The New York Rangers take on the Vancouver Canucks and Elias Pettersson tonight. In Rogers Arena. In that arena sit the remnants of past feuds, which led to a trade of J.T. Miller back to the team that drafted him, the Blueshirts. Ahead of the game tonight, he issued a statement on the matchup.
While we shouldn't expect anger to flare up, we should expect some tenacity on the ice. The Rangers are 3-5-2, and 3-1-1 on the road.

It may be unfair to characterize the fallout between Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller as such, but what happened was a travesty in the locker room.
Tensions would boil over, and Patrik Allvin would trade Miller to the Rangers for a package of Victor Mancini, Filip Chytil, and a 1st-round pick.
Ahead of tonights game at 10 P.M. in Rogers Arena, Miller made his feelings known on the topic:
J.T. Miller Issues Statement Ahead of the New York Rangers Game
The New York Rangers will have a purpose going into the Canucks home arena tonight.
That is to pull off a win. For Miller, it is a somber return to a place he once viewed in a positive manner. However, for the center, the toothpaste can't be put back in the tube, as the mess would spill everywhere, causing a chain reaction of moves to happen.
He was a superstar in Vancouver, and won't forget what he accomplished there, including his 100+ point season.
As time goes on, people change, and now he'll be heading back to Vancouver with the team that drafted himas a leader, and one key player who could take the Rangers into the win column, should he will it so.
