Landeskog on the ice doing pre-practice warmups with the team.
Getting better and stronger everyday…
I'm half convinced we will never see him skate in a regular practice jersey. He'll be in the red no-hit jersey skating around like this with the boys in the morning. Then he'll be dropping the gloves on the opening faceoff and beating the ever loving crap out of somebody to set the god damned tone later that night.
Can’t imagine how tough this has been physically and mentally not being in battle with his team
Yeah, and knowing the type of man he is, the fact that he's the Captain must've have made this all the more intolerable to bare. It's not just that they could've used him skill-wise out there. There were a lot of times, especially last season, where I think they just absolutely missed him... both personally and for the emotional leadership he provides.
I sort of pity the team we are playing the night he is green-lit. The dogs are going to be pulling the sled HARD. Nobody is going to allow themselves to be the reason that night doesn't end with a total celebration.

Just kidding.
I hope.
