Following his recent appearance on Barn Burner, Darren Dreger has fanned the flames of the Vancouver Canucks controversy by giving listeners an inside look.

There is no denying that the Vancouver Canucks are a shell of their former selves amidst the high tensions between dominant forwards J.T. Miller and Elias Pettersson.

The Canucks have failed to maintain a playoff spot after losing seventy-five percent of their games his January, only making matters behind the scenes worse.

As a result of diminishing results, Vancouver head coach Rick Tocchet has had to reduce J.T. Miller's ice time and spread to a four-line strategy.

Recently, the flames of this controversy started burning even hotter thanks to the inside look provided by TSN NHL Insider Darren Dreger.

On the latest Barn Burner, Darren Dreger updated fans on the Vancouver Canucks locker room situation, sharing the vibes are much like those that existed with the Winnipeg Jets when Blake Wheeler was the kingpin.

Dreger continued, describing that this issue has become more than just about Pettersson and Miller, but that this division creates cliques that ultimately pull a whole team apart at the seams.

While this insight could be informative, Vancouver fans can only be more upset at how devastating the impact of a two-player feud has had on their season.

With ample time before the trade deadline, the Canucks should be able cut their losses on of these players this season.

However, with the Edmonton Oilers next on the schedule, it could be tricky for Vancouver to regain its footing ahead of time.
