Gabe Landisog on the minds of not just abs fans, but many people around the NHL with the new documentary coming out tracking his recovery process.

Gabe certainly sounds like he thinks he's coming back, but got to ask you guys, realistically, will Gabe Landiscag play hockey games in the year 2025?

Yes. Yes.

Okay.

Two yeses.

I worded that question pretty specifically because I just wanted the yes there.

When you start digging into what does that look like, how many games, this situation becomes a lot more murky, right?

Yeah, I mean, I think I have, I'm not going to say 100% confidence, but I'm, I'm

approaching, I'm confident that this is, that he's going to give it a go in the postseason.

And what happens after that, I really don't have a guess. I don't know if he's going to go well. I don't know if he's going to play a bunch of games. I don't know if he's going to play five minutes into the first period and then go back and tell the trainer and be like, cool. That's it. I'm done. Like, sorry, fellas. You know, I don't, I don't know how it goes after that, but I have confidence that he's going to get on the ice and he's going to take a shift.

And Avalanche fans are going to at least be able to thank him for the 2022 Stanley Cup run that he, we now know he played on a knee that was in truly bad shape career

altering shape and he was a point-per-game player that postseason guy was awesome deba bah you know

just to surf off of AJ's comments um i don't think AJ you me anyone media coaches no i don't think Gabe himself knows i don't think AJ, you, me, anyone, media coaches know.

I don't think Gabe himself knows all it's going to go.

You know what I mean?

And that's, if I'm going to take his words, which were I'm going to see this thing through.

You know what I mean?

Whatever that means can mean a lot, right?

I mean, it can mean, like you said, come do one shift, come do one game, come do a playoff run, come do five seasons.

You know, I think mentally he needed to see this thing through way too young to retire.

At some time on his hands, in a sense that whatever, they had just won, the pressure of winning wasn't there. Not that you don't want to win every year, but you know what I mean? The core was signed basically in a sense, you know, McCar, you know, McKinnon, obviously we know what happened with Miko, but all of a sudden, how is it gonna go? I don't know, he doesn't know, but man, he's worked hard to get himself where he is today. He sure looks a lot better today than he did a year ago, two years ago, six months ago. You can see he looks like a hockey player when he steps on the ice r now. Is he doing full throttle? No. But he still looks like a hockey player right now, which he has not looked. He has not
