Some Famous People called Larry Keenan
Larry Keenan
Christopher Lawrence Keenan (born October 1, 1940) is a Canadian former professional ice hockey left wing. He played in the National Hockey League with the Toronto Maple Leafs, St. Louis Blues, Buffalo Sabres, and Philadelphia Flyers.
In his NHL career, Keenan appeared in 234 games. He scored 38 goals and added 64 assists. He is 12th in Blues all-time playoff scoring with 15 goals in 46 playoff games. He was called up for a pair of games with the Toronto Maple Leafs in 1961-62 before spending six years in the AHL and WHL. When the league expansion in 1967 made journeymen a desirable commodity, Keenan found himself back in the NHL with the St. Louis Blues. He formed a hard-working forward line with Terry Crisp and Jim Roberts.
Keenan scored the first-ever goal in St. Louis Blues history on October 11, 1967 against Minnesota North Stars' goalie Cesare Maniago. He was also on the ice for Bobby Orr's famous 1970 Stanley Cup Finals clinching goal—a scoring play that began when Orr pinched at the blue line and blocked Keenan's attempt to clear the zone with a pass to Red Berenson. Keenan describes the play, saying the goal wasn't great. It was a great photo of a goal.
Keenan was traded to the Buffalo Sabres on Nov. 4, 1970 along with Jean-Guy Talbot for Bobby Baun.
His career ended prematurely due to injuries.
