J.T. Miller didn't hold back during his post-practice interview on Sunday, addressing the swirling rumors about his relationship with teammate Elias Pettersson head-on.

When asked about the alleged tension between the two star players, Miller's response was blunt and cutting:

«You guys in a sense have created this thing. Am I bothered? No, you guys are just wasting your time,» he said.

Pressed further about whether he's tired of the constant chatter surrounding the situation, Miller doubled down:

«I honestly don't care. You guys can talk about it all you want. I can bring out Petey, and we can do the interview together if that will make you guys happy.»

These strong, frustrated words from Miller paint a clear picture: he's fed up. But the frustration isn't one-sided.

Just the night before, Elias Pettersson stormed out of the media scrum, visibly annoyed by the ongoing narrative.

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.
