No, you calm down

[RoyIsALegend]

Me double checking what I read to make sure it said Landy is activated:

 

[pockets]

Not a big deal or anything...

So who’s the first D-man getting leveled by the captain tonight?

Shawn Spencer: [bursts into the SBPD office] Gus, I'm sensing something. I'm sensing... ice. And sticks. And a bunch of dudes with missing teeth.
Gus: That's just hockey, Shawn.
Shawn: No, no. I'm sensing something more specific. [puts hand to temple] The spirits are telling me that tonight, MacKinnon is going to dangle through the entire Stars team like they're standing still. And Nuke? The spirits say he's going to score so many goals, they'll need to check his stick for actual magic.
Gus: You can't just make predictions like that, Shawn.
Shawn: I've heard it both ways.
Lassiter: [walks in wearing Stars gear] Spencer, what are you doing here?
Shawn: The real question, Lassie, is what are YOU doing in Stars apparel? That's the real crime here.
Lassiter: I appreciate defensive structure and disciplined systems. The Stars play proper hockey.
Shawn: [gasps dramatically] You take that back! The Avs play hockey the way pineapples taste. Sweet, tangy, and impossible to resist.
Gus: You know that's right.
Shawn: The Stars have about as much chance tonight as Pluto has of being reinstated as a planet.
Gus: [looking genuinely hurt] Shawn, you know that's still a sore subject for me. Pluto was done dirty. That's messed up.

Keys to the Game​

Shawn: [still with hand to temple] I'm sensing the Avs need to do three things to win tonight:

1. I'm seeing... a man with a C on his chest... he needs to be in tonight! The spirits say if Landy plays, Dallas doesn't stand a chance.
2. Wait, wait, I'm getting something else... a wall. A wall made of... pads and a glove? Blackwood needs to channel his inner Patty Roy and be absolutely unflappable.
3. And finally... power! Power... play! Yes! The Avs' power play needs to be more effective than Gus's Super Sniffer.

Gus: Shawn, that's not how any of this works.
Shawn: I've heard it both ways.

Pre-Game Psych-Out​

Shawn: [addressing the Stars through the locker room door] Hey Dallas! You know what they say about Stars? They're just big balls of hot air! And they're millions of miles away! Just like your chances of winning tonight!
Gus: [pulling Shawn away] That doesn't even make sense, Shawn!
Shawn: It doesn't have to make sense, Gus. It just has to be in their heads!

Calm down dude.

Landeskog is not the only one who is activated right now

 

[the_fan]

Landeskog is not the only one who is activated right now

I certainly understand all the excitement, but I kinda wanna see it for sure that Landy plays. It sounds likely, but it hasn’t been confirmed yet

This one too

 

[CobraAcesS]

Not a big deal or anything...

This also means technically the media has access to him now I'd think.

So who’s the first D-man getting leveled by the captain tonight?

Girard, after Landy goes for a huge hit on Benn, misses him and levels G

Girard

Your captain is back.

You last saw him raise the Stanley Cup over his head.

Go through a f***ing wall tonight, boys.

 

[The Pwnerer]

O/U 1 period that Bednar gets impatient and elevates Landeskog to the 1st line?

But seriously, if this is really his first game back just an incredible moment in Avs history. Love you Landy, keep proving us all wrong! An absolute inspiration to us all!

Like I wasn’t nervous enough already. Sure hope he plays but holy crap, hard to believe it’s a possibility after 3 years.

This is why I won’t go more than Miles Wood
