Injury Report: 2022-23 Injury Thread Part 2: HF's longest ever thread

[95snipes]

Feel for Landeskog. At least he got the experience of winning it all and hope to see him back on the ice someday.

This off season just got very interesting. Probably the most important off season to date with this core.

 

[avalanche_country]

That Methot interview sounds horrible. Makes it sound like Landeskog will not return at all following rehab.

Yeah I’m just going assume Landy is never coming back and I hope the Avs prepare that way.

Methot though made it sound like he had trouble walking and getting out of bed, Landy basically said there is no pain in walking or anything, just skating. Maybe landys isn’t as bad.

Either way, what a huge buzzkill for this team, fans and the cup window seems like a peep hole now

 

[Drury_Sakic]

The thing is, even without nuke and Landy, this team is a cup contender if you improve the depth.

Ideally that is with a center, but add in a true second line player along with 2-3 2nd/3rd line players with up and down scoring potential and some 4th line/bench forward depth and the Avs are right back in contention.

And there is 100% going to be a buyers market this summer for depth players due to one more season of a tight cap.

A healthy D core plus some added depth up front, and the Avs are right back in the swing. Add the potential for a healthy Landy at playoff time….

 

[The Kingslayer]

Kinda funny that we were all concerned early in Landys career that him being a human missile was going to shorten his career and if he didnt pick and choose when to be physical he wouldnt play long. Who would have thought his career might be cut short because a teammate stabbed him.

Also, stay away from Cogliano at all cost. That guy is always around weird shit happening on the ice. Guy is the human crash test dummy.

They're missing a top line winger, a 2C, a second line winger, and an entire third line.

Right now after MacK Rants and Lehkonen there's in terms of top 9 forwards.

That's a lot of holes to fill without Landy and Nuke.

That’s a lot of holes to fill with not a ton of money. Some ELCs would have been great but we are where we are. Is there still any hope OO can become a Burakovsky type of player?

Oh god no… not yet. Kid is raw and just might be a dummy (on the ice, don’t know off)

Oof that sucks.

I could see it. Avs always get their guy.

Kulikov is UFA

I feel awful for Landy. I really do.

I don’t feel bad for how he is dragging along his possible return. He’s missing 2 entire seasons of hockey….he isn’t coming back as Landy or coming back at all to be honest.

Can we just let the team move on…find a bonafide 2nd line centre, with Gabes salary. Name a new C (Makar) and establish a new identity. Sounds harsh. I know. But if Chicago being handed the 1st overall is any indication. Money and business is all that matters. I dont know what Gabe is pretending to do but it’s not good for the org. Which is all that should matter, right Gary?

If you couldn’t tell a lurker has checked out on the “potentially rigged” nhl.

He isn't pretending to do anything... what kind of garbage is this.

 

[niwotsblessing]

Hard news, super best to wishes to Landy first and foremost to recover well to lead a good life.

On top of that, if he can come back and play meaningful hockey that would be a plus. And if he does my wish is that he once again lifts the Cup.

¿Que?

 

[SaltySkywalker]

Great, CHI gets Bedard AND they’ll get one of their local surgeons to f*** up our captain.

“Oops, my scizzies slipped!”

 

[crue7]

This all f***ing sucks. To end the season with this many injuries and hearing Landy is going to be out for an entire year is a gut punch.

Best of luck to our Captain who led us to hockey’s glory. Get well soon Gabe

 

[Metallo]

Awful news to cap off an amazing amount of injuries this year. Incredible. If this was a movie we would all say it is an unrealistic script.

 

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

At this point, I just hope Landy can have a healthy life where he can enjoy the spoils that he has earned and valuable time with his young family.

Buravosky and OO are not going to be on the Avs roster ever. So they have that similarity.

If OO plays 100 games for the Avs I'll eat a pair of Timberlands.

Wrong thread

Man... that would be a hard pill to swallow.

Is this the operation?

Wow, that's one of the worst takes I've read on this website in some time and I've seen the dieze posts. He's not pretending, the guy wants to come back. Even if he's not the same Landy he wants to be an nhl player still. His whole identity revolves around it. That being said he's going to take the money if he cant play. They signed a contract and you would have to be a moron not to. It's not like he isn't trying to get better either. It's like the Shea weber or Carey price situation, obviously if they could come back they would but that doesn't mean they are going to retire and forgo generational wealth.

 

[The Kingslayer]

No!

He injured his first knee (Makar) got the surgery on that knee, came back for the playoffs too soon last year. Because that knee didn't fully recover, he compensated with his other knee and injured it in the process.

He got a surgery for that 2nd knee this year but it was unsuccessful. It's that 2nd knee that is too painful to skate on and will be looking for a new surgery on that knee.

Why he getting this surgery on the right knee then? Thats the one Makar stabbed.
