Sergei Kostitsyn has never been praised for his exemplary attitude.

Left side for a fifth straight game, the youngest of the brothers Kostitsyn has demonstrated his dissatisfaction with his own way.

The attacker left the morning skate Canadiens Tuesday, almost simultaneously with the regular team.

Carey Price did not really appreciate the decision of his teammate. Back in the dressing room for a new stick and get to wipe his face, Price took the time to explain his dissatisfaction Kostitsyn.

"Why are not you on the ice?" Said Price to Kostitsyn.

With no response from Belarusian, Price asked: "Did you hear my question?"

"This is none of your business," Kostitsyn replied before finally taking the path of showers.

Discouraged, Price shook his head, replying with derision: "Well, Sergei.

Price then returned to the ice along with Jaroslav Spacek and Ben Maxwell.

This scene between Price and Kostitsyn drew the attention of two journalists, one of CBC Sports and RDS, in an interview with Mathieu Darche, a neighbor of Price in the clubhouse.

In its response, Price, meanwhile, proved he now understands better the team concept.

KHL Management

Since the beginning of the series, Kostitsyn did not record a point in four games. Increasingly, the former teammate Patrick Kane and Sam Gagner with the London Knights appear to be living on borrowed time in Montreal.

It really would not be surprising to see him leave the Canadian to the end of the season in favor of the Russian Continental League (KHL).

S. Kostitsyn tallied 18 points (7 goals, 11 assists) in 47 games this season. Referred to Hamilton earlier this year, he was then called a transaction.

Good riddance. Hopefully we get rid of his equally useless brother, too.

Would work in so many ways.

Sergei would get into a fight with Grabovski and break his face, then would sulk about playing time and leave for the KHL, with Sleepy following suit.

So what do you guys think of Dustin Boyd, the guy who came back in the trade?

I think he's someone who will work hard, and play all out in game and in practice as opposed to Sergei... so I'm more than satisfied.

I'm glad someone else feels the same as I do. He's a hard working kid who can contribute at least a little on both ends of the ice, and he should get better as he gets older.

I think that the majority of Habs fans feel that way about the trade, since Sergei was more of a nuisance than a positive for the team, especially during the playoff run.
