Bieksa at it again with the background photos; trolls player who made fun of him on the ice

Kevin Bieksa is getting a great reaction to what's becoming a weekly feature for the Hockey NIght in Canada analyst. Last week, Bieksa trolled former teammate Ryan Kesler by placing a framed photograph of Kesler's ESPN body issue shoot from 2011 behind him while doing his segment from a home office.

This week, he took to a former opponent, getting a great reaction from him. Bieksa used a well-known incident that made coach Alain Vigneault crack up on live TV. In what has become known for Vernon Fiddler as "Bieksa-face", the veteran of 877 NHL games and long-time rival of Bieksa mocked him during a Canucks game against the Dallas Stars back in 2012. Vigneault, who was Bieksa's coach at the time, could not stop himself from laughing at the hilarious actics of Fiddler. Fiddler was a great sport about it, pointing it out on his own Twitter account.

Here is photo from that incident, with Fiddler in full Bieksa-face.

If you'd like to see the video of Vigneault cracking up, it's below.

Fiddler and Bieksa made a point of getting under each other's skin during games, with Fiddler once saying they would intentionally fire pucks at each other. Fiddler had mentioned back in 2017 that people still asked him to do Bieksa-face when he was recognized in public. Great to see the mutual respect here.
