The time frame kept getting pushed back and in the back of our heads, we all thought the inevitable was possible. And before puck drop Thursday night against the Winnipeg Jets, the Colorado Avalanche and Gabriel Landeskog made it official. The Captain won't play at all this year, regular season or playoffs due to the knee injury and surgery he has been dealing with for some time now.

But if there is anything this team this year has shown, it's toughness. And the Avs will have to have that without one of the toughest guys on the team in Landeskog.

A lot to cover on today's episode! Tune in, subscribe and enjoy!
