While Kevin Bieksa received a standing ovation in his first return to Vancouver, another former Canucks star was getting booed every time he touched the puck.
But Anaheim Ducks forward Ryan Kesler got the last laugh in Vancouver on Friday night, scoring his fifth goal of the season against his former team before celebrating with his arms raised as he enjoyed the Rogers Arena crowd's disapproval.

Before Friday's contest, Kesler had just one goal and no assists in his previous 11 games.
.@Ryan_Kesler to @JSB_FOX: "I've scored a lot of goals in this building, but that one was probably my favorite." #LetsGoDucks
