"But Miller, as always, was more dialed into the game. Honestly, no, Miller said after the game when asked if he was able to soak in the moment. We had a power play, we were worried about having a good rep. Miller had lots of time to reflect. Vancouver will always be a special place for him and his family."
"The Rangers' Western Canada trip was Miller's first time in Vancouver since the Jan. 31 trade that brought him back to New York the franchise that originally drafted him 15th overall in 2011 amid a reported rift between him and Canucks center Elias Pettersson. Miller spent the Rangers' off day Monday with his family, trying to see as many people as I could. His wife and two daughters made the trip to see old friends and teammates."
J.T. Miller returned to Vancouver for the first time since being traded back to New York and received a tribute video and standing ovation despite boos during play. He saluted the crowd briefly but prioritized game focus, noting a power play and concern about team reputation. Vancouver holds significance for him and his family as the place he developed into a play-driving center, recorded a 103-point season, and experienced playoff hockey. The return followed a reported rift with Elias Pettersson. Miller spent the off day reconnecting with family, old friends and teammates ahead of an important Rangers game.
