Patrik Elias skated for the last time in a New Jersey Devils uniform on Saturday night. His Hall of Fame credentials provide an interesting argument.
It was the most emotional game of the season. A season that saw many more ups than downs. A season that ended with the team losing 20 of their final 23 games. A terrible end to a season was forgotten when number 26 hit the ice Saturday night. He took warmups. He got emotional himself when his family came out to greet him during the opening puck drop. He got the fans going one last time before he went off into the sunset.
