Confirmed with Link: Patrik Elias Announces Retirement

[Colin226]

26 is my favorite number and Patty was my favorite Devil growing up. I'm so glad they are retiring his number.

Noooooooooooooo

 

[Devils090]

Most underrated player of all time, can't wait to see 26 get raised

 

[tr83]

Epic sad.

I wish he would have played one more game for a few curtain calls.

 

[Patrik26]

Although it wasn't official until today, this a couple of weeks back at a Devils Alumni game was all I needed to know. My favorite Devil EVER, #26.

Also, for the locals ... Patty will be playing in the Boomer & Carton Mikey Strong charity game on April 21 at Prudential. Patty was interviewed this morning on their morning radio show and confirmed he was playing.

Congratulations on a truly legendary career Patty.

4/8 tickets have been purchased.

The goal he scored in game 5 of the SCF in 2001 against the Avalanche still stands out as my favorite he scored. Just how fast he and Sykora were on that 2 on 1 and his finish, I really thought we were going back to back.

And if we had, he would have won the Conn Smythe.

Let's talk about his memorable goals, assists, quotes, etc


I'll start, Game-7 in Philly 2000, so clutch.

 

[R8Devs]

Favorite player of all time. Glad that he played all his games in a devil uniform

[Better Call Sal]

Memorable assists you say?

 

[NJDevils#4]

One of the greats. His dish to Arnott will remain with me forever. Hell of a player.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

Congrats to Patty. Sorry he couldn't he go out under better circumstances. Like to see him get a shot at the Hall of Fame. An excellent player and all-around good guy. Thanks for the memories!!

 

[Darkauron]

Going to miss Patty so much. Hopefully he sticks around with the organization in some form. Patty is one of the biggest reason's I became a devils fan.

 

[britdevil]

Where do you even start?

Absolute legend.

 

[NorwegianDevil]

youre beautiful, its true........

 

[Patrik26]

One of the greats. His dish to Arnott will remain with me forever. Hell of a player.

Amen to that.

 

[Nocashstyle]

What a career. I hope the turnout is good for these games despite the on
ice product

 

[JK3]

Congrats and thanks Pattty on a fantastic career! Absolute legend of a Devil, gonna miss ya.

 

[New Jersey]

Reminiscing about the times when everybody on here used to be like, "I doubt he'll even get a thousand points. He's borderline for number retirement, let alone the Hall of Fame."



I will never forget the roar and ensuing goosebumps when he scored that goal in the dying seconds against the Leafs in last year's finale.

Godspeed, Saint Patrik.

 

[Devils Dominion]

Hopefully the Devils Dens are stocked with a lot of #26 t-shirts & other Patty merchandise on Saturday.

 

[New Jersey]

It's not even a question what jersey I'm wearing at Wells Fargo tomorrow night.
