It’s funny how those rose coloured glasses can make the other teams guys d-bags but ours some heroic pest. It’s how some guys make a living sticking in the league getting under other teams skins drawing penalties.

Last time Bieksa was on the ice at the end of last season, he clearly wanted no part of shaking hands of the Preds in the playoffs, so went up on the forecheck and took a penalty in a scrum with 30 seconds or so left, so he could go early to the room and avoid the line at center ice.
I am sure his thought was more that the Flames wanted the puck for breaking the curse as opposed to Smith's shutout, not that it really mattered to him.
