The Drama Continues as New York Rangers Forward J.T. Miller Takes Cheap Shot at the Vancouver Canucks

Following weeks and weeks of a reported feud with Elias Pettersson, the Vancouver Canucks traded J.T. Miller to the New York Rangers, the team that drafted him 15th overall back in 2011.

Since the trade, J.T. Miller has been solid for the New York Rangers as they continue their push for a wild card spot in the Eastern Conference and has been enjoying his time back in 'The Big Apple'.

On Tuesday, J.T. Miller spoke with reporters where he said that it feels nice to be enjoying hockey once again, which is a subtle jab at his time with the Vancouver Canucks earlier this season.

While it may have been a shot at the Vancouver Canucks, it's understandable to see where J.T. Miller is coming from as it was a tough time with the B.C. club this season until his trade on January 31st.

Miller had to deal with drama off the ice, which would go on to effect how productive he was on the ice with the Canucks and since the trade, he's been able to show everyone what he's truly capable of.

In 15 games with the Rangers, the East Palestine, Ohio native has tallied 16 points (seven goals, nine assists) and 23 shots on goal.

Vancouver Canucks fans won't have to wait too long to see J.T. Miller face his former team as Rick Tocchet's group will be in New York to take on the Rangers for a matinee on March 22nd at 10 am PT.

It'll be a big game for the Vancouver Canucks as they continue their playoff push and the subplot of J.T. Miller vs Elias Pettersson will certainly be something to keep an eye on.
