All media questions are dumb and repetitive. The reason they are done is because people watch them and the team makes money off of them. Both him and Petey throwing tantrums when both their coach and captain just said that there is a problem demonstrates exactly why these two have problems with each other. just say, "we are working on our issues, we are keeping things, private, end of storey, next question". Not "ask me anything" raise voice and stomp out like a child. Again... this isn't some random dude being asked questions, he is getting paid to answer questions.

The rumors are just that. Rumors. No, the players aren't besties. But Miller is obviously going through something on his own. So is Petey. I don't see how you've all extrapolated this feud. My fear is that the rabid rumor munching press is going to drive the stars to leave Canadian markets for the anonymity of Columbus or Utah or somewhere where their kids can have a life without invasive media hounding them, and ridiculous fan rumors constantly swirling. Have some decency. Give these guys the room to breathe and let's keep the comments, conjecture, and concerns about what happens on the ice. There's a reason why the press is not told about what happens in the room. They're not on the team. What happens in the room stays in the room and it's none of your business.

They have played together for years. If they had serious problems with each other they wouldn't have signed long term contracts. They may have exchanged words or had a feisty practice and now its been totally blown out of proportion. Garland and Joshua got into a scuffle during practice and they moved past it. This seems like nonsense and if they were on a 5 game win streak the media wouldn't even be talking about it.

[@danielnam9026]

It’s not a rumour at this point. Tocchet, Quinn, and Boudreau all confirmed that there’s a rift between Petey and JTM. Just because they say there’s no issue, their body language and demeanour shows there is some beef going on.

[@boxvango9021]

@danielnam9026 differences of opinion, clashes of personality, even guys who don't like each other, these things are all expected on any team. You don't have everybody cut from the same cloth. This issue has been blown out of proportion. The management doesn't like leaks, and Vancouver fans/media are like a gossipy sewing circle. Add the two together and you have everybody jumping to conclusions. I don't buy that this is a big deal, I think this is a clickbait story that the media and the fans won't stop biting on. It's the same kind of mentality that falls for all kinds of ludacris conspiracy theories. I think only gullible people fall for this kind of trash.

[@darrinnoel8781]

I agree. It's nice to read a positive comment praising both of them & showing loyalty & confidence in both of them. These two have proven in the past they are two of the best ever Vancouver Canucks in the history of the team. I roll my eyes when ever I hear or read one of the many haters saying : "This player needs to be traded , they are a cancer to the team" or they should put this player in the press box for a couple of games to punish him" Give me a break. The people making those comments are not the true loyal for life & educated fans , they are people who want to get their 15 seconds of fame by trashing someone else online or on the radio in order to build up their own self esteem which is low.

the contrast between this and Petey's interview is stark. Pettersson was really exasperated about being asked if it was distracting him as a follow up to a question where he said his relationship with JT was good, and shit is being made up. Here's what I don't get, if their relationship is good, according to both JT and Petey, what the actual fuck were the Hughes and Tochette talking about prior to the Ottawa game? like, really? talk about not everyone on the same page. Alviin and Rutherford need to step in and get Petey, Miller, Hughes, and Tochette in the same room and do at least that - get everyone on the same page - otherwise the franchise is going to look and play like a laughing-stock because people are pulling the rope in different directions

There has been no other evidence what so ever of a feud between them. Its sad and frankly pathetic that the sports media & fans on social media continue to speculate & gossip about it. The focus should be on the team needing to play better because they've been inconsistent & there's a danger of missing the playoffs. And yes Miller & Pettersson both need to play a lot better otherwise the team won't make the playoffs. Stop the foolish speculation & gossip on the supposed feud.

Then telling the media that if was JTs guy on a couple of goals last night. To me I believe it is the coaching. How can they go for a whole period and get 1 or 2 shots. That is coaching. They need to shoot more every night. Even the Ray Ferrero was saying the same things during the game. The pass up a shot for a low percentage pass.

[@geebster.]

Guys been actively losing us games by not following the game plan or listening to the coach. He probably needs to play fewer minutes since his conditioning is probably not great given his time away. His focus too. The shorthanded goal and the OT goal against were both him not listening to what the coaches said (which we know from what Tocchet said yesterday postgame). Its good to see both him and the coach acknowledged the mistake but its become a bit of a pattern. Against Utah it was him staying too long out there with the bench visibly calling for him to change, he pushes for offense instead, then doesnt get his man on the 2 on 1 game winner the other way. The Petey thing is a distraction and the media needs to just leave it at some point, but I honestly think they should let Petey play with Hughes more and reduce Millers minutes a bit til he gets back into form. Blueger can play 2-3 more minutes a game.
