Jesse Montano and Meghan Angley break down where he fits, what a realistic expectation is, and whether he can be a playoff contributor. Plus, we dive into the Avs’ recent dominance, how the new additions are meshing, and whether Josh Manson’s latest injury is a major concern.

Every interview and sighting we see of Landy, he looks dedicated to healing and trying to get back. But damn I will not lie, it seems like it’s a never ending fishing line
Him starting to practice now is the perfect timeline to get him ramped up for an appearance in the first round. It's happening. Even if he's on the third line that's a MASSIVE upgrade from Kivi. Dude is an elite athlete too, I bet he can jump right into play unlike how other people think. You would be shocked how guys can just get back into things
The hoodie is gold
Every single time, that intro makes me move my hips Forrest Gump voice
Can't imagine the pain Landy will go through this year will be what he supposedly went through in 2022. If he can stand up, he'll play.
Believe it when I see it.
St. Patrick’s day always feels like the beginning of a playoff run. 😅
For me personally, I am operating under the assumption that he isn't coming back until I start to see him be a full participant in practice on a daily basis.
How dare you speak down on Kivi
I think it was 'moose' and not 'boos'
Replacing Kivi? A guy who hasn’t played for three years…replacing a moderate scoring 3/4 line winger who is hot right now? Idk if I want that. Maybe for Kelly? Or Kelly and Kivi? They could switch every other game with Landy? Idk. Unless he actually comes back 100% old Landy I don’t know if he’s a high enough level to replace those guys.
No. Too long out. Too many starts and stops. Wish it weren't so. He turned into a terrific captain. But even if he tries, doubt he could sustain it to be effective.
I AM SO HAPPY I COULD DIE!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
What amazes me is how denver latches on to certain figureheads and is obsessive about them . Denver deifies this perfect virtue of man sports hero like a god that is to be set as the perfect role model . You see this with the never ending landeskog infatuation and it is so much the Elway complex. You just don’t see this in Bay Area where I live and it’s strange to see. Maybe it’s a cowboy cult hero demigod thing . I am just so tired of hearing about him . The way you were about Elway was ridiculous , quit worshipping this character archetype geeesh
Place landy on 3rd line abd move kivi to 4th line.
I think it’s time we got a weekly “Meghan Only Mailbag.”
Weren’t these two part of DNVR? What happened?
Orange Meghan
One non contact practice in 3 yrs and everyone is slotting him into a starting position in 5 weeks…huh. hasnt even made it to contact much less 2 practices in a row. Just let it be it will happen when it happens
38:07 Two steps forward, two steps back. We come together cause opposites attract. And you know, it ain't fiction, just a natural fact.
