Avs Name Landeskog Captain

[pixburgher66]

Now the youngest captain in league history, beating out Sid by 11 days. Avs trollin' like a boss, haha. That said, even this Pens fan thinks they may have jumped the gun on him. I mean, he's played 82 games in the NHL, zero in the postseason. He's phenomenal, but...wow?

<---literally happened upon reading your post. Still coughing, hahah.

 

[pixburgher66]

Seriously though...what are they gonna do if he has some crazy sophomore slump? Once again comparing it to the Sid situation, they had a good core already at that point. What...what do the Avs have? Duchene...and...Steve Downie? An over paid Statsny?

Kind of a slap in the face to Duchene and Stastny, isn't it?

If I recall correctly, pix thinks Landeskog is dreamy...

I'm pretty sure dreamy was my exact word choice...I'm typically a brunette fan, but I make an exception for Gabe.

Hubba hubba. Blue eyes, nice teeth, dimples. He's gorgeous.

This is as premature as my first non-masturbatory ejaculation.

I wish the Avs would have done this a couple of weeks earlier, Landy might have bumped Doan off of the top-10 captains list on NHL.com...

I guess it is my inner Milan Hejduk fan talking, but why doesnt he still have it? Let him retire with the C, and hand it over to Statsny/Duchene/Landeskog.

And I would have given it to Duchene...

That's exactly what I was thinking.

Now watch Landeskog never have another 50 point season

my first thought.


my second was a screen grab I took of Landeskog's sister at draft day
(hmm... photobucket having problems? - remind me to add picture later)

I guess I was wrong, Matt and Paul seem ok with the news...

 

[puckhead]

I absolutely love the historic slide that team went on directly after that high-five.
season went straight into the toilet.

This joke will be a massive reach (much like the Avalanche naming Landeskog captain right now), but perhaps naming a "dreamy" Landeskog captain is a metaphor for the Avalanche's playoff chances being in the "in your dreams" territory...
