Coaches? Not one mention besides Tochett. Expectations. Friction. Personality. Competition. Winning. Psychological motivation. 1000% Speculation. I know something I don’t have to guess about. And unless you’ve been in the locker room with the guys in the last five years that’s all it is- guessing. Hive mind and building the actual chemistry? Look up Dr. Joe Dispenza. One thing you might consider is how anger and other emotions (+/-) manifest on a team. Read some sports psychology or psychology books/articles/studies and consider the Vancouver fishbowl, the current climate of change and I think it might put you a little closer to dispersing to some of the Tochett toxicity, and everyone who has anything with the locker room and anything else the team is exposed to. Until a team is a unit it’s very tough to get anything done as a team on a consistent basis. Take it from the silliest of moments to the most serious. Ready for watching the game? It’s funny to me when fans who aren’t paid by any organization and are strictly fans say “we” in the vernacular of a team. I don’t know one person in 2024 who’s had a smooth transition from 2023. Excuse the length of my response. However consider the conditions when you judge. At its simplest form life is emotions, choices and hormones. Actions over words. But words are motivations or they can make things worse. What do you want? It’s why I mention Dr Joe Dispenza’s studies. There thousands with the same attitude. Do you want to be part of the problem, or part of the solution? I’ve synthesized it all down to five letters. Yes/No? Do it. Don’t guess. Own it. Change your life, lead by example. Easier said than done, obviously. All the best to you, family and friends!

[@matthewm8021]

The thing about being a leader is you need to have multiple styles to suit the different personalities. If Miller is yelling at Petterson expecting to get results, and he’s not, he should try a different tactic instead of trying the same thing over and over with the same poor results.

[@J-jizzy_]

Well that’s what separates miller as a leader from Hughes.

[@jjmerago1]

@@J-jizzy_ Miller isn't a leader. He is despised by his former teammates. NY was thriled to get rid of him. He is toxic and its well known he has anger issues that predated Vancouver. He 7th in team points. We dont need Miller he has had his "season" and now its ride the contract into retirement while he shits all over another team. We also need a stable coach that knows what he's doing. Horvat was the only guy that put Miller in his place and it showed. After he left Miller took over the room and the guys that were doing well like Pety and Kuz fell off and Hughes is still to young to take on a vet like Miller. This team is dead until they trade Miller or fire the coach and bring in someone that will nueter Miller.

[@matthewm8021]

@@J-jizzy_ I’m not a Vancouver fan nor do I follow the team, but just from what was in the video, having played hockey pretty much my entire life and from my own professional experience, it will be hard for Hughes, at 25, to take on someone like Miller who is 31 and appears to have a very aggressive personality. A personality like Millers is only put in its place by someone willing to put them in their place and have teeth behind whatever consequences are behind it. I don’t see someone like Miller, again from what I have seen and heard, listening to Hughes unless he wants to and respects the position. If he doesn’t, and the coach and team won’t apply consequences, he will run amok. What I suspect happens to Petterson, is if Miller gets in his face, then Petterson gets in his own head and his play suffers. I am obviously no where near the skill of Petterson, but I have always been much the same. People getting on my case after I make a mistake only makes me perform worse. If Petterson is a perfectionist, getting on him to play better doesn’t work and will only make him perform worse.

[@masterferguson8703]

It's a personality thing..Miller is just a snap show..he's been doing this since elementary school. I'm the same way..he think Peterson is soft as butter and it pains him.

[@B-a-s-i]

@@jjmerago1 100% agree.

[@coolhandmooses]

Petterson’s IQ is why he should be running the power play . For years it’s frustrated me seeing Petey open while Miller over handles the puck just to give it away up the middle. Over and over again. Then pouts after a shorty is scored as if it wasn’t his fault. A guy that commits the same mental gaffes over and over has no right yelling at of his teammates.

[@Matt-nj1yh]

His IQ is why he "should" be... but his lacking performance, low production is why is ISN'T!

[@shmoo232]

Hughes is the powerplay quarterback and he is the one who trusts Miller more often on the powerplay.

[@oliverquach9614]

I think I’ve figured it out, make Petey and JT attend couples counselling with a sports psychologist. They need to learn to communicate with each other to rekindle their love.

[@jerryrick4685]

Give them Molly

[@Vdoom777]

I think in MacKinnon's case, he is a natural leader who can motivate people by his intensity and is a good guy who can be respected as well. I believe that JT comes off more as an arrogant jerk and isn't nearly as respected.

[@pdpyoshi]

in MacKinnon's case, his greatness backs up his attitude. In Miller's case...well.

