Miller played 15 minutes...My question would be why the f*** is he on the ice to start overtime if you see him as 6th most important forward on the night.

I am not a Pettersson fan at all but there is something very wrong with Miller. Tocchet needs to eat this as well. Putting Miller on the ice for the start of OT cost them the game.

This isn't him "silencing" anything. Quite the opposite, actually. If there wasn't an issue or it was being overblown, he would just laugh it off. But, instead, he got noticeably angry and walked off. Couple that with the fact the his current coach, former coach and captain just said there was an issue.

This is just adding fuel to the fire, really.

I’ll forever appreciate the Sens like I do the Bruins (for 2010) if this loss pounds an even bigger wedge in that Canucks locker room lol
Pettersson was diving all over the place and Miller was blowing his defensive coverages. Likely the two reasons they hate eachother.

This is only going to get worse.

Good on him for silencing the silly reporter and walking off, hope him and the canucks have a great rest of their season

The first reporter's question was fine, I think. Gave him a chance to clear the air. The second reporter was a bit too much. I would have done exactly what he did.

Strongly disagree. If he'd walked the first question, I'd agree with you unequivocally.

Oh man, maybe he's just pissed over the rumors and losing the game, but that doesn't look like someone silencing the rumors.

If there was truly nothing I would expect him to laugh about it rather than whatever that was

That's far from silencing rumors. This is how a teenager would act. In fact, both Miller and Pettersson should start acting like adults. Both seem like juvenile pissbabies.

Canucks are definitely not in an envious position right now.

Pettersson acted like he was tied to a chair and being interrogated by the KGB. Dude needs to change his mindset. It's only a few hockey media guys asking questions...it's not that serious. Throw out a few quips and lie your butt off if you want, drop a few "obviously we're frustrated and working hard every shift" takes, and that's it. It's not his first year in the league and he really should know better how to handle the media by this stage.

But this is contrary to numerous comments about the believability of dismissiveness by invoking laughter. He’s supposed to say, “this is all untrue” then laugh. When people see the laughter they know they can believe him and nod before their next google search.

Obviously him losing his cool, swearing, and then storming off means there’s nothing to see here…
It most likely means that he's tired of answering that same question. And even if it's 100% true that there's a problem between those two players on a personal level, do these journalists expect him to say that? How dumb can you get as journalist?

He did laugh it off the first time he got asked that question a year ago.
