J.T Miller Makes his Feelings Known on Facing Former Vancouver Teammates at the Four Nations
Former Vancouver Canucks forward JT Miller spoke about facing his former teammates at the Four Nations tournament.
It is no secret that JT Miller and Elias Pettersson do not like each other.
It was the feud between the two centers that eventually lead the Canucks to trade Miller back to the New York Rangers.
Since then, the Canucks remain mired in drama, with several players reportedly upset with the way Miller was traded.
Understandably, fans remain interested in this drama, which is entering a new phase this week.
Miller and Pettersson will both be representing their countries in the Four Nations tournament in Montreal and Boston over the next two weeks.
As such, Miller was asked about the feud with Pettersson and what his thoughts are about facing him in the tournament.
He seemed to downplay the significance of everything, saying all of this is just drama stirred up and overblown by the media.
"It's definitely something that [the media builds] up for sure. I'm sure it's more exciting for you guys, but it's just another game for us. It's been a busy year in my world and [this tournament] is a great opportunity for me to get away for a second, be with a different group, a different scene."
Miller also spoke about what it was like to return to the Rangers, the team that originally drafted him all the way back in 2011.
"The welcome I got coming back was astounding. So much support for my family and I just feel crazy lucky that everything played out the way it did."
The United States and Sweden will not play each other until Monday, February 17th in Boston.
The two teams could potentially face each other again on Wednesday the 20th for the Championship game, but we will have to see how the rest of the tournament plays out first.
Expect both Miller and Pettersson to be at the top of their games as they look to one-up each other in the tournament.
