The media in Vancouver is very toxic, one of the most toxic in the League. But it’s possible and likely it’s both.Pettersson vs. media is the real Pettersson vs. Miller.
Pettersson was diving all over the place and Miller was blowing his defensive coverages. Likely the two reasons they hate eachother.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
Good on him for silencing the silly reporter and walking off, hope him and the canucks have a great rest of their season
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.
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.
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?Obviously him losing his cool, swearing, and then storming off means there’s nothing to see here…
He did laugh it off the first time he got asked that question a year ago.This isn't him "silencing" anything. Quite the opposite, actually.
