1. april 2011 / PATRIK ELIAS HAD TO WAIT FOR THE HATS AFTER BIG NIGHT FOR DEVILS
For a few moments, not a single hat floated down from the sellout crowd onto the Prudential Center ice.
Patrik Elias had scored his first hat trick since April 5, 2006, in Pittsburgh, but no one seemed to realize it. The puck deflected off the inside of his right skate with 2:46 remaining, but it appeared to many as if it might have gone off a Flyers defenseman.
