The New York Rangers will match up with the Vancouver Canucks on their home ice tonight. The media swirled around forward Elias Pettersson as they hoped to revive the drama of last season, which led to a trade of J.T Miller.
He nevertheless didn't acquiesce in light of the New York Rangers' 29th Captain being discussed.
The Rangers and Canucks are set to begin their latest battle on the ice tonight in Rogers Arena at 10 P.M. on ESPN+. The Blueshirts head into Vancouver lowly, in 7th place in the Metropolitan Division.
With a record of 3-5-2, they desperately need to eek out a win. In the hustle and bustle of it all, the media would ask Vancouver Canucks forward Elias Pettersson for his opinion on the past conflict with Rangers Captain JT Miller.
The flames could arise again tonight in a matchup that is a backdrop to the Rangers' losing streak.
"Honestly, we are not happy with how it went. But that's in the past. We can only learn from it. I played against him last year, too.
"I feel good. I take pride in wanting to be good in both ends. Good defence leads to good offence."
"I feel good. I take pride in wanting to be good in both ends. Good defence leads to good offence."
The Canucks under Adam Foote are 5-5-0 and 4th in the Pacific Division. Instead of stoking any more controversy between the two, he kept it strictly about the game tonight.
The Vancouver Canucks and New York Rangers: Future Rivals?
While the two teams have often been trading partners often could this be the start of something bigger between the two teams? A rivalry perhaps?
Miller went from feuding in Vancouver with Pettersson to becoming an important piece of the Rangers lineup, and now he's the 29th Captain of the organization.
With the Canucks three-game slump and Miller's emotional return to his former home, this should be an exciting game full of passion on both sides of the ice.
