Do I think it’s real? No. Would it light the whole hockey world on fucking fire if it did happen? Awwww yeaaaa

Honestly id really be surprised if he returned this season. Feel like they would want more time to ease him into games and who knows what he will look like now. I think playoff hockey is a big ask for someone to comeback in after missing the entire regular season.

My best guess is if the Avs make the WCF then Landy will return.

If he somehow returned and played for another 5+ years I would be so happy.

Ok, honest question: is it like a hockey superstition thing to be really negative about the possible return of a player after injury? Like not saying “shutout” while your goalie is working on one? I’m just kinda baffled by the overwhelming negativity in every thread about Landy. Why not be hopeful/supportive of his return?

As someone on IG said, why is he wearing Toews gloves?

At this point I will be amazed if he plays again next season

I am not a big fan of having the C absent from the ice for two straight years. Not the player, the designation. De facto leadership is not as good as defined leadership and the C does no good on long term IR.
Of course that’s just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Guys he’s rehabbing and being part of the team in practices. That in and of itself is exactly what we want to see for next season. He’s obviously making good progress. Leave it at that for now. The offseason period is going to be important for him to catch up when no other nhl team activities are taking place. Then training camp we’ll see what’s what.

I think there is a 0% chance of it happening but I think it would be completely irresponsible if our organization threw him into a playoff game his first game back. We all want him back playing but not into playoff intensity after not playing for almost 2 years. Hopefully he can ramp up next year

Landy coming back would be an extreme over reach of expectations, especially this series.
That said, he’s pretty much guaranteed to be the g7 savior to beat benn in 1v1 combat and get 2a and deflection gw goal
As much as I want Landy back, I don’t want him back now.
He’s been out of things for 2 years and this injury is a MAJOR deal. I get he could “be ready” sometime soon, but I think the best call is to let him sit until next season. Let him get in to some pre-season games to see how things really feel and make a call from there for next year.

Coach Bednar already said no return this season. Why be so impatient and speculative. Give it a rest already.

Yeah I do think this indicates progress, just like Bednar mentioned in his presser. Does this mean he’s coming back this season? I have no idea, neither do you, and at this point I think neither does the team. I think it’s fair to say, they’ve gone from being pretty certain it won’t happen this post season to, it’s a possibility. Maybe still a highly unlikely one, but I never got the impression bedsy was being coy with his answers today, they seemed like honest answers. And if they are honest answers, this is genuinely the most progress we’ve seen from him in 2 years. Don’t be afraid to be hopeful because nobody here knows where he’s genuinely at in his recovery and what it could look like. Don’t put all your eggs in that basket either, but I don’t think we have to remove all hope of seeing him back like some people are saying. Let’s just see where this goes

I’ll honestly be pissed if he returns this season. We’ve waited this long; let’s start fresh with him next year when he fully has the green light.
