Kevin Bieksa didn't hold back last night during the Sportsnet Panel in intermission as he tore into this controversial player for dirty plays.

Kevin Bieksa is quickly becoming the face of the Sportsnet Panel and a big voice in hockey media. He has well-reasoned takes most of the time, and can speak as a voice of someone who had a successful career in the NHL and as someone who saw the game change from a past era to what it is now.

Last night, he decided it was time to speak out on Nick Cousins and his recent hit on Juuso Valimaki which went unpenalized.

Bieksa went on to talk about two solutions that could potentially change how Cousins plays the game, putting an end to his string of dirty hits. First, he mentions that a veteran or teammate whom Cousins respects needs to talk some sense into him. Maybe Bieksa thinks that is what he was doing on the panel, but he still offered that up as a potential solution.

That, or he noted that the NHL could hand out a massive suspension for Cousins on his next play is questionable. This would send a message that the NHL has their eye on him and that this type of play is not tolerated.
