Rumors started circulating last week that Vancouver Canucks alternate captains J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson weren't on the same page when it came to playing together. Both players, in separate interviews, played down any possible rift between them. However, it is still very hard for the media to believe that the two stars on the Canucks roster are gelling well together.
Canucks insider Farhan Lalji, joining SC with Jay Onrait, stated that he didn't believe the pair had solved their issues. He mentioned that Captain Quinn Hughes and head coach Rick Tocchet downplaying the incident proved there were certainly some troubles they were looking to fix. He also suggested that the two players should focus on improving their game rather than claiming the rumors are entirely media-driven.
"Truly, I think this is a thing and I think it has been for the last few years in varying degrees. Now, I'm not sure anybody told Pettersson and Miller before their recent comments in the last couple of days that head coach Rick Tocchet and Captain Quinn Hughes at times earlier this week both acknowledged that, yeah, it is an issues."
