It was painfully obvious when they played the Canucks. It's two Canadian teams so there should be no national bias. When they were winning it was constant gushing. When they were losing it wasn't what the Canucks were doing right. It was what the Oilers had to do to come back. When they did say something good about the Canucks it was short and then right back to talking about the Oilers.

I don't mind biases because that's just how things work. Bieksa has an obvious bias towards the Canucks. The difference being though that Bieksa is better at his job and he didn't go on a podcast and talk #### about the other team and their fans. The we dusted them comments and how Canucks Twitter is trash really isolates a massive market.
I just don't see a way that this works out well for him as it isn't cheering for a team it is saying something bad about another team and their fans. I can't recall the last time I heard a national sports personality say something like this.
I don't know if apologizing or keeping his mouth shut would be a better option but I think that his job is in legitimate question now.