[@jjmuti3979]

Mac is also a much higher caliber player than Miller. Hell even Mikko Rantanen is known as an intense guy but is consistently on top his game unlike Miller.

[@jonquiogue6755]

Sorry but there's no comparison here at all!!! 2 very different players by far!!! JT is toxic sorry to say:( MacKinnon is a humble player...

[@broadstreet21]

Funny you mentioned MacKinnon, I feel he ought to be Avs captain. Doesn't hurt he grew up an Avs fan.

[@esperago]

I agree and I think it's important to note that in many northern European countries, most citizens think of Americans as stereotypically arrogant and self-centered. I'm sure that Petterson has an inbuilt bias just like this and right from the get-go could not stand Miller.

[@randombutrelevant]

There is a thing here, but I highly doubt it is anywhere near as big as it actually is. Now, if they actually don't like each other and it is affecting performance? That is bad, use it as fuel to produce more, not produce less.

[@RobTalksHockey]

Agreed.

[@izzrk]

You don't think it is as big as it... is?

[@RyanDawson-d3n]

It’s only a thing because the team is underperforming

[@JH-jw7pu]

Reminds me of the Ted Lasso moment where Roy Kent says that Jamie’s play has gone down because he’s been made to be a team player and pass more often, which in turn has made him average.

[@migjager7352]

As a Flyers fan I can only dream of my team having such 'problems'. Two elite centers... Thanks for the interesting and insightful take.

[@ThEMarD]

Petty definitely needs to snipe more. That last game versus the Sharks where he scored twice in like 45 seconds was ridiculous and he definitely deserved the "let's go Petty" chant for those snipes

[@Heterodoxism]

It was the sharks, but noted.

[@izzrk]

Absolutely phenomenal take. No notes. Thoughtful, well reasoned opinions with solid research. Additionally, unrelated to the first point, I'm convinced.

[@BookemDanno311]

No notes? You sure?

[@stinkfinger630]

Miller is an arrogant hot-headed bully. Sure, he’s a beast and can dominate, but he’s one of those guys that wears on you. His pouting, stick smashing, and screaming gets tiresome.

[@Zolid_Oak]

[@HelloDuo-d5n]

Absolute disaster and embarrassment for the Canucks when two star players can’t grow up enough to play together on the power play. Either they figure it out or trade one. Complete shame and just another stab in the guts for Canuck fans. I will die before they win a cup I swear.

[@jon8004]

[@Zyppix]

I would argue Peterson playing “too unselfish” is not because of a “too hight of hockey IQ” but in reality would probably lower his overall hockey IQ. I think the best players in the world, like Mcdavid Mackinninon Drai Crosby etc… can understand when they should shoot the puck vs passing it.

[@Odysseus38]

They should be building a team around Pettersson so...get rid of Miller. Problem fixed. If not let Elias go to a club that can win the Cup. Hate to see Elias waste his best years.

[@matsinilsson9578]

It is all coaching. There is a reason he played better under Bodreaux.

[@hippomancy]

I do not think Miller wants to win more. I think Peterson is more analytic and tries to maintain control. Miller doesn't always score with his "just shoot" approach, and you've pointed out Peterson's tictactoe works. Keeping them separate is clearly the only way to get it done. Not like it's Mario and Jaromir, or Gretz and Kurri. tend to think Millers chirping is the harmful element.

[@matsinilsson9578]

Like I said, Miller fits better playing with Marchand or Milan Lucic.

[@tellsitasitis]

This is so overblown. Everyone has played a sport with someone you don't like. When you play, it goes away. If these two honestly can't get over not liking each other, then they aren't professional.

[@TheSafetySmith]

The media in Vancouver will not stop until a trade of either Pete or Miller will take pace so they can have something to talk about and criticize the Nucks for for the next ten years. This is common in all professional sports here in Vancouver.

Haha, I wouldn’t doubt it! The Vancouver media is toxic.

What credible sources might that be? Unless you're in the dressing room this is purely speculation and it annoys the hell out of me. They are human beings who may have confidence issues, problems at home or any number of issues humans have. I 'm pretty sure they will both come around as the season progresses. The way I see it , this teams biggest problem is other than Hughes, none of their defensemen seem to be able to make a pass out of their own end.

