I knew Boods was the goaltending coach in Loveland, I did NOT know that Neal Pionk's little brother was the assistant equipment manager.

Can someone remind me, is O’Connor expected to be back for the playoffs? Thanks.
Sadly no. He had hip surgery. He's expected to be ready to go for training camp.

Big shame for him, because he was having career season. Beast.

Unless he’s playing possum, the video I’ve seen would indicate Landeskog is not coming back this year.
It doesn’t look like he’s close to game speed. Actually he looks pretty similar to last year near playoff time.

As careful as the Avs are PR wise… I wouldn’t take anything from what is allowed to be out there. They’ve gone lengths to conceal things here and want zero heat about it.

He looks further along vs last year from my eyes but I tend to think next year is more realistic. What gets me is one setback and he may have to start over?

Excellent! Things are shaping up nicely!
- potential hostage to extort a "play horrible in the series - or else" -
- a big tournament to decide who's the best
All we need to do now is find Neil Pionk's best friend and take him out to send a message and show we're serious.

You think?
I thought so initially when he started skating a couple months ago, but it seems like from what we’ve seen there’s been very little progression.
At some point he’ll have to consider the team too. I hope they know what his status is for next year by the draft. Either he retires, or confirms he’s good to go. The Avs have to be able to make some sort of plan. They can’t have this lingering on for years.

He’s not playing possum and the team isn’t concealing anything. There is a very real chance his career is over. It’s unfortunate but I don’t see this having the happy ending so many of you are holding out for.

As I have said in the past, this reminds me so much of Gordie Kluzak and Cam Neely back in the day when I grew up in NH. Very long recovery time frames, little information shared and setback after setback.
Either way, this injury has shortened a great players career by a lot.

I hope he recovers fast. Concussions suck.
With that said, I hope the Avs move on from him as fast as possible this Summer.

He's going to be very hard to move if we don't take another similar contract back...and we can't take another contract back.

Have there been any updates on Francouz? Is he at least going to be ready to play to start next season?
His pro career is confirmed over, unfortunately.

No video but he had an awkward collision with Ross Colton. I’m assuming that was what did it.

It really seemed to me that Colton sensed there was someone right around him and so he initiated a reverse hit elbow to protect the puck, but he didn't realize it was a teammate that he was hitting.

Even if G is back for the 1st round, we know it won’t take long for him to get injured/shy away from contact. He’s softer than baby shit. He has to go this summer.
