This is what Brad Richardson said in his exit meetings with the canucks

He said don’t put JT Miller around young guys as he will absolutely lay into them

He is an insanely straight shooter

A soon to be 32 year old needs veterans to keep him in check, by this time in his career he is a veteran.
 
I think the most infamous version of this, is the Larry Bird/Magic Johnson Converse photoshoot. Where Magic went to Bird's property in Indiana to film a commercial for Cons and they got along great. Magic went to say what up to him pre-game to say whaddup, and whatever and Bird just outright ignored him. Told him later he needs to view Magic as an enemy on the court.

It’s really interesting how intense those rivalries were back then. Lakers v Celtics Bird Magic, then Detroit were very much the super heel group. Jordan hated the Pistons and Isiah and I think Isiah got left off the Olympic team because of grudges. That was such an intense era that started with Bird vs Magic and ended when Jordan retired.

I miss that passion in some ways.
 
I dont think he likes the drama, I think he just likes or wants to be the Alpha male and big dog in any room, so if things get leaked without his consent or knwoledge, he will react by trying to show everyone who the boss is.
I could absolutely see Miller as the guy that goes around telling everyone how much he hates drama.

Related: The only people I've ever heard say they "don't like drama" are by far the biggest sources of it.

Normal people feel absolutely no need to comment on the topic because they're never anywhere near it.

Still unsure if the 3 Canada fighters were part of the supposed group chat and if it was truly staged/planned.

If it was just the US players in a group chat talking about starting fights then it shouldn't be a big deal.
It was the Americans planning to try to fight off the whistle. The Canadians involved said post game that they didn't know it was happening but they loved it.
 
Yes because historically exhibition games commonly start off with 3 fights in 9 seconds. Riiiight. Sorry you're not seeing the publicity stunt for what it was. Worked like a charm though.
lol didnt you claim these games would have no intensity since they were exhibition games? now you're saying the intensity is because they were exhibition games? make up your mind dude

Hockey gods: you shall be punished!

Tkachuks: create group chat, proceed to stage fight, get hurt, m.tkachuk decides to dress scratching a healthy kyle Connor and can’t play”

Hockey Gods: hold my beer
