(via) Just, wow…holy shit. Guzzler! Worth three listens…

After the game, Fox Sports’ Mike Dunsmore approached Bieksa, mistakenly thinking he was Kesler, and Bieksa simply never corrected him.

The Province’s Jason Botchford asked Bieksa about the deception:

“That guy’s an idiot. It’s his own fault if he can’t tell the difference between an all star center and a plug defenceman” explained Kevin Bieksa. “He shouldn’t even be allowed in the room.”  Bieksa didn’t stop there, as he continued to rip on Dunsmore. “He doesn’t know who Ryan Kesler is.  Ryan Kesler won a silver medal for them. I did a full 10 maybe 15 minute interview with him, I was telling how I grew up in Livonia.”

That’s amazing. Also amazing: Bieksa-as-Kesler telling Dunsmore his nickname is “Guzzler”. Legendary.

Let this be a cautionary tale for anyone thinking of interviewing an athlete ever: when you approach him, make sure you have the right guy, or you might accidentally wind up inviting one of hockey’s elite pranksters into your home, unawares. And you will be pranked.

One final question: How many games will Bieksa get for catching Dunsmore with his head down?
