Alexei Emelin is sneaky the least-likeable Canadien.
He's prone to cheap plays and sell-out hits, but never seems to answer the bell when people come calling.
His built-in excuse is that he can't fight due to having a plate in his head, but at least one player doesn't seem to care: former Bruin Shawn Thornton.
Thornton went off on Emelin after last night's loss in Montreal. Why? Emelin delivered a cheapshot to the head of Panthers captain Derek MacKenzie, then dropped to the ice and turtled when Thornton came calling.
After the game, Thornton went off.
