A week ago, Kevin Bieksa surprised Scott Oake and the CBC broadcasting crew by answering a rather innocuous question about the Canucks’ third period strategy with lyrics from a rap song – LMFAO’s shots, to be exact. It was great, especially because it led to the creation of this animated gif:
Last night, CBC returned to the bit, mashing up Bieksa’s crunk response with the chorus of the song. I especially like the way they synced up the “shots” with Bieksa engaged in spirited acts of pugilism. Good on them to remember that, when given the opportunity, Kevin Bieksa will drag his knuckles across your face. (Be sure to click that link if you like watching Bieksa pulverize dudes.) Yes, Bieksa likes fighting. He once commented that his daughter had headbutted him harder than a Tom Kostopoulos one-punch, which proves he’s training his children to fight. Also, Michael Landsberg once asked him why he always looked like he wanted to punch something, and Bieksa responded, “because I do.”
Oh, how this man would enrich the Twitterverse.
Anyway. Don Cherry has been banging Bieksa’s drum (or, as he calls it, Bieska’s durm) for some time now, but you might have noticed that the rest of the CBC has fallen for Bieksa pretty hard this postseason. The Bieksa interview is becoming a staple of a Canucks’ telecast on CBC.
Clearly, we weren’t the only ones who noticed what a great quote he is.
Expect to see much more of Juice as the Canucks continue their playoff push.

May 16, 2011Now when you’re half as old as I
And think that soon your end is nigh
Then of the past you’ll talk like me *
And rave of Kess and St Louis
While unaware of Bobby Baun
Or Dryden Dutton and Dionne
You’ll have your time of which to sing
Like when Luongo did his thing
And just as I you’ll have stories
Of the greatest and their glories
Like Espositos Phil and Tony
And like Flying Phil Maloney
And one fine friend like Whisky Jack
To share with you your looking back

May 16, 2011I believe Don Cherry likes to call him “Biekska,” which you have to admit is kind of catchy.
