Confirmed with Link: Patrik Elias Announces Retirement

[severian]

Vegas game will be packed because it's Vegas. Bobbleheads don't move the needle.

But back to tonight, I think Patty will be very emotional.

It's also going to be packed since it's the only quasi-matinee outside of opening day.

Yeah they weren't going to make Brylin miss the Elias ceremony for a meaningless play out the string Bingo game.

That's awesome news.

I don't know why people thought tickets wouldn't remain high. This is realistically our last retirement banner ceremony for the next 10-15 years if not longer.

Unless we retire something for Lou or Dr. McMullin, this will most likely be the last for 20+.

They already did the ring of honor ceremony for Dr. McMullen, I could see them doing the same for Lou at some point but I don't expect a banner especially cause Lou seems like the type who wouldn't want it.

TM just dropped some lower level pairs, not many though @ $116/seat.

It's weird to me that the new equipment guys hang the jerseys like that, I really don't get it. I've never seen it anywhere else.

No patches whatsoever in the stores inside. Amazing that this team never orders enough of anything. It's like they hate making money.

But but collectors itemss!! Im sure they will sell a small amount or something online at a higher markup with "limited" quantities.

All they had to do was add a few tables throughout the concourses selling just Elias stuff. I don't enjoy complaining but they make everything so much more difficult then it should be.

Idk, selling patty retirement night soda cups for $7.50 seems pretty money grubbing

They sell souvenir soda cups all year long though, those they will probably have for the rest of the season lol

 

[Devils Dominion]

Clubs are half empty.

Just hopping into the thread, but have we talked about they can't even spell his name right on MSG?

I was at JR Cigar bar too n Parsippany about 30 minutes ago and nearly every single person was talking about Elias retirement night. Was awesome being surrounded by Devils fans in my Homeland of North Jersey.

No I live about an hour south. I'm from Paterson, went to HS in Wayne... I've lived down here for the last 20 years but still consider myself a North Jersey boy.

 

[Better Call Sal]

Don't know if anyone else saw this, they did a behind the scenes leading up to his last lap from last year. Pretty nice to watch.

 

[Maine Fan]

Very nice night for Patty. Very classy.

 

[glenwo2]

LOVED IT!

From beginning to end, Harris and company spared no expense in making sure this night was unforgettable.

KUDOS to that wild and crazy drunk-off-his-ass rich dude!!

Every Devils fan must read it. My favorite excerpt pertains to Daneyko in practice:

Dano would come down for a slapshot on Marty Brodeur, and he’d be screaming out, with his booming viking voice, “Innnnnccccoooooommmmiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnggggg!”

And then he'd whiff, fall down, and say "I meant to do that!"
