Landeskog Practicing w/Team

[Chiarelli]

I can’t imagine Landeskog will return to the first line. If he did, that’d push Lehkonen down in which case I’d rather Lehkonen play with Coyle and Colton (who looks like he’s playing better lately to my eye) than have Drouin there. Regardless, people talk about the Stars having the best forward group. I’m not so sure about that but I’m not as knowledgeable about other teams as some on here are. A Landeskog-Coyle-Colton line wouldn’t be your typical third line. It’d be like a 2.5 line, at least I think they’d be that good assuming Landeskog is fit.

Lehkonen - Mackinnon - Necas
Drouin - Nelson - Nichushkin
Landeskog - Coyle - Colton
Kelly - Drury - O'Connor
Kiviranta/Wood/Vesey

If Landeskog returns at even 80% the player he was in 2022 then that's easily the deepest forward group in the league

No I was told that is Dallas /s

Looks to have lost 100 pounds

I lost significant weight when I had a knee replacement a few years back.

 

[WarriorOfGandhi]

lads, I'm sporting quite a bit of wood right now

He wouldn’t be practicing with the team if he wasn’t going to return. Just waiting for the POs.

 

[SirLoinOfCloth]

So hyped to see him back. Proving the doubters wrong hopefully. He's done when he says he's done.

I wish I could be there for his first game in the Can, get some seismometers on standby, this Avalanche is about to cause some serious seismic activity.

Game 1, Landeskog grabs that piece of shit Benn and beats the shit out of him....

The rest of the team goes nuts and we are going for a run that will go down in history.......

A man can dream.......

Yeah, reality is probably more like: Landy takes the ice and Benn immediately targets his knees and gets away with it because the league doesn't seem to GAF about guys intentionally going after the opponent's top players in the playoffs. ...and if it's not Landy it will be Mack, or Makar, or Necas, or Lehky, etc. That is Benn's MO. He always targets one or two top guys from the opposing team and takes them out. He does it every year.

Not if he gets taken out first....,

 

[Bill Peckerskull]

If they LTIR Manson, send Middleton down, and waive Wood, they can activate Landy. Whether they do that now, or the last 2-3 games of the season, it could be done.

Still so hard to believe the last time we saw this guy on ice was this:

 

[LOFIN]

Not going to get overly excited for one practice. Would be tricky to activate him before the playoffs anyway, so probably not going to happen before G1.

 

[The Moops]

Does anyone know how to watch the first 2 episodes of the clean sheet show with Landy? I don't have TNT/TruTV so I couldn't watch them live

 

[jabubenice]

Just massage it for now and get ready to release when it happens!!

 

[cinchronicity]

I am as happy as the next guy about Landy coming back. That said, I am not 100% sure that knee will hold out for even 1 game, let alone 3 more seasons. One aspect I do not think we have covered is the impact that Landy on LTIR has on cap accrual. His LTIR completely eliminates it, making Cmac's job a little tougher come each of the next 3 trade deadlines.

 

[famicommander]

I hope he drops the gloves and knocks somebody out on his first shift back.

Is there a way to watch Landeskog’s documentary series on demand or do I need to try to catch it when it’s rerun?

Yes

 

[Cousin Eddie]

I’m kinda kringey about this.

Love Lando but this is gonna be like Peyton Manning v2.0. I was sitting in the stands when Peyton took his first sack and the entire stadium just gasped because we didn’t know what would happen next. That moment will for sure happen in Ball.

The same Peyton Manning who won a superbowl in his last ever football game? Yeah he was shit but let’s not ever forget that opening drive which first got the Broncos on the board. They never looked back after he lead them downfield.

Let’s f***ing go

I think a fully healthy Dallas and fully healthy Florida are both on that same level in terms of depth and overall firepower, so I'd disagree a bit, especially about the "easily" part. But those are definitely the top 3 IMO, in no particular order COL/DAL/FLA.

He should have won two. F***ing Rahim Moore.

Id be curious to at some point see:

Lehkonen-MacKinnon-Nichushkin
Landeskog-Nelson-Necas
Drouin-Coyle-Colton
Kiv/Kelly-Drury-LOC
