??? Elvis has just left the building ???..:)

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

Essentially, "we may as well all leave. Nothing left to hang around for."
(We've already seen it all.)
