Doing what’s right for the rest of his life. Going to be really hard to miss two seasons and come back to NHL caliber at his age.
🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃🙃 edit why am I being downvoted lmfao
God fucking damn it.
Take my cartilage, Gabe, I’m not using it.
Happy he’s looking out for himself and his health, depressed cause I miss our captain
Fuck.
Wishing him the best recovery possible.
Now lets find a way to use that cap space and make another run at this thing
[a good video with more info on the procedure and outcomes](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEjwSUrUuNU)
I am truly sad. The only consolation was seeing him finally lift the cup. I hope he can come back to hockey but at this point is it even worth it?
That’s going to suck, but it’s nice to know ahead of time instead of hoping for a return all year. Hoping the surgery works out.
Really starting to worry that he may be done. Taking 2 years off for injury at his age is really rough.
I hope he recovers for his own well-being, but man this sucks.
he’s been an absolute warrior through all this. wish him nothing but the best in his recovery journey!!
That doesn’t sound like the kind of thing where you can play elite ice hockey afterwards.
Bummer for gabe but he had an amazing career already, hopefully he can enjoy the rest of his life with his new knee
IDK how it works in Hockey, but can we promote Mac or Rants to Captain? Seems weird to not have one like last year
Holy shit.
Oh Captain. My Captain. 😔.
Idk how this team will replace his leadership tbh. We currently don’t have a true captain on this roster. Absolutely gutted for Gabe. Fucking horrible luck man
Damn. At least the front office has some certainty. LTIR and use that money for some scoring help. Godspeed Landy 🫡
Man when it rains it pours around here. This really sucks. As if him being gone all of last year wasn’t bad enough + playoffs, now we’re without our captain for yet another year of this core’s youth.
Of course I wish Gabe the best in his recovery, but man is that contract looking…questionable now. Two years removed from any NHL-paced hockey activity at age 31 with his style of play has me very concerned the version of Landy we saw during the cup run is dead.
Worst thing about this year’s trade deadline was the uncertainty of Gabe. The Avs didn’t make big moves or put Gabe on LTIR because there was always a chance he could come back before the playoffs.
Now, the Avs are unburdened and can make the moves necessary. And more importantly, use the 7mil in cap space.
Dang, here’s to a solid recovery cap!
Better to take care of his health, and now we know for a fact we can use his cap space. Better to know and work around it than play the « will he, won’t he » game like this year
This hurts my soul so much
Gave his knee for a cup.
He’s a fucking great guy and this is a fucking asshole of a day
I have a sinking feeling he is never going to play again and that’s such a bummer, but if that’s really the case, retire his number immediately
I’m gonna cry….Landy is the heartbeat of that team.
Calder. Captain. Champion. Hope we can see him again, but I’ve loved watching him. My favorite post-Sakic player.
💔💔💔💔💔
Well, that’s one off-season question mark with an answer.
This is sad. It sounds like a last ditch effort kinda thing to resume his career. But a two year layoff from the league is rough. I hope the surgery goes well.
My captain 😢
Y’all giving up on Landy!? Dudes gonna be back and savvy as ever. I believe in him
God damn reminds me of Tyrell Davis fucking Knees there is so much bad shit that can happen.
Much love cap
Just fell to my knees in King Soopers.
I’m hurt dawg don’t ask if I’m alright
Wow… this hurts. All I can picture is him in the last game he played in, losing his skate and giving his all to get back to the bench, followed by images of him lifting the cup, and embracing his wife crying and saying « we did it » while she tells him how proud of him she is.
Miss you Man Rocket. We all just want what is best for you.
Can’t say I didn’t see this coming, but is what it is. Let’s use the LTIR and try and load up.
Maybe not the right time and don’t mean to sound insensitive, but how does everyone feel about the team retiring 92 If the last time we see him on the ice is him raising the cup? it’s definitely a discussion, but I’m leaning toward yes. Love the guy, and wishing him all the best.
