Miller took to practice in Nashville on Thursday wearing a flashy pink and paisley designed dress shirt. Silovs shirt, we later learned.

Well, the hilarity that ensued was a chance to chuckle before Friday’s game 6 in Nashville.
See what Silovs (“It looks good on him”) had to say, along with the team’s most fashionable player Nikita (“He’s gotta know better”) Zadorov’s reaction.

So JT Miller took to the ice wearing Artur Silov’s dress shirt. It’s a peach/salmon paisley type of thing. Silovs was a little surprised to see it being used as a practice jersey. #canucks pic.twitter.com/W7vowBFa10

Silovs was a good sport. “I guess they like it so much they wanted to bring it on the ice,” he laughed.

Following practice, Zadorov ducked any responsibility for the prank but couldn’t help express his opinion on the shirt, saying the young goalie should know better, and reminded Silovs that he’s not in a Latvian nightclub. Apparently Rick Tocchet let out an “Oof” when he saw the offending pink garment.
