It's fair to say the Canucks' locker room drama has become a full-blown soap opera in Vancouver, captivating fans and fueling endless media speculation.
While Miller is right to point out that the media has played a significant role in fanning the flames, it's also fair to say the Canucks organization and the players themselves haven't done much to put out the fire.
Both Miller and Pettersson have remained guarded, which has only added fuel to the speculation.
A simple act of unity-like Miller suggested, appearing together in an interview or showing some camaraderie-could do wonders in quieting the noise.
Fans and media alike are hungry for any sign that the two stars are on the same page. Until that happens, the tension-real or perceived-will continue to overshadow the Canucks' performance on the ice.
For now, the saga rages on, leaving fans wondering if the drama will ever truly die down or if it will remain a distraction in a season with so much potential.
