Very unfair and ignorant comment by Bieksa suggesting Mathieu Perreault is not a legit hard nose player because he has never had a fight in the regular season. He should know better. Perreault almost always plays a feisty, fearless game.
Bieksa on Twitter
@SpecmenceCBJ Bieksa is the He is not scared to give his own opinion regardless of how unpopular it is. Right or wrong, you gotta respect him for that! He makes me learn about the game every time he speaks!
@StGeorgeCross17 You’re right. Bieksa is the only one I actually listen to whenever I have it on. I had to rewind to see if I actually heard Amber right. Mind blowing
@ChrisRWiebe They’re straight up awful, Cassie Campbell is by far the worst of the Sportsnet workers. Bieksa is one of the very few sportsnet workers that I take seriously.
@dreistrash I’ve loved Bieksa as an analyst. Probably one of the best pickups the broadcast booth has made in years.

What a bizarre segment from Bieksa just calling Perreault a baby for not backing it up and fighting after his big boy hits lmao good lord we are completely out of ideas for things to talk about in this Habs-Jets series
@kenmargil Because someone at CBC said, ‘people seem to like Bieksa. Who is he friends with?’
@Darcymason Yeah honestly I’m being a little harsh. I don’t hate him, I just find his commentary not very engaging. But compared to Bieksa they all sound meh.
@DanyAllstar15 Where are you hearing Avery that you think he’s so good. I liked Burke and I like Bieksa. What are you expecting for intermission panel discussion?
@The_Dojoe Comparing Bieksa with Kessler clearly suggests you don’t know hockey, each player or their on air personality.
@KellyHrudey @CassieCampbell have no chance to match Bieksa in an actual discussion. They were embarrassing and outclassed that intermission
The Dubois clip for those asking. Bieksa is hilarious lol #CBJ
@NikLynam I like bieksa, except for the night of the 55 incident. They all treaded lightly. Cassie Campbell even decided to make things up.
As a Jackets and Canucks fan, I enjoyed Kevin Bieksa clowning on Pierre-Luc Dubois during the intermission more than I should have #CBJ
Bieksa owning Cassie Campbell and Kelly Hrudey on @hockeynight is the new norm. Kelly and Cassie are complete idiots #GoHabsGo #GoJetsGo
Bieksa. 100 percent on point, as usual. Dubois looked soft and unimpressive. What say you, #GoJetsGo fans?
Kevin Bieksa is the only reason to watch intermissions. They need to give him coach’s corner.
So I wonder how much it cost @Sportsnet to FedEx the orange ribbon to Bieksa in California or if he’s a crafty dude and made his own #hnic #GoJetsGo
Bieksa and Kesler on my screen…just need Perry to complete the trio that ruined my childhood
@BaseballJones44 Yep. That game and the game where Bieksa scored in OT off the stanchion to win the Western Conference were the highlights.
It’s playoffs so take everything #NHLJets Maurice says with a grain of salt but the way he described DeMelo’s injury suggests that it was not a high ankle sprain as speculated by Bieksa. Soft tissue injury could be a regular ankle sprain or even something groin related
@NHL_Campbell @mikecote24 Didn’t you see Bieksa on tv? Guy made a career of tough hits and he must have had SOME internal conflict not saying “keep your head up”. He towed the line like a good little boy and used the mandated adjectives to describe the hit.
First it’s Kevin Bieksa on the panel and now they’ve got a show starring Ryan Kesler. Oilers fans ought to be able to sue Sportsnet for this.
@CZabby19 Yeah you’re right. Let’s use Sean Avery instead of Bieksa, Hrudey, and the plethora of other NHL analysts who clearly call this a dirty/illegal hit 😂
@DerrickCSteeves Not Bieksa who played hard nosed,he said “it’s not defendable”…. The guy took a 180 foot run at him… disagree
@DiamondDrury @KnucklesNilan30 Every analyst? That’s pretty strange man, you sure we watched the same program? Because bieksa called it a bad hit, hrudey called it a bad almost every hockey media writer I’ve seen speak on the topic has called it dirty with the exception of one jets guy.
@trumpetm06 @Eklund The announcer, bieksa, Campbell, Friedman all said he should’ve played the puck with his stick. Some played nhl or are olympians. They definitely know. Also, yeah it’s easy from my couch cuz I’m not coked up throwing tantrums in the box like Scheifele was before this hit
It’s 3 days since the Toronto Maple Leafs snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Now the front office is making excuses instead of packing their bags & Kevin Bieksa has still not been hired as Head Coach. Meanwhile, Leaf fans await next year’s disappointment!
@griffdoell47 I’ve listened to many NHL players. It’s heavily in favour of charging. Bieksa, Carter etc all played too. Just because some NHL players defend it doesn’t mean it was legal or that other NHLers disagree lol
@mb_jfb I tend to agree with Bieksa that it appeared to be a sprained ankle. You can se it get twisted. He even suggested high ankle sprain. I think something similar happened to him once.
