grandmaster Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2315195 Colorado Avalanche captain Gabriel Landeskog will undergo knee surgery Monday and will be out indefinitely, Avalanche head coach Jared Bednar announced Saturday, according to The Athletic's Peter Baugh. Bednar said the team is "hoping" to have the forward back for the beginning of the playoffs, but his availability won't be clear until after the surgery. The ailment is not ACL-related. "Hopefully, he'll be available for us for the stretch line, but he's going to miss some time," he said. "It's something going on with his knee that's been bothering him for a while. It was getting worse." Bednar added that defenseman Samuel Girard will miss four weeks. Landeskog, 29, leads all Avalanche skaters with 30 goals in 51 games this season. Girard, 23, ranks third among Colorado blue-liners with 27 points in 56 contests. Here's how the Avalanche's lineup looked without the duo during Saturday's practice: Colorado currently leads the NHL with 87 points and sits atop the Central Division with a 41-13-5 record. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He will levy cap penalty to ensure a team like Vancouver don't come anywhere near contending for years for trying to use the loophole. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JM_ Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 COL was one of the few contending teams not in LTIR. I think they'd prefer to have Gabe in the lineup, this one doesn't smell fishy to me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuxfanabroad Posted March 12, 2022 Share Posted March 12, 2022 Since the 1990's, have been saying this league is being run for the benefit of key US markets. Usually one is then accused of being a "conspiracy theorist"..that mighty clever catch-all. Agree with JM^..this case doesn't deserve Elliott Ness, but I still don't trust this league for shyte. Personally getting closer to pulling the ol' plug. Really hate contributing time(that ultra-precious resource) to something that I simply don't trust. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Salo was on the LTIR which was the sole reason we were able to keep Bieksa and acquire Higgy and Lapierre, so… If Salo hadn’t gotten injured in the off season, we would have been forced to trade Bieksa. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There definitely is something dirty going on here. It’s not just bad luck that a Canadian team hasn’t won the Cup in over 2 decades…. As for the Canucks, we saw the one sided reffing and league decisions with our teams in the last 2 Finals. The big ones that I will never forget are: 1994 - Messier delivers a dirty hit at the end of game 6 and breaks Lindens ribs while still being allowed to play in game 7 where he scored the game winning goal 2011 - Rome delivers a half second late hit on Horton and gets a ridiculous suspension for the rest of the playoffs while we were already down a defenceman Both Finals also had atrocious reffing that was blatantly set against the Canucks.

If it is actual surgery I think you have to say its legit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is actual surgery I think you have to say its legit. yup, plus Colorao has managed to bank some cap space and don't have a 1st or 2nd rounder so they aren't really in a position for a classic dead line day deal. I guess they could be looking at moving Byram for a F? if its a UFA the team trading for Byram could easily retain 1/2 and with the ~4.5 mil in cap space they have they wouldn't need to play games with the cap.
