Former Vancouver Canucks Captain Bo Horvat Chimes in on the Elias Pettersson Vs. J.T. Miller Saga
No that it has been confirmed by the team, former teammates like Brad Richardson are even coming out to give their perspective.
With that all being said, you think the chatter would start to die down, but, that isnot how the media does business.
The Vancouver media talked to former Vancouver Canucks captain Bo Horvat today in order to get his side of the story.
But, as a true professional, he did not add any more fuel to the already high burning fire, he decided to mention the difficulties of playing in a major market like Vancouver, and how when stories like these occur, it can get blown out of proportion.
'It's definitely [been blown out of proportions]," Horvat told The Hockey News on Thursday morning. "It's always a tough market that way. Any little piece of information gets magnified in those situations, right? But I mean, that comes with the territory. It comes with playing there.
"The fans are passionate about their team. It's basically the only huge sports team besides the BC Lions and the White Caps. That's what Vancouver is all about, is the Canucks. So every little thing that's going on in that dressing room or going on with the team, it's gonna get magnified, for sure, and that just comes with playing there."

Horvat continued: "Unfortunately, you're gonna be on both sides of it, right? It's not always gonna be sunshine and rainbows. There's not always gonna be good things said. It's gotta be a tricky situation. It's gotta be tough. But if any two guys, or if anybody can handle it, those guys can."

"Miller and I got along great. There's gonna be times when you're gonna cuss each other out. There's gonna be times when you're not gonna like somebody, but at the same time, you respect everybody," Horvat said. "You're all friends in there, you're all teammates, and you're all fighting towards the same goal. Are you gonna get along all the time? No, but at the same time, he and I had a good relationship. Same with me and Petey"
