J.T. Miller Takes Indefinite Leave from Canucks

[SuperMatt18]

Are the Canucks the most dramatic 9-5-3 team we've ever seen.

Demko seemed to have some issues with how exactly his injury had been handled and his relationship with the goalie coach.

Pettersson has had issues all season it seems with the coach.

Miller now on a leave after being benched recently (whether it's related or not seems to be unknown).

As someone who has gone on a mental health/burn short term leave at work, good on Miller and Canucks for taking this as seriously as it is.

Now all of that being said, it's wild how much last year raised up the expectations for this squad considering their record so far, without their starting goalie.

[Blaster86]

Starting goalie, key player to their bottom six, then a top line winger and now their top center. All this with Petersson playing awful.

Their record at home and vs .500 or better teams is concerning, but their record is altogether not bad.

They're 3rd in the division with the number of games played!

If you need a break, take one. At the end of the day, your job is not that important in the grand scheme of things.

Obviously, your problem at work is that you don't have an abusive old-school coach to scream at you until your performance improves.

The Oilers and Canucks being mediocre this year just feels right.

I still can't get over that Miller chant. Canucks fans are terrible.

JT reached out to Rooney so he's alright. Hope he sorts things out. Getting away from Van should help.

I learned that the hard way once or twice. Totally agree.

Miller is one of the top power forwards in the league. Big loss for the canucks.

As long as the Canucks can tread water until Miller, Demko, and Boeser return, they should be fine.

Nobody here cares if they’re fine. I hope Miller is fine as a human being, and I hope they lose every game from now until the end of the season. You can do both.
