Not that I disagree with his approach here but I need to see more results and less talk from him. Hope he rebounds in a big way.

That’s my fucking goalie 😤
Elvis had a pack of skittles and a piece of driftwood to defend in front of him last season. Let’s see how he does with a healthy Z, Provorov and Severson 🥅🚫
Yes we have heard these words before, but I’m not going to pretend to know anything about losing my best friend and having to move forward with the pressure of being an NHL goalie, while playing in front of an AHL level defense.
Elvis is a top notch human and has shown that he can be a starting-quality goalie. I’m not writing him off just yet.

I’m a big Elvis fan and hope he can turn it around, but we get a speech like this every 6 months or so lol
I feel like we have been hearing this for the past several years, and yet every year he continues to struggle.
Talking about not talking. Interesting move.

It’s the exact same thing every time.
