Keown was a lot of fun to watch at this event, and if I had to crown a defensive MVP, he would be it. He has nice awareness and is quick to break down when playing on the ball, leading with his stick when closing the gap, and getting physical when he needed. His poke check was accurate and controlled, as well as his lift check, making life hard for whoever was being defended. Keown is steady and fundamental and can carry the ball under pressure.
