Landeskog Practicing w/Team

Okay... does anyone subscribe to the AHL streaming stuff?

How good is the quality of the stream? If it's good, I'm going to puchase a month of the AHLTV service to watch Landy's game(s). If it's not, I'll watch any highlights that make it to YT.
I subscribed two years ago. It was good not great. That said they seem to have signed with someone new to provide it. I am debating on doing the same to watch his game this weekend. The fact he might only play one and not both has me pausing more than the quality.

A low chance of happening, but it's much higher in the AHL, where there are career nobodies that always wanted to be somebodies, and may feel like this is their chance to make a name for themselves with a reckless play.

I won't refute that this might happen, but if a no name AHLer could "make a name for themselves" by ending the career of an NHL captain who has been working towards a return for three years during a conditioning stint, there's something psychopathic in hockey culture.

I've seen this mentioned, but it's missing the key aspect that it could also mean he may never achieve his goal of playing at least one game in the NHL again. Playing in the AHL isn't the goal.

I'm just of the mind that if he's gonna get injured, or if his knee isn't gonna hold up after one game, better to do it in the NHL, so he at least accomplishes his goal. Fingers crossed he does anyway.

I just wish the Eagles had some enforcers to put on his line, but I'm not sure they have any. Devonte Stephens looks like the only guy that fights much, and he's only had 4 this year, and he's listed under 200 lbs.

When Sobourin and the other guy targeted MacDonald, likely to make a name for themselves when he was going for the D man goal record, nobody fought afterwards. MacDonald missed the next game, which was against the same SJ team, and Devonte Stephens only fought Sabourin because he knocked him to the ice, then stood around waiting for him, as Stephens looked like he didn't want to fight, and Sabourin really tuned him up to put it nicely. So I'm not sure anyone on the other side is gonna worry about something happening if they make another bad hit.

Hopefully everything goes fine though.


Damn that guy is such a piece of shit. Absolutely predatory

It’s the Kroenkes. That means it’s all about the $ and only the $.
I don't know about the broadcast. Won't there be a lot of cameras there already? The Landeskog documentary.

I was thinking about that interview with an Avalanche player where he complained about all of the cameras.

I get what you’re saying and it’s just a matter of opinions, but for me, if god forbid Landy plays one game and the knee doesn’t hold up, I think it’s better to happen in the AHL than the 1st game of the NHL playoffs.

Landy won’t think he achieved his goal if he only plays one game in the NHL after 3 years of hard work to make a come back, and I think the let down would be worse for him and the team if he’s injured in the 1st game of the 1st round. It would also be a destruction for the team.

Elliotte says he believes and has been told Landeskog intends to play in one of the upcoming AHL games. He doesn't know which game and said people shouldn't assume based on morning skates.

Maybe I'm wrong, but the impression I've gotten from everything Gabe has said in the doc and elsewhere, is that he's not sure how things will go after he comes back. How he'll play, how the knee will hold up, how long he'll play, etc.

The impression I've gotten is that making it back for at least one NHL shift, is basically the goal, and after that, whatever happens, happens.

I think it would be a demotivation to a lot of the team either way. Especially Nate. Fingers crossed it goes well.

Yeah, I didn't mean necessarily that they would intentionally try to end his career.

More that, similar to the play on MacDonald who had been making a name for himself, they saw that as an opportunity to get some attention for themselves, and make a big hit or something, but they were reckless about it, when Gabe's reactions and timing are at their worst.

Hopefully I'm just being overly worried though. Most likely nothing will happen, it would just be one of the saddest things in hockey if it did, outside of personal life and off ice stuff, and I really hope it doesn't.

Prediction: knee holds up fine, 2g-2a through 2 periods, but some AHL bus rider who moonlights at Jiffy Lube tries to headhunt, misses, and winds up in a scrab with Gabe, who then breaks his hand rearranging Johnny Oilchange's nose. 😭
