DeKeyser’s Game Hasn’t Come Back
The hopes that DeKeyser would be rebounding physically to his old form are long since dashed. Even Blashill has to admit that it hasn’t been the case.“Danny before the back surgery had a certain strength and skating power that he might never have at the same level again,” Blashill said. “That’s just the reality of having a major injury. Is he to that same strength, power in his skating, same fluidity? Probably not. So he doesn’t have quite the same level of strength.
