    Maybe it’s about Val? Trying to think of anything else besides retirement.

    #FUCK YEAH HES COMING BACK(delusional)

  3. ForsakenDust7

    I hope we get some answers whether that be he’s retiring or he’s coming back next season. We can’t do this for the 3rd year in a row. I hope he comes back even if he’s a 4th line guy cuz he is extremely valuable to this team

  4. Shaneisonfire

    Could be naming a new captain like how Hejduk did for Landy but I still have hope a full summer of rehab he can try again in September at camp for a comeback

  5. Talinn_Makaren

    I don’t know what to think *and* I don’t know what Evan Rawal thinks that I think. This is going to be a big surprise.

  6. ZeldaTheOuchMouse

    Retirement announcement and he takes a front office role

    Calling it now

  7. dibbiluncan

    What do we all think? People seem pretty split on whether he’s retiring or coming back, so does that mean it’s about neither?

  8. I fully expect this to be a retirement announcement. 

    I want to be wrong, but that’s what I’m expecting.

  9. GandhisGrocer

    He’s going to stand next to Bendar in matching suits. Further enhancing our sexiest coach in the NHL rankings.

  10. adjective____noun

    I think he’s going to sit in front of the mic and say his opinion on various anime.

  11. thriller1

    What’s the message of the “I don’t think it’s for what you all think” tweet? I don’t get it

  12. nightsiderider

    I’m gonna hope for the best, but my expectations are realistic on what this likely is. Either way, gonna be fucking crying tomorrow I guess.

  13. spoopyelf

    I feel like if he was coming back, he’d just come back, not hold a press conference. I bet he’s retiring and naming a new captain.

  14. Shiny_Mew76

    If it’s retirement (which I hope not, he’s barely into his thirties, but I’d understand if it is.), I hope he takes a coaching role. He is too valuable in the locker room to leave, and his presence could still do a whole lot for the team even without him playing.

  15. AltruisticEnd9

    Someone tell me it will be okay I’m scared.

  16. HoodPhones

    Everyone needs to chill

    It was always a 12-16 month recovery time, it just hit 12 months recently. It’s literally probably an end of season check in/presser

  17. u_n_p_s_s_g_c

    If Landy is done as a player, is it insane to want him as an assistant coach? His leadership is so important to this team

  18. If I recall correctly, they did a press conference with him last year in the spring (before his cartilage surgery) giving updates on what had happened the previous year and what not. My guess is it’s probably similar to that press conference

  19. tonhtubra

    My guess is just end of season press conference along with Gabe giving an update on his recovery and his timeline and him saying that if he keeps progressing he hopes to be ready for training camp.

  20. We saw him progressing through practices. He was still a long ways off. Original timeline for the injury was one year at least, so I just can’t imagine were calling it a retirement at this point, but I’m not Gabe. I’m also trying to talk myself into that this is okay. Hoping it’s just a status update since all we really heard on Gabe recently was Bednar saying he “wasnt close” to coming back.

  21. What on earth does “it’s not what you think” mean???? Most of us are going to (fairly) assume it’s a retirement announcement or “I’m coming back next year!” announcement.

    What other options are there? Let’s think of all the fun, ridiculous things it could be. I’ll start…

    “Folks, I’m excited to tell you I’m returning to Sweden to become the fourth Swedish astronaut. Can’t wait to play this amazing sport in an Out of This World setting.”

  22. anemic_royaltea

    League signed off on some cybernetic enhancements. It’s happening.

  23. jfleming5280

    I think he’s going to announce that Jamie Benn can give four HJs at the same time.

  24. Ok if I had to guess that its not Gabe announcing his retirement, I think he’s going to give the Captaincy to someone else while still trying to make a full on ice return. But that’s full on speculation from me.

  25. VnlaThndr775

    He’s just announcing that he saved a bundle on his car insurance by switching to Geico

  26. Everyone chill. He’s just announcing that he’s the new spokesperson for Raising Canes

  27. TropicalBatman

    My guess is he’s going to pull a forsberg. Try his hardest to get back out there and play like your old self. The drive and talent is still there, but his legs aren’t. He’ll get a little leg injury and that’ll be it. Playing 11 games or something like Peter did. I’d much rather celebrate his career after the game with a building full of avs fans thanking him instead of him quietly bowing out behind a microphone.

  28. Landy is going to be a life coach for Val. Val is going to move in to a spare bedroom on successfully complete his rehab. And Both will be back next season. Wishful thinking. 

  29. Guys, I think it’s pretty safe to assume he’s retiring. And that’s okay. It’s time for him to move on and same with the Avs. He can get a job in the front office, Avs can make Mac Captain, and they can begin the work of building next year’s team.
