Emilia Hartley built her career on saying the things hockey fans didn't want to hear.
Sharp-tongued, ambitious, and permanently one headline away from getting canceled, the senior correspondent for The Puck Drop has made a name for herself tearing apart the NHL's golden boys. And no one irritates her more than William Nylander.
