Canuck Animal Names - Who Are They??

There are still more Canuck animal names left to be revealed.  Today I'm going to reveal Ryan Kesler's animal name.  Its quite fitting actually.  Kevin Bieksa spilled the beans on this one as well during an interview closer to the start of the season.

Here's a tweet from Bieksa of him and his animal friends together having dinner.

So far we have the following animal names revealed in past posts:

Keith Ballard = Wolf

Cody Hodgson = Coho

Sami Salo = Owl

Kevin Bieksa = Wolverine

Alex Edler = Eagle

Jannik Hansen = Honey Badger 

Next up:

Ryan Kesler = Bull

The picture above was taken after "Kes" had been struck in the face with the puck.  The blow ripped a hole in his lower jaw and he lost a tooth.  He had it stitched back up and found his way back to the bench right after.

The traits of a Bull can be found in astrology...usually associated to the Tarus and are as follows:

"The characteristics are solidity, practicality, extreme determination and strength of will - no one will ever drive them, but they will willingly and loyally follow a leader they trust."

This is Ryan Kesler in a nutshell.  Determined, stubborn Ryan Kesler is also known as "Keslord" after the 2011 playoff series against the Nashville Predators.

You don't want to mess with a Bull and anyone who messes with Kesler on the ice is just as stupid.  He's not known as "Keslord" for nothing.
