Miller was asked about the incident Friday by Sportsnet, and seemed annoyed with the attention it had received.
"Well, unless it's inside our locker room, I don't think anyone's opinion really matters, to be honest with you," said Miller. "First of all, I don't even know why this is even being talked about. Maybe I shouldn't have done what I did. It's not out of anger, I was just letting him know to go to the bench, I had full control of the puck. That's all it was."
Miller said he realizes it looked "optically, not good." But, again he insisted he doesn't care about anyone else's opinion on it. When asked if he had a chance to talk to Delia about it, Miller said that was none of anyone's business, and left it at that.
"The only reason there's noise is because you guys are asking me questions about it," Miller continued. "Like, I don't care about this at all."
