Kevin Bieksa wasn't very happy with the Ducks decision to not play him very much

The Ducks got swept handily by the hand of the San Jose Sharks. And when we say handily, we’re talking about to the tune of being outscored 16-4 in the short 4-game series. Obviously this is not the result that any of the Ducks were hoping for, but one Duck seemed to take the loss particularly rough – one that didn’t play.

Kevin Bieksa, Cam Fowler, Korbinian Holzer, Chris Kelly, Antoine Vermette, Troy Terry — Anaheim Ducks (@AnaheimDucks) April 17, 2018 Kevin Bieksa said he had a ruptured tendon in finger from Radko Gudas fight. He had some outgoing shade, calling it "very disappointing" that he didn't play much in the playoffs. "It didn't turn out to be a good-looking decision." — Eric Stephens (@icemancometh) April 21, 2018 Kevin Bieksa said he was “disappointed” to not play much in the postseason and said it turned out to be not a “good-looking move.” He was not happy and with contract expiring, safe to say he won’t be back — Mike Coppinger (@MikeCoppinger) April 21, 2018

The veteran Bieksa does have a ton of experience, but he seemed to fall out of favour in Anaheim – particularly after injury concerns. Obviously he would be a little disappointed with the decision to keep him off the ice, as anyone would, but the spiteful comment really isn’t a good look for a player that is on a team with such a strong defensive contingent.

Fans speculate that this could be the end of his tenure with the Ducks, especially considering his contract is officially up.
