Gabriel Landeskog participates in full Avs practice for first time in 995 days

  • We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.

    What This Means for You:

    • If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
    • If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
    • Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
    • Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress

    Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

Morning skate of the game 6 2022 Stanley Cup victory over Tampa Bay. The last time Gabriel Landeskog participated in a full Avs practice.

He's participated in many morning skates, shootarounds, but today, he stayed for full practice. Rotated on the top line (MacKinnon-Necas) with Lehkonen for drills. Still a ways to go, but starting to ramp up to be ready for playoff hockey in 1 month.

Love him or the Avs or hate him/them, you have to be rooting for a guy like this to come back and play the game he loves.

They can’t activate him before playoffs and be cap compliant…..

Seems like an advantage to their opponent throwing him into a playoff series for his first game in 1000 games!

Also glad to see he is healthy and his career isn’t over. Love him as a player. Great for Avs fans and him!

He is most likely to return in the playoffs, but yes, they can activate him before then.

Josh Manson is out(again) and could go on LTIR. $4.25m.

Miles Wood is constantly out of the lineup and has admitted to having a chronic back injury. Can also go on LTIR. $2.5m.

The Avs would be at over $7.5m in cap space and could activate Landeskog's $7m.

The more likely scenario is he's sent to the AHL for a conditioning stint and back up for round 1 of the playoffs.

I legitimately teared up at this and I’m not even a Colorado fan. In fact I kind of dislike them.

This is amazing.

If you want waterworks, tune into his 5 part documentary going on right now. New episodes every Sunday on TNT/TruTV at 12 PM Eastern.

Second episode was just aired.

The fifth and final episode is the last week of the regular season. Landeskog will probably announce he's returning for the playoffs during that episode.

Vegas taking notes…
I’m happy for Gabe, this has got to feel good for him and the team. I don’t think I’ve seen much optimism here that he’ll be the player that he used to be, or that he’ll stay injury-free. Hoping that he’s healthy regardless of what happens - life goes on after hockey.
 
Imagine not playing for that long and jumping into playoff hockey.

Old man is going to get killed out there.

Edit: Holy shit he's only 32??? Feels like he's been in the league for AGES

wow what a warrior I'm really impressed 😲😲😲 . Don't want to be rude but I don't think our Carey Price (I'm a Habs fan) put this effort to come back.

Seriously? You are unaware of his well public battle with experimental knee surgery and the road to recovery?

I am not, no. Seems like a LTIR guy who pops up every now and then but I'm always left wondering why/how he isn't or hasn't retired yet.
