Vancouver Canucks' J.T. Miller dodges questions about his upper body injury
Vancouver Canucks' centerman J.T. Miller speaks on his injury and why he was seen going down the tunnel early in the game Vs the Philadelphia Flyers.
As fans have noticed, Vancouver Canucks superstar J.T. Miller only took the opening faceoff and one other the whole game against the Philadelphia Flyers as he seemed to have injured his upper body.
Miller went down the Canucks tunnel only 5 seconds into the game as he appeared to be holding his shoulder after taking part in a seemingly normal faceoff. To everyone's concern, he did end up returning and finishing the game, but his own comments, and head coach Rich Tocchet's after the match could be viewed as concerning.
J.T. Miller responds to injury concerns
When asked about why he rushed down the tunnel while seemingly being in pain from the opening night faceoff, he brushed it off and gave a little white lie instead of telling the media exactly what is gong on.
Miller: «I forgot my mouth guard for one shift.»
It is clear the Miller did not lose his mouthpiece, he just did not want to indulge on the rumors of being injured. Now, with his comments in combination with Rick Tocchet's, he clearly is dealing with pain and we here at Canucks Daily would not be surprised to see him sit on Tuesday against the Chicago Blackhawks.
