Canucks pay tribute to Kevin Bieksa in his return to Vancouver.

The Vancouver Canucks put on a special tribute for a former player on Friday night.

Former Canuck's defenseman Kevin Bieksa made his return to Vancouver for the first time since he was dealt to Anaheim in a trade over the summer.

Bieksa spent a huge part of his career in Vancouver, and as a result had several of his career highlights with the club, and full credit to the Vancouver fans who showed a tremendous amount of class for a player who is obviously still very loved.

Perhaps the best part of this story was the fact that you could clearly see the impact it had on Bieksa himself, who is usually a very stoic person.
