Colorado Avalanche fans hold their breath as captain Gabriel Landeskog suffers a brutal rib injury in a weekend split against the Carolina Hurricanes and Florida Panthers. Can the Avs maintain their momentum and Olympic hopes with Landeskog sidelined? Chris Micieli and Zach Pearson break down the dramatic injury, its implications for the Avs’ lineup, and what it means for Landeskog’s return to international play.
The hosts analyze Colorado’s third-period rally versus Carolina, highlight power play struggles that cost them against Florida, and question whether Cale Makar’s uncharacteristic dip is cause for concern. With injuries stacking up and the Olympic break looming, the Avs’ resilience faces a major test. Listeners also get fan reactions, Power Play woes, and the latest on key injuries as the Avalanche chase consistency at the top of the NHL standings. Will Colorado’s depth carry them through?

So we have O'connor, Blackwood Toewes and Landy out right now?
I just hope the goal post is ok 😊
Landy goes down. Now the AVS will start loosing and fall out of first place. And then loose in the first round again? They need one guy to win games. They are a deep team they should be able to keep winning games. But their handicapping themselves because they believe they can't do it without landy. That's their weakness. The last I saw hockey was a team sport it isn't dependent on one guy carrying the team. How pathetic!
The Avs consistently underestimate, or is it underreport, the time players are going to be out. If Landy comes back after the Olympics, that would be great. After, perhaps playing in Italy.
What a bs excuse! I care! We looked like shit tonight and lost Cap on top of it!!! GARBAGE NIGHT!
For the weekend, the power play was a net 1/9.
No way you win a Cup with anything close to that bad.
Makar taking easy because of canada but this is what happens when you dont keep playing hard
Cale's play has deteriorated over the past 20 games when compared to the first 20. Scoring down, plus-minus lagging, overall D-play anything but exceptional. And his presence on the PP has become a marginal asset at best. Has he been playing hurt or is he suffering from a short-term slump? Regardless, he needs to get going again for the Avs to have a genuine opportunity to win another Stanley Cup. Let's go, Cale!!!
Don’t think we lose this game if toews is in or PP gets atleast 1
Most worried about a raptured spleen. Just getting a slap on that hurts aloooot, pain that can make you passout. The speed into the post was very narly. Hope he can recover soon!
