Hope is no longer a strategy, O Captain, my Captain. Without Gabe Landeskog, the Avs are stuck spinning their wheels in neutral, pining for the hockey gods to give them a push. “I'd like to be able for him to come back and be able to play,” Avalanche coach Jared Bednar said late Friday after his team's playoff dreams ended with a gut punch of a loss at home, this time to Dallas, for a second straight spring. If you're not rooting like heck for Landy to be back out on that ice, raising the bar and setting the tone, you don't have a soul.
Though Gabriel Landeskog can't play for the Colorado Avalanche, the injured captain was on the ice helping them prepare for Game 2 of the Western Conference First Round against the Winnipeg Jets at Canada Life Centre on Tuesday (9:30 p.m. ET; CBC, TVAS, ALT, ESPN). Colorado trails the best-of-7 series 1-0. Landeskog had cartilage transplant surgery on his right knee May 10, 2023. The forward hasn't played since June 26, 2022, when he had an assist to help Colorado win the Stanley Cup with a 2-1 victory against the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final.
