Confirmed with Link: Landeskog suspended 3 games

I mean, do you call up Rantanen for 3 games, knowing full well you don't want to burn that first year of his ELC? Seems highly unlikely.

Just so stupid. Up 3-0 in the third period with like 6 minutes to go and he did something so reckless and could end up costing us a playoff spot. You don't expect that **** from your captain and he's starting to get rep as a dirty player.

3 games seems like a bit much, but he has to learn to control himself. Too many borderline hits and, honestly, clear acts of aggression. Those aren't hockey plays, he is losing it for a moment and going for the injury.
I hope he comes back a bit changed from this. Need the physical, FOCUSED Landy, not the viking looking to burn down villages.
Not expecting Rantanen at all. Martinsen likely goes on that 3rd line.

For what it's worth, I think Landy has been the best player on the team for a while now, so this will hurt badly. He's been a monster on the forecheck, backcheck, and penalty kill.
If the Avs do bring up anyone, it's probably Everberg, but they'll probably role with what they have.

I guessed 2-3, seems about what they would rule.
I don't think they'd bring Rantanen up for a short stay but this is an uncommon situation. Does this count as an emergency recall if they do choose to make one. I don't think they'd want to go on the road with no extra forwards. My guess is they just choose Everberg or something.

I just think it's ridiculous that a team that's apparently all in on making the playoffs wouldn't call up their best prospect when there's an opening for him.

Dubi got a 1 game suspension for hitting Crosby in the head and breaking his stick on his back after Crosby was laying on the ice. Landy gets 3. Absolutely no consistency there.

Hopefully he'll learn from it. If it's a suspension for just playing hard hockey and ending up wrong it's one thing but this was not a necessary play. Next time he'll get 5 games. This is a shot across the bow.
I think part of the problem with Landeskog is that he is one of the few really physical players on the team and it seems he feels the need to set the tone and sometimes overdo it. He needs to learn that just playing as he should is enough.

It would be yah but they havent done anything yet. I would love to refresh the page and see that Mikko Rantanen has been recalled.
The consistency is ********, but I can't complain about this one.
That's a 100% you-can't-do-that in today's NHL.

Nice Landy. Now we lose you for three games in a crucial playoff race and you're a repeat offender for that careless hit.
How much you want to bet Nurse who plays for the media storm Oilers gets less for jumping a defenseless Polak and beating the crap out of him though?

Hate to say it but this is as deserved as it gets. Just a stupid, stupid play by Landy. I was thinking 1-2, but with a suspension already this season it is not surprising that they tacked a game on.
THIS! Please do this. I doubt he ever goes back to San Antonio if he gets called up.

So an extra 2 games for something that was less malicious because he had a suspension before that was too harsh?
But that's the issue. The Avs clearly do not want to burn the first year of that ELC. Otherwise, he would have been up here a long time ago.
You can't just call up your top prospect, tell him he's only getting three games, and no matter what happens, send him back. The Avs have already made their decision at this point.
