Elliotte Friedman forbidden from talking about Vancouver Canucks for one month
Apparently, the rift has grown so toxic that the pair refuse to even play on the same line. Although JT Miller and Elias Pettersson deny the drama, it's clearly visible.
According to Maverick Mitchell of Canucks Daily, regardless if all the rumors are true, one fact remains is that the hockey media has really propelled the narrative to a point that is making it look beyond repair, and one of the main culprits is Elliotte Friedman.
Ever since JT Miller took his personal leave of absence, Elliotte Friedman has been publicly stating wild trade pitch ideas, in addition to throwing fuel to the fire regarding the tension between the Canucks star players.
It may not be Friedman's intention to cause drama, but the reality is, it is having a major effect.
Now, Sportsnet and the managers of the '32 Thoughts Podcast' has decided to revoke certain liberties, suspending Elliotte Friedman from talking and tweeting about the Vancouver Canucks for an entire month.
The Department of 32 Thoughts suspends Elliotte Friedman one month till January 23rd from discussing any matter related to the Vancouver Canucks.
While Elliotte Friedman can still discuss other NHL topics, he's been stricly prohibited from reporting anything related to the Vancouver Canucks -- a restriction that's undoubtedly humiliating.
