‘The chemistry simply isn’t there’: Lalji on the Miller-Pettersson rift



Reports came out of Vancouver this weekend of a growing rift between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller with both players downplaying the issue between them. TSN Canucks reporter Farhan Lalji joins SC with Jay Onrait to share how he sees the situation.

  1. Fake news. They don't play on the same line and have done fine on the pp historically. Their repent individual struggles are not related to each other…

  2. Wait, so these 2 CENTERS can't play well on the same line? How dumb of a statement are you guys making here? Might be time to hang up the mic, boys! 😂

  3. This is just sad journalism. TSN has already been lacking but now y’all just embarrassing. Shite journalism like this is blowing this all out of proportion. NOTHING happened between them recently to make this a story, but someone on a podcast mentioned it and all these desperate outlets fuel this none sense story. This came out of nowhere. Y’all just creating shit. Embarrassing journalism.

  4. The media creation that Tocchet and Hughes have said is a thing they need to work on. Lol. That Boudreau admitted was a thing before he even came here too. But hey, clearly it's fake.

  5. How can the chemistry be there when they are "together or apart". There is chemistry when they aren't on the same ice?

  6. why is petey still skinny can one of these reporters ask him or management that? like his skating not good enough to be a skinny shitter….its not rocket science.

  7. Now if ever it's time to look at the head coach? He clearly can't get these players to perform! Rick Tocchet should be questioned as head coach! Even though many will object. Even because he was voted coach of the year. I think and I mean I DON'T THINK he fits this team.

  8. Problems with the Canucks go beyond just the EP40-Miller rift, with a thin blueline beyond Quinn Hughes and Filip Hronek.

  9. Van Media has been creating stories since I was in diapers. This has happened so many times in my history as a Canucks fan I have no desire to feed into it anymore.

  10. OMG, can we stop talking about this shit … There are more things the Canucks need to worry about than this BS … this is all media driven. Absolutely disgusting!

  11. Who makes up two thirds of the Lotto Line Lalji? STFU already Vancouver media, you've now successfully made yourselves the protagonist of the drama. The Truth be Damned! This is not journalism.

  12. It's strange to me that this has become a country of origin issue. The facts don't matter. Miller's behaviour historically doesn't matter. He's American and Pettersson is a "soft Swede," so some fans are taking sides on that basis. I just see what I see. One guy is a jerk to everyone and abandoned the team because he can't deal with losing, and the other guy stayed and fought through his issues. Don't quote me on this, but it sounds like a case of bullying.

  13. Will not even listen to this clickbait tsn, rather here to say (and I doubt you read comments), Farhan is one of the reporters the Canucks loathe. You can tell as soon as he asks a question. Read the room.
