Drama surfaces in the USA locker room ahead of Championship game involving Rangers forward

Do hockey players like making the news and getting their name out in the media? Of course. For a family that thrived on nepotism, Matthew and Brady Tkachuk have gained large amounts of fanfare in their career.

Particularly, for Matthew who had won a Stanley Cup last season as he and the Panthers deftly beat the Edmonton Oilers.

The chaos would ensue, as the Panthers won their first cup, and brother Brady has notoriety for being Captain of the Ottawa Senators.

Brady, unlike Brother Matthew, hasn't won much in the bigger picture.

But they did make a name for themselves when they would instigate a tilt with members of Team Canada, and Rangers forward JT Miller was included in the group chat.

With that information leaked, it seems they haven't made a friend in Miller, who since the incident in Vancouver prefers privacy and peace of mind.

Something he can't even find in Team USA's locker room.

Miller who has kept silent about the situation with Elias Pettersson has kept his lips tight about the ordeal since he's arrived in New York.

He's put on a show on Broadway and has become the team's top-line center, and a dependable forward.

Now, with the Tkachuk brothers relishing the spotlight it seems all is not well in Team USA's locker room.

Could this spill over into the regular season?

Could this turn the Panthers and Rangers rivalry into something bigger, and with even more hatred expressed on the ice?

It remains to be seen, but at this point, it seems difficult for the "Bash Brothers" to regain Miller's trust ever again.
