[um]

Keith, but it was close.

 

[M2Beezy]

Doughty AIC

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

I homer voted but shamefully, I do think you could make a case for either guy.

 

[DropTheGloves]

Prefer to watch Doughty, but rather have Keith on my team. Pure, unfiltered, unerring efficiency at his best.

 

[Bluesguru]

Keith at his peak is just all around good. Edge Duncan

 

[Gurglesons]

Doughty.

 

[x Tame Impala]

Hawks fan here so I can’t vote for Doughty even if I wanted to. I will say though that if Doughty is second to Kieth it’s by a very slim margin.

 

[itsjustsurvival]

This is a close one.

 

[780il]

Very very close. But I’ll take Keith.

Yeah. This is pretty much how i'd look at it. It's just so hard to argue against the pure efficiency and effectiveness of what Keith did in his prime. Doughty at his peak, was more liable to pull you out of your seat in a lot of different ways, and maybe at his absolute peak, was a tad more dynamic in that sense. But Keith was just the engine that drove that Blackhawks dynasty from the back end for a long time, and made it look kinda easy most of the time.

It's really not that far off. I think you can accept a reasonable argument for either really.

I picked Doughty for his physical play. He was also a better PP player.

Keith is a less flashy player, but it's possible he was even more effective.

But still, Doughty. And I'm a Hawks fan.

 

[Fatass]

Doughty at his peak.

 

[amnesiac]

Doughty.... offense was hindered by Sutter

I disapprove of this. Doughty is hard not to respect. I voted for him even if it's super close.

Doughty’s Norris was a joke too. It was a lifetime achievement not an award for the best season by a dman.

I have nothing but respect for Doughty. He's one of the best dmen of his time

 

[Machinehead]

The way Keith put the Hawks on his back in 2015 tips the scales for me

 

[Kent Nilsson]

Golden era of canadian defense

This is just what someone says when they disagree with the way the voting went

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Doughty. Somewhere between not close and close, but not completely in either category.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Keith for me. But no doubt doughty was a stud

 

[Hisch13r]

Keith

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Wings fan going Keith.

'scuse me while I throw up.

 

[The Abusement Park]

Give me Keith here. I think Doughty on a game to game basis could peak higher than Keith, but I think Keith’s efficiency and consistency puts him over the edge for me.
