The conversation flowed with the usual mix of insights and banter, but one moment stood out, and everyone laughed.
Garland asked Desharnais what he learned about the Canucks from their playoff series last year. Desharnais didn't miss a beat. With a grin, he replied, "
J.T. Miller is an a**hole," which immediately had the group in stitches.
While it was a joke meant for good fun, it showed how Miller is perceived. Fans and opponents alike know him as the guy who always looks grumpy, playing with an edge you can't help but respect if it rubs some people the wrong way. It's no secret that Miller's fiery demeanour has been a point of discussion in Vancouver, especially during the Canucks' more brutal seasons when his attitude was questioned.
But here's the thing: J.T. Miller's rough exterior makes him so valuable to his teammates. He might not be the friendliest face on the ice, but he brings the intensity and determination that elevates everyone around him. The narrative of Miller's so-called "attitude problem" from a few years ago has essentially been put to rest, and now it's clear he's precisely the kind of player you want on your team when the going gets tough.
Here is J.T. Miller during a pre-game interview in the playoffs on the switch up of how he is viewed:
So, while Desharnais' comment had everyone laughing, it also served as a reminder of what makes Miller such an essential piece of the Canucks puzzle. He might be tough to play against, but his teammates wouldn't have it any other way.
