One by one, every other player who was in the Colorado Avalanche lineup Tuesday night filed into the locker room, undressed from the club’s morning skate and left.
Some of Gabe Landeskog‘s teammates were likely done with a post-skate workout, showered and headed for I-25 by the time the captain decided he’d call it a morning and head for the dressing room as well. When the Avalanche captain was physically unable to play because of a troublesome knee, he reminisced about the little things he was missing out on.
Now that he has a chance to truly be part of the team again, being one of the last regulars off the ice after a morning skate has become a regular occurrence.
