Patrik Elias Appreciation Thread

[manilaNJ]

Marty, Patty, Dano... big hugs. Real big hugs for you.
Stuck with a team and were the backbone to many championships. Just the tops, those guys.

Patty Elias is a fine hockey player and gentlemen. I feel honored to have watched him play his career in a Devils sweater.

 

[Classic Devil]

Yeah, I need an Elias jersey.

 

[Saugus]

I need one too, because suddenly the one I got to replace my Parise sweater is no longer useful. Patty better be in the Hall of Fame.

 

[ThePSEGPowerPoster]

I need an Elias jersey as well.

Thank you, Patty.

 

[DevilChuk*]

Yeah, I need an Elias jersey.

I have a Parise jersey (coincidentally bought the day of Kovalchuk's press conference).

I tried bringing it to a game this year to get it changed to a Kovalchuk but didn't realize I'd have to take the nameplate off myself.

Was going to bring it to the draft and change it to a Kovalchuk then.. but forgot.

At least I'll have a nice looking Elias jersey now

Kinda too scared to even consider getting a Henrique.

 

[Emperoreddy]

The lesson here is after a Marty jersey we all should of been investing in Elias jerseys and not all these other players. For SHAME on all of us.

 

[Oneiro]

We're really at the end of an era.

Only Patty left standing.

 

[Bleedred]

Can we just clone Patty? That replaces most of Kovalchuk right there.

 

[MasterofGrond]

Yeah, I need an Elias jersey.

Love mine, especially because it's signed.

I have 2 (formerly 3)

The only Kovy jersey I have was free. And won from a dumb bet made by a Minnesota Wild fan. Perhaps I go rub in how much money he wasted again.... might make me feel better.

"Patty's Better" this year? incorrect, but appropriate

Patty is better because he just is for being Patty.

Like when we do Marty's better...it is for the whole body of work now.

Clone Zubrus a couple times too. I've always wanted a bottom 6 of Zubri.

Another Zubrus or Elias would make us much better. I'm talking an exact clone though, no poor mans replacement like Matteau or Boucher.

I'm kinda intrigued by Boucher now though. I'm warming up to the idea of him playing in the NHL. Better than the insanity that is trying Tedenby too many times hoping for a different result.

I don't want to rush Boucher. I'd rather see if he can tear up the AHL first.

 

[NICO NICO PANIC]

Thanks for being a great soldier, Patty. Wish they made 'em all like you.

 

[Bleedred]

I don't wanna either. I just wanna be able to ice the best lineup as possible, and I'm not sure what our options are if we don't make one more signing of Jagr, Grabo, Brunner.

Trying Tedenby out has become insanity. Of course just making a signing of one of those guys will be the best option if possible.

I have Schneider in mind here. If we are uncompetitive for 2 years then no way he wants to re sign.

 

[Game Breaker]

Good thing I didn't send my Parise jersey to get fixed yet. Not i have to send 3 (Kovalduck, Parise, 2000 all-star to make Marty)

The only jerseys I own are still my Rafalski and my team USA Martin. I'll never wear the Martin again, but I think enough time has passed that I can wear Rafalski again.

The guys that do name plate changes must be ecstatic. Must be hilarious to see name plates flood in after something like this.

Glad I got my Elias jersey, and his captain jersey to boot.. Maybe he should have been our captain all along

I think in a lot of ways he has been, the C's just been invisible.

It was just yesterday you complimented my Kovalsuck shirt, but warned it was a little risky. Who knew it would have been because of these circumstances.

He should have been and should be. **** Sutter, that guy quit on the team to go home too.
