Ellerby is definitely no fighter, and is big enough and strong enough to stand his ground i guess, so it'll be interesting to see if he plays with a deliberate target on his back as a somewhat distraction, or if he decides to get it over with opening faceoff & then play some hockey.
He's a seasoned veteran - he knows the code and he knows what's expected of him, but he may choose to be clever and use that to his advantage.
