they know each other for like 15 years it's a very old crush also probably influenced by tex injury

 

[Madifer]

Elvis should build some confidence based on his performance, lets see what he does against Boston next time.

Overall: good game, great responsible effort from most players.

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Anyone see what happened with Tex?

Elvis starts his own streak! Nice job!

 

[MoeBartoli]

Nice to see Wennberg interviewed - with all the dings, he looked like a hockey player.

NYR and PHI lose today too. good for CBJ

 

[Speedy Sanderson]

They played some Elvis music after the final horn....was sitting upstairs tonight and couldn't make out what song it was.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

Kivs is the backup right? Why does Kivs get the call up over V2?

Kivs looked like he was in 8th grade.

Since I was at the game I think that Elvis has finally shown what he is capable of being. I've been really high on him and its been a slow ride but this seems like a real turning point for him. The crowd was firmly behind him and you can just see the passion and energy he plays with when he gets some confidence. Let's see if he can string together a few more solid performances in a row but a game like tonight should go a very long way towards banishing the uneasiness he's displayed earlier this season. I knew if he could stop pucks that the fans would love him. I hope this is the first of many more for him.

Twitter said upper body. I just wondered if anyone had an idea what happened.

 

[CharlotteJacket]

I did my best for the cheers.

And no, there was much more cheers during the tribute video, not sure if they showed that on TV

I stream the games on NHL.com and they use the Fox Ohio feed showing the tribute and reception from the fans. Bob skated around waiving and thanking everyone.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Hey that Werenski guy is pretty good offensively. Maybe we should keep him

There was big boos in pregame when Bob was announced, then more when he touched the puck for the first time, but he got a standing O for his tribute video. He then acknowledged the crowd. Then we mostly left him alone. All in all I think we were fair to him.

 

[ReggieRed]

Ha ha. VV looks even younger.

That's what I love about these hockey players...I keep getting older and they stay the same age.
