Canucks JT MIller Keeps The Mood Light By Wearing Goalie's Dress Shirt For Practice

The Vancouver Canucks currently lead the Nashville Predators 3-2 in their opening-round series and can close things out and move on to a date with the Edmonton Oilers with a win on Friday in Music City.

Center JT Miller is doing his part to not let the gravity of Game 6 get to his teammates' heads, and he's doing it with the power of a dress shirt.

Canucks writer Iain MacIntyre spotted Miller wearing what definitely wasn't the typical practice jersey he'd normally wear.

Looks like JT Miller is playing on the Paisley dress shirt line…

Of course, Miller was trying to keep the mood light, and it turns out that he snatched a dress shirt from goaltender Artur Silov.

I'm sure that Silov appreciates Miller getting his nice dress shirt all sweaty, but it must have gotten a big laugh from the rest of the boys.

Thanks, bud…

You've got to love having a veteran like JT Miller on the team who takes it upon himself to keep the mood light and not let the pressure get to the Canucks, who are a fairly young team with limited playoff experience.

What's funny though is that this isn't even the first time that Miller had tried to harness the power of shirts to keep the mood light within the team.

Miller was the mastermind behind some commemorative t-shirts for Connor Garland's 400th NHL game.

That act of getting some screen-printed t-shirts was largely credited for helping the Canucks through a stretch late in the year in which dropped 4 out of 6 games and nearly cost them the top spot in the Pacific Division.

We'll see if Miller can work some more shirt magic when they hit the ice at Bridgestone Arena. The last time the Canucks skated on that sheet of ice they pulled off one of the most incredible comebacks of the postseason.