[@royalkings227]

Petersons like the Spiderman of the nhl, he's always hold back

[@timmie2k3]

I think they probably don't like each other, but I think the friction brought up here is why they don't like each other. Miller wants to win, and he's super up front about calling people out. He likely sees Pettersson holding back and is vocal about wanting to see more, but Pettersson is holding back to make sure to include the rest of the team. To me, Pettersson seems to want long term team success, he wants people around him to be the best they can be and he wants to help them get there. Miller seems like he wants short term team success, he wants to win now in any way possible and individual effort overcoming the weaker play of some teammates is what he sees as what's needed. Both are incredibly valid, one sees success now but with no long term plan and one sees a potential dynasty with less success in the immediate future. Ideally they'd learn to work together and find a compromise, but I also don't see Miller as the type to compromise and Pettersson feels like he'd be stubborn when he feels like the other person is being a dick. If they can't work it out, I'd rather the Canucks keep Pettersson, he just has way more upside in so many ways and I think he'd be better for the long term success of the team.

[@norbertrossi7925]

And then…you see the Crosby-Malkin-Letang trio. They will all be in the HOF. They would literally give blood for each other. You can see the level of love and respect they have for each other and the sport, AND their team. Yes, they are obviously “over-the-hill” in terms of their former abilities, but don’t tell them that.

[@frankdeboer1347]

Personality is a huge aspect of the game. Different people need to be treated differently because their personality is different.

[@evolgrim4139]

I know what happened with JT, my family friend works for the organization and has heard what happened, I’m not gonna say anything out of respect for Miller and this is something that doesn’t need to be out there but he is still recovering, it’s something he called out himself and was honest with the organization about and I’m glad he took the proper steps to getting help before it was too late

This is where things could get a bit political. At least neither of them are captain, but this conflict can put some pressure on Hughes to resolve it. It was bad enough they traded away Horvat, who was a good leader.

[@randombutrelevant]

Hughes should be on the left wall on the PP, move EP to top, put JT in front of net. Hughes can use all of that ice (more than he already does) and gives him space to create movement and open up shots for the other 2. It's basic, but it would work, too often you just have EP standing there waiting for the puck, he gets shaded, the PP gets stuck, they leave JT as the 2 option, and, opposition is fine with that. Boeser can be the bumper/slot shot (or miller, doesn't matter) I am not sure how Tocchet doesn't see this. Rarely do I see them use the bumper to the middle, when this is out, either flank gets shaded because the PK know there is no serious thought of going to slot (see TB, this is a threat, which means the one timer is still viable) If you move Hughes to the wall, EP can go into slot, where he should be shooting vs over on the side. However, if all remains same, yes, just about every game EP has a shot he MUST take, but just doesn't and isn't fast enough with. Chemistry is chemistry, it is astonashing that their stats with vs not with (particulalry EP's) are so high. If anything, it should serve as fuel for EP (whatever JT is doing) but man it is crazy to think EP might... might be able to just 'flip the switch' but just doesn't, which is concerning, he should be doing it for ALL other teammates not not doing it because of 1. Perhaps JT is trying to be a 'player coach' and EP just isn't having it? Who knows, I blew it off for a while as media BS, but there is something here for sure. Winning is the cure, the more they lose... the more this will fester. The only way out is to win it out.

[@thebigpicture2032]

It’s an easily solvable issue with a psychologist for both players and Tocchet. Most coaches would have figured it out by now but that’s not Tocchet’s style

Now if Miller has some Teammates siding with him against Ep, if I were the owner of the Canucks , I would trade him, the sooner the better.

It's easy... Pettersson is constantly frustrated because he is the Canucks 2nd Line Center. JT out of the line the lower producer was able to rise to the 1st line and have the entire team support him. the moment JT returned Pettersson was allowed to remain on the 1st line, with JT taking a back seat... the production dropped immediately. JT was played more and more, while Petey was producing less and less. First game back Petey was at the 19 minute mark... but by game 3 he was at 13 minutes TOI. JT was getting goals, assists... you know, producing! The problem is Petey. the man baby doesn't deserve the salary and doesn't deserve the attention. If you take his entire career into account he averages high 70s in points per season. only once he was able to rise above the 100 point threshold. He had 1 good season, now he is permanently injured with "tendinitis" that will never be healed and will only get worse every season. I bet JT has more 100 point seasons left in him than Petey has in his entire future PETEY IS A JEALOUS CHILD!

I don't know why, or if im reading too much into it, but they dont use him this way on the PP now, or teams have adjusted and predict it.

Agree 100%. Almost like him being unselfish is a mistake. Hehehe.

golden eye, nostalgia, LOL

[@Petry4u]

He is still my favorite player. I believe in you, Petey!

[@thekid20k59]

I feel like this could also be said about Marner, over thinks plays way too often

[@RobTalksHockey]

Definitely. The only difference is that Marner plays with superstars, so when he forces a pass they can atleast finish
