Kevin Bieksa on his outlook for the Canucks, the playoffs so far and more
Former NHLer and Hockey Night in Canada Analyst Kevin Bieksa joined the guys to talk about the Canucks season, the outlook for next season and his thoughts on the playoffs so far.
There is no doubt Bieksa is good at what he does but his instant success had more to do with the fact that he was surrounded by 3 Losers (hated)MaClean, (boring)Hrudey and (Stupid)Botterill. He has been a refreshing change and makes H.N.I.C. almost tolerable. Bobby's disappointed in me, we all are Ron.
The Officiating has been awful all year long. League wide ! It started in the preseason and has carried on throughout the season we're not seeing anything new. I have never heard of many of these officials and I think they are new and not very good. We may have been spoiled by having some very good refs and linesmen many of them retired recently. I saw the last couple of years had a real spate of offical retirements. It was hard to get through a week without some ref or other not getting acknowledged for his years of service. And this year we see the consequences of having inexperienced guys but yes there is something wrong with the officiating somehow.

Your Dad is a smart man Kevin. Big fan! Forever a Canuck.

Good for Kevin he has done well because it's hard to fly like an Eagle when you're surrounded by Turkeys.

still chuckle when bieksa in a post-game scrum responded to a question about ryan kesler's nickname … and he deadpan retorted, … "guzzler"…
Went out found and bought myself an old Bieska Jersey a couple weeks ago on FB market. Kevin is still my fav Canauck to this day
I love Bieksa so much! ❤❤
