Bieksa trolls Fiddler with "caveman" photo on Hockey Night in Canada
Kevin Bieksa’s bookshelf provided some subtle hilarity for the second straight week on Hockey Night in Canada.
After showing off a framed picture of Ryan Kesler in the nude, this week it was Vernon Fiddler’s turn. Bieksa showcased a framed photo of Fiddler on the shelf behind, from a famous incident that happened between the two former NHL players.

During a game in Dallas on February 26, 2012, Fiddler did a hilarious impression of Bieksa while the Canucks defenceman was sitting on the bench. It got a laugh from Bieksa, but it got an all-out giggle fit from head coach Alain Vigneault.
In 2012, Vernon Fiddler (@TheFiddler38) did an incredible impression of Kevin Bieksa (@kbieksa3)…
And coach Alain Vigneault was LOVING it. š¤£ pic.twitter.com/43g0SvQRB2

āHeās not the first guy to do it, unfortunately,ā Bieksa told After Hours back in 2012. āThereās a couple of other Muppets around the league that have been trying to do it. Iām sure heās not the last guy after this.”
āHeās an ugly guy to start out with, and then heās doing that face on top of that,ā Bieksa added. āHeās not doing himself any favours.ā
Fiddler shot back.
āObviously, it hurt the cavemanās feelings a little,ā Fiddler said before the next Canucks-Stars game in March of 2012. āTheir bench got quite a kick out of it, which says what kind of guy he is.ā
Nine years later, there’s clearly no hard feelings between the two, with Fiddler giving Bieksa kudos on Twitter.

Bieksa has the Vern Fiddler picture where he was mocking Juice. That's the one that gave AV the giggle fit.
So good.
