This past week has been a whirlwind for the Vancouver Canucks and their fans, with an announcement capping it all off on Tuesday revealing that forward JT Miller will be taking a leave of absence from the team.
Given how important Miller is to this team, it wasn't easy news to take for their fans, but for the most part, they've been highly supportive given how passionate Miller has been for Vancouver since his arrival.
However, another portion of fans on social media haven't been so kind, as Miller's wife recently deleted her social media, leading some to speculate that this had something to do with his upcoming absence.
Unsurprisingly, all of these comments were met with backlash from other fans, as they urge them to show respect for the beloved JT Miller, with reporter Rick Dhaliwal officially shutting down this ridiculous speculation.
While there may be some issues that we don't know about going on behind the scenes, right now the belief is that this is simply a mental reset for Miller after an injury-riddled year, despite playing in every Canucks game before Tuesday.
It's not expected that the veteran star will be out for the remainder of the year, so the hope is that Miller can reset and get back to 100% both mentally and physically in a matter of weeks, so hopefully this can put the awful speculation to bed.
