The polarizing one was booed enthusiastically and relentlessly throughout the game while scoring the only Ducks' goal, catching Brandon Prust with a knee and taking a penalty in the third period. He celebrated his second-period goal with a prolonged celebration in front of the Canucks' net.

"Just savouring the moment," he said afterwards.

"He said before he was going to try to get everyone to hate and he did a great job of it," Bieksa said. "It's nice when he scores that goal and throws it right back at the fans."

And if you were waiting for him to break character after the game, well, you're still waiting.

"Obviously, they're still bothered by the whole thing," Kesler said. "My job's to play hockey. I've moved on and found a home in Anaheim."

And maybe the Ducks are finding something, even though you hope that's not the case.

The NHL's lowest-scoring team counted three measly goals in their three-game swing through western Canada and, incredibly, took five of six points. Kesler, while pausing to bite the head of a baby bird, said this is part of their new identity and promised more of the same in the second half of the season.

"We're going to run with it," he said.
