People are making up shit about Miller, the comments are unforgivable and very disturbing, he deserves respect and time to work through whatever maybe going on, let’s give him the privacy he needs 💙💚
Question. If it's about that, why make it so formal? Couldn't he be out day to day or possibly put in IR. There were already some nagging injuries from preseason. In this market, it will lead to all kinds of speculation, good or bad.
I appreciate it's probably not an "injury" but could have spun it that way. They are vague enough about injuries as it is. If it's truly just the need for a mental reset, day to day with upper body injury could have sufficed and not caused such a stir.
I think this is something that might be beneficial for a lot of guys - I know it’s an unpopular opinion & you’ll get the “they’re millionaires playing a game! Suck it up!!” Low IQ responses - but the season is a grind in ways most of us can’t understand - a mental/physical break is prob good IMO
I don’t think we should speculate what it is or isn’t or how serious it is, but I agree 100% that being wealthy doesn’t diminish the impact of what he’s going through for he and his family. Sending positive wishes and healing.
JT has daughters and a wife at home, yes hockey is his job, but there's more to life then work. I hope whatever battles he's going through, he comes out on top and can come back to us reset and recharged.
also he needs to heal his shoulder if he wants to lift the cup
I’m speaking in general as to someone who might say it about a pro athlete who may be taking time away for a mental reset - I haven’t seen it in this scenario but it not out of the norm for that sentiment to exist - saw someone say Boeser quit on the team bc of the 🩸 clot 🙄 fans are wild sometimes
Agreed that Canucks fans can be wild sometimes. I hope no one is acting crappy about JT and his situation. Regardless, I think your original assessment is fair and hopefully understood by everyone
Lots of people are acting crappy, tons of rumours floating around. I just hope the guy can get his mental health on back on track. These guys are usually pretty tough, can’t imagine how hard it would be to step back from something you love and the entire world is watching you.
Think people are just confused. That statement makes it looks like something serious has happened to his personal life. If he needed a mental break (which is fine) just say he’s day to day with an injury and all this is voided. My guess is there are protecting Tocchet who down played his injury.
Completely agree. I work in a high pressure but well compensated industry and I need to step back every now and again. And that’s without thousands of fans watching my every move, the pressure is immeasurably higher for him.
Curious to see how the team plays tonight. I am thinking we better come out and play hard for JT. Have been eyeballing and aisle seat on ticket master so I just might walk over and watch the game in person. Get well JT and go Canucks Go...

Love JT but would all NHL players who requested this be afforded such courtesy from management?
Hopefully it’s not more than this but seems unlikely
Hockey is secondary JT.
Full power down and reset from as fresh as can be.
