I'd rather them lock it down defensively. Would rather not chase due to risk of taking dumb penalties
And yet Seabrook was playing 25 minutes/night (39 minutes in game 1) in the Stanley Cup Finals en route to a Stanley Cup ...

And Seabrook has literally played with Keith almost all year this year ... In a year where Keith is a Norris candidate.

Average ES TOI/G partners:
Keith - 19:22/game
Leddy - 0:46/game
Oduya - 0:37/game

You're telling me Keith plays his best hockey in the 2 shifts/game when he ISN'T playing with Seabrook? I find that difficult to believe ...
