Montreal Patriotes star centre Emil Karlsson prides himself on his calm demeanour and measured approach to everything that he does. However, that all goes out of the window as soon as he is sent to the penalty box by the referees. Emil is frequently seen to be visibly outraged any time he is taken off the ice, shouting and swearing and making a commotion that often grabs the attention of the fans and the cameras. He has been warned many times by the league and the team about his behaviour and has even been accused of bringing the game into disrepute through his wild and unhinged actions, but nothing seems to have any effect in terms of calming him down. Given that he is a star player and household name in the world of hockey, the league lacks the teeth to really bring a punishment down on him for it but he's certainly a provocative and volatile character as soon as he gets any hint of a call going against him and him having to trudge his way to the penalty box.
