Um, no I think that's more accurately Nuke's first game back. Especially with the humongous pile of blow behind him.

This will be interesting to see. Two totally different athletes and body types and two completely different sports, both hard on knees. I hope they both make successful returns. To me, it seems like the basketball movements would be more violent and consistently harder on the knees, but who knows, maybe they are easier than hockey movements.

I would imagine that running and pivoting on a hard court would be tougher than skating on ice for the knees. However, I think the knees can take more trauma from a collision in hockey due to the higher speed of the collision effectively increasing the acceleration portion Newton's second law: F = m * a

My knees are pretty much shot from age and roller hockey (anyone who's played roller hockey knows the shin pads are specifically designed to move out of the way as you're falling to the concrete) and I can say for sure that skating hurts the least. Anything like running, lunges, stepping/hiking, can't do for too long before I'm in agony.

Outstanding.

Good read and contemplation:

Should the Avalanche grant a temporary Captain in Gabriel Landeskog’s absence?

Should there be another captain named on the Colorado Avalanche in Gabriel Landeskog’s absence?

Why?

The guy is coming back after two years off. The time to do it would have been last season, not when the guy is coming back.

Yeah no shit, I feel like that is something Dater would write.

OH MY: Lonzo Ball is Reportedly Playing Five-on-Five!

Going to sacrifice them in a dark ritual to bring back Vikingskog fully healthy

I'm picturing a pre-camp team bonding experience sailing the Colorado River on a boat eerily similar to the ship in Event Horizon.

Lest we forget

Lest we forget

10 minutes into Game 1 of the first round, and your captain sees that shit, steps up and sets the god damned tone for the series.

This is something Gabe will be able to provide even if his skating is less than what it once was. His grit, will, determination and absolutely no shits given when someone takes advantage of a team-mate.

Honestly.... Looks like a guy who may very well be ready game 1.

I love the optimism, but he’s going half speed out there. He looks strong, stable, and in control; that’s definitely a positive sign, means he has regained some strength and has mobility / range of motion.

We need to see him go full speed, or close to it, before he’s realistically close. I’d also be surprised to see him rushed back, only get one shot at it here, and the playoffs are still well down the road.

Great to see Landy is progressing in his recovery, man would it be cool to see him come back as an effective NHL player.

You just have to put the footage at 2x speed to see how he looks in the secret underground bunker he's been practicing at for the last two years.

Maybe it's just been too long since you last saw Landy play, but that is not "half speed". He's never been particularly fast, and definitely slowed down over his career as he gained more weight and leaned into the power forward role.

I mean... Its definitely not 50%. Not 100% either, but he's pushing pretty good here. Plus like the tweet says, more important in all of this is he's doing all the turns and crossovers basically like completely normal and putting full weight into those movements. That's the really important factor here.

We're still almost 2 full months away from game 1, that's plenty of time to up the intensity from 75% to 100%.

We all said that a 75%-Landy would an upgrade to this roster. I would say he is there now going by that video and he still has some time to improve on that. I feel very optimistic about him being ready for game 1 or at least playing at 85% of what he used to be. That is huge for this team. And we are not even talking about what he brings off the ice.
