Hi guys again,

 

I was just watching on youtube the summary of the TOP 10 moments of my favourite hockey player Sidney Crosby. During the summary of his fifth best moment the commentator announced.....

 

....Ladies and gentleman Elvis has just left the building...Sidney Crosby...

 

...:-)..What does it mean? ....Elvis has just left the building = Even Elvis Presley is staring how good he is, so he just left the building???

 

Here is the video, that moment is at 1:31

 

 

Thanks in advance, I'm just curious...:-)

 

Best Regards

 

JCD

You've stumbled onto quite a interesting bit of American pop culture. Try this Wikipedia article for the full scoop. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elvis_has_left_the_building


Note in particular this tidbit from the article: Pittsburgh Penguins announcer Mike Lange says "Ladies and Gentlemen, Elvis has just left the building" when the team has wrapped up a win.

Essentially, "we may as well all leave.  Nothing left to hang around for."

(We've already seen it all.)
