for Shanahan, which they did for Primeau and Coffey.

    I really liked Keith as a kid. Now that I'm older and hear his sons play a similar style, I realize my tastes have slightly changed 😂
    Due to my age, he will always be a Blue to me.

    • @klompsauce

      Most players do. They don't usually work out and many of them don't skate anymore either.

  • @tamarockstar45
    @tamarockstar45 Před rokem

    Forgot to mention he went his entire career, playing hard-nosed hockey, without losing a single tooth. Then on his final season he blocked a slap shot from the point with his mouth, losing a ton of teeth. It still kind of bums me out that he went his entire career without getting a tooth knocked out to losing a mouthful his last season.
