Former NHLer Kevin Bieksa Rips 'Dirtiest' Player Nick Cousins
Bieksa Blasts Cousins for Controversial Hit
Former NHL player Kevin Bieksa has launched a scathing attack on Florida Panthers forward Nick Cousins, calling him one of the "dirtiest" players in the league. Bieksa's comments came on a recent episode of the NHL studio show "To The Point."
Bieksa's Strong Words
"I've never seen a more gutless, dirty, cheap shot in my life," Bieksa exclaimed. "He knew exactly what he was doing, and he did it with no regard for the player's safety."
Bieksa's outburst stemmed from a controversial hit by Cousins on Calgary Flames defenseman Juuso Valimaki. The hit resulted in a suspension for Cousins and left Valimaki with a serious knee injury.
Hockey Night in Canada Segment
Bieksa's criticism of Cousins was made during a segment on "Hockey Night in Canada." The normally jovial analyst uncharacteristically unleashed a torrent of vitriol towards the Panthers forward.
Bieksa's comments have sparked a heated debate among hockey fans and analysts. Some have praised Bieksa for speaking out against dirty play, while others have accused him of crossing a line.
