  1. It's a distraction because:
    A) the top 6 isn't producing
    B) you guys in the media talk one story to death and blow it up. Hence why everyone hated Vancouver media.

  2. In interviews, Tocchet and Hughes were asked openly about the Miller vs. Pettersson fued and they denied nothing. Tocchet "Doesn't mean you need to play Playstation together." LoL. But this is out in the open now. To me it's classic Gen Z vs. Millennial cultures clashing. As a Millennial, I clash with Gen Z work ethic at work all the time.

  3. Thanks for this objective analysis, Jeff. I agree with your summation of ultimately which player to keep if a trade/change becomes necessary and the fact that there aren't too many teams where every player always sees eye to eye. While the Petterson/Miller feud is uncomfortable and divisive for fans as well, really a true fan's heart ultimately bleeds for the "team" over the players involved in the drama itself.

    As a longtime fan, I was very excited about this hockey season believing the Canucks had turned a corner and were becoming competitive again. It bothers me when I hear a player complain about how difficult the Vancouver market is to play in. What they don't realize is how much joy and elation they would bring to this passionate hockey city- and subsequently be celebrated for it for the rest of their lives- if they somehow managed to bring a Stanley Cup to this city and province. While a Stanley Cup would certainly be nice, fans simply expect a consistent and competitive effort each and every game. As a fan, I can deal with a loss if I know my team played their best game; however, for a wide variety of reasons we have not seen that so far this season. Fingers crossed they get it all sorted out soon! Go Canucks!

  4. Tocchet mentioned the fued is normal even during the time he won Cups with another team. I think they just need to communicate and work things out. Play for the crest on the front and not the name on the back. If they can't do that, then start asking them to give them a trade list.

  5. Just say maybe this isn’t the Stanley Cup. Trade Miller and get futures for next year.

  6. Trade Miller. You’re dealing with mental illness here. Let another team deal with the problem. Get the Stanley Cup next year.

  7. trading Miller or Pettersson will have secondary consequences. Who ever gets traded…the OTHER guy who stays in Vancouver, will be viewed as the reason why the other guy got traded, and there will be resentment. its an ugly situation either way

  8. Ep40 tells Swedish media he wants to play for a winner and could leave Vancouver if it stays the same, Ep40 signs a 7 mill bridge deal and then quits playing and starts to slump and it takes a coach change and Bruce to get him going again. Ep40 signs 11.6 contract and starts slumping yet again, fans start chanting lets go Petey to try get him playing in the playoffs. stand offish vs media…he has 18 points in 33 games and gets paid 11.6? all i see is spoiled kid who doesn't produce when it counts and goes all out in contract years to get paid. that's not a team first guy that's a me first guy

  9. The hypocrisy by Sportsnet to let this great guy go, a company that makes more money promoting (the arguably morally corrupt and certainly at least partly destructive / addictive disease of) gambling than from any other advertising stream, for POSSIBLY "doing his job REPORTING", thus POSSIBLY influencing gambling sites' gains or losses, is laughable, at least, and horrible in its consequences, at worst (assuming Mr. Marek didn't get a fair buy-out of his contract, thus a loss of livelihood). Their loss, Nation Network's gain, I guess. I hope Jeff is being fairly compensated here! One of the best out there!
