Former NHL player Scott Gomez was recently interviewed and asked about the Canucks locker room feud, and he shared some information on who leaked it. Rumors and hearsay soon ballooned into a full-blown saga in Vancouver, and <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/vancouver-canucks/jt-miller-responds-to-comments-from-president-jim-rutherford-on-locker-room-conflict-with-elias-pettersson' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Canucks president Jim Rutherford publicly confirmed the issue</a> with Gary Mason of the 'Globe and Mail'. <a href='https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/vancouver-canucks/latest-news/canucks-rutherford-confirms-pettersson-miller-rift-speaks-on-hughes-long-term-future-in-vancouver' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Rutherford confirmed a feud between superstar</a> forwards Elias Pettersson and J.T. Miller has fractured the locker room. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/TSN_Sports/status/1884317172383772747'> </a></blockquote></div> Trade rumor-mongering reached a fevered pace, and NHL alumnus <a href='https://x.com/andystrickland' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Andy Strickland</a> interviewed former NHLer Scott Gomez about tension in the Canucks' locker room. According to Gomez, in-fighting between teammates occurs more frequently than fans realize, but in a crazed fan base such as in Vancouver, high-profile tension is blown out of proportion in the spotlight. «Like if this is happening in Jersey, no one cares. No one cares. But in Toronto or Vancouver, these Canadian cities, say so a lot of it is just built up. Built up.» - Scott Gomez Frustration from losing games and rumor-mongering, Gomez speculates, could have encouraged a Canucks player to leak information about the feud. <h3>A player likely fed up with the tension leaked the information</h3> Perhaps a player, fed up with tension, opted to reveal the issue in an attempt to work through it, without realizing it could fuel a trading discussion for both Miller and Pettersson. «Who leaked it got out, you're the guy that you know - and a lot of times, who knows if it is someone else leaking it out, just the fact that it takes pressure off me. I haven't done anything. «As long as I get the pressure off me then yeah. The bottom line is we're losing and we're going to blame these two or you know, like some one of you guys come out and say what the hell happened? Because I am getting sick of answering the same question everyday of these two. «Maybe if there's a problem, those two guys address it and not joke about it because as the other teammates, I'm going in the room everyday in a Canadian city and I have to answer what's wrong with this team? because these two guys whatever supposedly don't like each other.» - Scott Gomez <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/andystrickland/status/1884631523510341785'> </a></blockquote></div> Optimism is in short supply for Canucks, but a winning record could change the atmosphere and grant them a new start, according to Rutherford. How much agreement comes between the two feuding players, meanwhile, will have to wait and see. With a trading deadline of March 7, everyone waits with anticipation in Vancouver.
