Patrik Elias on the Trap Era, Secret Soccer Injuries & Lou's Hotel Lockdown | ONE-TIME ALL STARS

In this episode of One-Time All Stars, Cory Schneider and Brian Boyle sit down with New Jersey Devils legend Patrik Elias. Joining the boys all the way from Prague, Patty catches everyone up on his transition to management with Slavia Praha. Elias opens up about the reality of aging out of the NHL, dealing with knee injuries, and learning to accept a reduced role. He also reveals a hilarious secret from his early playing days: he once broke his pinky in an exhibition soccer match and lied to his Kladno coaches, blaming the injury on moving furniture! Plus, Boyle accuses Patty of causing his sports hernia with a massive hit, Patty defends the "clutch and grab" trap era, and the guys trade memories about surviving Lou Lamoriello's grueling two-month playoff hotel lockdown. Finally, Cory and Patty relive the freezing cold 2014 Stadium Series game at Yankee Stadium. In this episode: • Patty’s post-playing career in Czechia.
