Kevin Bieksa mocks the Bruins on Sportsnet set

NHL.com

Former Vancouver Canucks defenseman and current Sportsnet analyst Kevin Bieksa is on the panel to follow the postseason action. While the broadcast team covered Game 3 of the first round series between the Florida Panthers and Boston Bruins, Bieksa couldn’t help but take a shot at the projected Stanley Cup winners.

Bieksa and the 2011 Canucks were beaten by the Bruins in a seven-game series of the Stanley Cup final.

The wound may still be too fresh for Bieksa, who posed in front of an image of Bruins’ Brad Marchand and the Stanley and posted the image in his Instagram stories with the caption «so much wrong in this picture.»

The post was made a couple of hours before Game 3 puck drop as Bieksa stared into his camera wearing a hoodie.


Bieksa remains as entertaining on the Sportsnet’s panel as he was on the ice throughout his career. He played his last NHL game with the Anaheim Ducks in the 2017–18 season. The 2001 fifth-round pick played a total of 808 NHL games with the Canucks and Ducks starting in 2005–06, scoring 63 goals and 278 points; he also logged 86 playoff games with the two teams.

Subban calls out Messier and Chelios for ‘gloating.’

Since hanging up his skates as far as his playing career in the National Hockey League is concerned, P.K. Subban has made a quick and natural transition to a broadcaster for the NHL on ESPN.

Subban always showcased his personality during his time in the NHL and that trend has continued during his broadcast career, and not just when the show is on the air. On Saturday, Subban posted a short video on social media in which he called out fellow former players Chris Chelios and Mark Messier for ‘gloating’ with the Stanley Cup in studio.

“Big party for these guys huh?” said Subban via his Twitter. “Gloating over here, drinking out of the Cup, it’s crazy.”

While the words used by Subban here might suggest that he was genuinely irritated, the tone of his video and his comments left little doubt that he was anything but that. If anything, Subban appeared to be putting over the accomplishments of his legendary co-hosts, while poking a little fun at himself in self-deprecating fashion for never winning a Stanley Cup of his own.

If anything, the video might leave you feeling a little sorry for poor P.K. Subban who probably feels like something of a third wheel right now with the Stanley Cup in studio.
