Bieksa says Sharks are Diving - Questions their "Canadianess" ***With Video***


Recommended Posts

Only thing this reminds me of....sort of. Is Jonathan Toews after game 3 when he said "We need to expose them for whay they are" He backed up his words and damn near almost pulled off the 0-3 comeback.

All the pressure is on the Sharks to close this series out. We will find out what mettle this Sharks team has. Canucks just need to relax, no one is expecting anything. Just play smart, have fun... You never know.

Bieksa should shut his trap and put all his energies into playing hockey himself. He's been brutal.

Also, he just excused, however unintentionally, the refs for their disgraceful performance last night by implying that they couldn't avoid calling penalties against the Canucks because of the embellishment. But that's why they have the offsetting embellishment minor.

Yeah, that's sorta everyone's point. Have you watched the video on the other thread on the front page right? My personal favorites are all of Couture's dives, the Desjardins' glove on the puck pulling it out of goal and Couture's throwing the puck out of the zone on the 5-on-4 last night.

Good god man, could it be any more embarrassing to be a Canucks fan right now.

Bieksa, than man who cranks Havlat in the crank says this. Quite sad actually. Maybe trying to divert attention from our starting goalie who was basically crying in the post game.

He's definitely telling the truth here (esp. the Thornton one, shaking the wrong hand LOL)...and it's not like he's Burrows, Lapierre or Kesler so he has a right to say (I have to give those guys credit they seem to have cut down the diving though).

Sometimes you have to draw attention to what the other team is doing. Against Chicago, Gillis called out the refs, it took the pressure off us and the number of penalties weren't nearly as lopsided as before. This series, AV pointed out the Sharks cheating on faceoffs and the next game we were much better in the circle.

He does speak the truth but make sure to know miss the entire "truth":

It was suggested to Bieksa that, well, the Canucks do that already. Ryan Kesler was slow to get up in the first period after taking a high stick from Patrick Marleau, drawing a minor penalty, and then coming out for the ensuing power play faceoff in the offensive zone. Players like Kesler, Alex Burrows and Maxim Lapierre don’t have the greatest reputations when it comes to embellishing hits.

"Well, yeah, but it doesn't take away the fact it's happening from those two guys,” Bieksa said.
