If the Vancouver Canucks are feeling the pressure of the Stanley Cup Playoffs, J.T. Miller isn’t showing it.
The Canucks star pranked rookie goalie Arturs Silovs at practice in Nashville today, wearing the 23-year-old Latvian’s pink dress shirt at practice according to Sportsnet’s Dan Murphy.

“I knew it was coming. It looked good on him,” Silovs told reporters in Nashville after practice.
It appears the Canucks netminder was getting some flack for the shirt from his teammates.
“He’s gotta know better,” said defenceman Nikita Zadorov. “He’s not in a nightclub in Riga, Latvia.”
Head coach Rick Tocchet approved of Miller’s move.
“That’s good. Loosen the guys [up],” said the Canucks coach. “This is high pressure, and you have to stay loose. Even on the bench, you gotta make sure that you stay loose because the last thing you need is a tight bench.”
It’s the second fashion prank orchestrated by Miller in less than a month. Back on April 8, Miller got all his Canucks teammates to wear custom Conor Garland 400th NHL game T-shirts.
Miller’s move should help keep the mood light as the Canucks face their most important game of the season on Friday. With a 3-2 series lead, Vancouver needs a win to avoid facing a must-win Game 7 on Sunday.
