What's full strength? It's been so long.

What's avs forward lines look like at full strength?

Something like:

Drouin - MacKinnon - Rantanen
Lehkonen - Mittelstadt - Nichushkin
Landeskog - Colton - O’Connor
Wood - Kelly - Kovalenko
Ivan/Kiviranta

Any guess at the 2 pp lines?

Nichushkin
MacKinnon - Drouin - Rantanen
Makar

Lehkonen
Malinski - Colton - Mittelstadt
Toews​

This is without Landeskog. Nobody knows what to expect with Landy, he could be no more than a 3rd liner or he could be in his usual PP1 spot. Who knows.

 

[Avs91]

My feeling on Landy at this point is he will come in for 1-2 rounds of the playoffs if the Avs get deep, go full Swedish beast mode, and LITRetire.

Same. Even one or two shifts.

This is where I'm at but I think it'll be like 2-3 games worth of like 5 minutes ice time.

He did more than that with a knee that was likely worse than it is now. If he decides to lay it out in the Playoffs again I hope we are prepared to make the most of it.

If Landy ever gets that knee fixed and stabilized and can skate without issues, he will get his game back quickly when he returns. He was never a fast skater like MacK, so as long as that knee holds up, his skating game should be fine. His hands will be the same, net front presence etc….that’s not going anywhere. He just needs that knee to hold up

He's also as elite of an athlete as it gets. Foppa looked legit every time he touched the ice when trying to return. I think Landeskog has very high standards for himself.

I agree, if the knee holds up he'll be able to do what made him valuable on and off the ice.

Yeah, if someone like Nate or Cale had that knee surgery, you would worry about how their game be like when they came back because a lot of their success is based on their skating, but not for Landy

I wouldn't worry about Nate either really. Nuke said seeing how hard Mack works made him completely reevaluate his own training, and attributed that lesson to his own improvement.

Should we be worried that Nate likes the white powder too?

No just impressed Nuke needed it to survive that pace lol. Thankfully it's easier to maintain a level than gain it.

I think Nate’s white powder is chick pea and whey protein.

 

[CobraAcesS]

I think sweet potatoes were in there somewhere too.

Can confirm whey protein is legit. Shits f***ing crazy.

Man I hope so but I just don't see it unfortunately.

Not gonna happen obviously, but could you imagine if all 4 of these guys came back the exact same game?


It does feel like there's a chance all 3 of Wood/Drouin/Nuke return by Friday though. Although quite frankly I'm not convinced Wood is an upgrade at this point. I guess maybe over Tynan/Wagner he would be but at the same time Drouin/Nuke would take those two out. I'd honestly rather Prisch/Ivan over Wood at this stage.

Gabe back on the ice. Looks ready to go!

His movements in general look pretty ginger from today. Sad to say, bro isn’t coming back this season. Time to spend his cap money and let him take a few shifts in the playoffs before moving him to a front office position.
