Elias Pettersson silences the rumours of a rift with JT miller

  • Work is still on-going to rebuild the site styling and features. Please report any issues you may experience so we can look into it.
It's amazing to me that there are still people attacking the media and claiming they're making this up. It's worse that Petey is attacking the character of media members talking about claiming they're making stuff up when he damn well knows its true.
I think the point they (Petey and JT) are making is that the idea that there is a huge rift between them is blown out of proportion. Shit happens. People move on. It's not some damned soap opera, which is what the media and many people are making it out to be.

When 1 player is making 3.6 M more than the other...and the contribution/production is well not there what do think happens with Million dollars 'BABIES"they pout


but least productive and thin-skinned
That’s exactly what brought it to a boiling point, was the pettersen contract. When he signed it, his play dropped off, and it continued to start the year. A fiery and win at all costs JT miller who likely had friction with Petey before, just said well if he can’t give a f*ck at 11.6, why the hell should I, took his ball and went home
 
can they do that without intering player assitance program?
Yeah for sure. As long as both the player and the team are cool with it, they can be granted paid leave under the broad umbrella of “personal reasons.”
 
Ya, I wonder what the actual issue is- seems to me Miller is a bit hotheaded and probably knows it, Petey is reportedly sensitive- jeez, which horse do you back?

This, but I think with them it goes deeper than that. But ya, any sorta interaction between your two leaders would put shit to bed, instead it’s this constant denial when it’s only asked because it’s so obvious.


Why? Just to avoid the label/stigma? He needed help, that’s assistance. You need a reason to not work, mental concerns are 110% valid, but you can’t really explain it any other way, and I’m confused why you’d want to.
no I asked if it was allowed, as if the player has to go in the program as soon as he wants to leave of thus reason, but apparently they can just take some paid days off with the management's approval
 
Probably would be best for the Canucks to not have either of them in front of a camera for the rest of the season, as well as not talking about it anymore to the press. Just going to make things worse and people will be taken out of context to try and sensationalize the situation more than it needs to be.

I assume you can fudge a game or two as “maintenance”, but if it’s a real problem you kinda want that official channel to be as open as possible and so it goes that way, is my understanding. If there are any strikes against him where it’d matter in the future, ala Nichuskin, that’s the only way it’d matter, and I assume mental concerns are kept separate from drug/conduct incidents.
 
I'm a professional body reader and, even though I think everyone else sees it anyways, I don't think it's been more obvious that two teammates hate each other.

Except they clearly haven’t moved on. Boudreau confirmed it was a problem before he was hired in 2021 and it’s nearly 2025.

Boudreau, to be fair, also said he was told that it was settled before he got there and it wasn't a thing while he was there and he didn't want to ask anyone about it, because he likes both players personally.
 
i mean, miller just came back from a personal leave

isn’t it at least as probable that petey doesn’t appreciate the media trying to stir up high school drama involving his teammate who currently is dealing with something serious in his personal life?

like a couple years ago at the season-end press conference when boeser got multiple questions about his dad, who at the time was dying, and hughes who wasn’t the captain yet tried to shut it down with a “next question."
Reverse-Uno card, Petey was actually deeply caring towards Miller all along? I'm on board!
 
whatever happens on the ice stay type of thing.

It’s the same thing with teammates. Whatever happens stays in the locker room.

This is not the time to unload key players but if he’s not getting along with others than we have to move on.
 
The situation is looking more and more dire. We can already see multiple factions forming inside the team. It could take decades to recover from this if it gets any worse.

If it is true, one of them has to be traded unfortunately. Both players are playing in their prime years right now it’s sucks they can’t put their differences and egos aside for the team and don’t realize the window they have is actually not that big. Years from now they will most likely regret such a feud with no cups to ever brag about. Hope it was worth it boys..

Fair enough - "moved on" is likely the wrong term to use here. My point is that while they may bump heads from time to time, it is not a big of a deal as many in the media and our fanbase claim it to be. That is all.

I realize and appreciate that people are frustrated at the inconsistency on their individual play but I think it's stupid to think that it is due to a rift when there are clearly other more likely contributing factors (our terrible D transition
/O support, JT back from long time away, poor lineup decisions).

Again, I shouldn't be surprised after all these years. Our media are traditionally terrible and I have been shaking my head at people like JPatt for a long time prior. 🥴😎

It's wild that people are still acting like it's the evil media making up a story. Boudreau saying he was aware of it, Elliotte Friedman saying Miller and Pete have been asked to sort it out because its taking a toll on other peoplein the org,
Tocchet and Hughes' response to the question. Nope, all made up, it's a big conspiracy

Today, will JT and EP40 kiss and make up or will EP40 spit in JT’s cheerios. Tune in and find out on today’s episode of As the Canuck Turns …
