You love to see a comeback story.

Like Kim Kardashian.

Who ?

 

[a mangy Meowth]

Who ?

Gavriel Landeskov

 

[Crabapple]

Never though he'd play again, pretty incredible

 

[Coffee]

YO!!!!!!

 

[TheBeastCoast]

Pretty awesome to see.

 

[LuGBuG]

Three years is a long time in hockey. Very intrigued to see how it goes. Maybe a massive add.

 

[Coffee]

Who ?

He scored his first NHL goal against you guys

 

[Captain97]

That's goddamn awesome. Hope he's back permanently

 

[Fire Sweeney]

Potential opponents already looking for the next Samuelsson or Marchhment

 

[SnowStorm]

I'm giddy like a schoolgirl about this.

 

[Chel Guy]

I hope it works out for him and he can be a solid contributor for the Avs in the ploffs.

 

[Blueline Bomber]

It'd be amazing if it works out. But this could also be another Bishop situation, where the AHL stint makes him realize that he can no longer keep up with the game. Still, it's going to be an answer one way or the other, which is probably what both he and the team needs after 3 years

 

[avsfan9]

Awesome news. Most people would have retired and collected a cheque but he’s determined to do it.

Either this is going to end his career or come back.

Hope it's a come back heart fealt story.

convenient timing, im guessing he'll be NHL ready the minute the cap stops applying eh?

 

[Boyon90]

It's gonna be a huge load of the shoulders of MacKinnon, I expect him to burst when his fellow returns

Hes coming off 3 years not playing hockey

The expectation should be he gets scratched in the playoffs because hes not good enough to play playoff games.

Its extremely rare for a player to miss so much time and comeback close to what they were before.

Ben Bishop tried making a comeback for Dallas in 2022 after missing 1.5 years and he sucked due to his injury not letting him play.

Landeskog playing is great. But if hes not effective and is being played regardlesd by the Avs thats a big advantage for Western conference playoff teams

The long term LTIR loophole

Same here. Good luck to him - hopefully he does it. Be a helluva good story.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Wow, that was a long, long road for Landeskog. I know a lot of people thought he was done, but in every interview he always said he wasn't. You have to be really mentally tough to go through what he's been through & keep on keeping on.

Good luck to him!
