10 Observations: The Plan All Along Was For Landeskog To Sit Out Game 2 (+)

DALLAS — Before the Avalanche had a chance to really take control of the series, they put on quite the charade with the status of their captain, Gabriel Landeskog.

Colorado lost 4-3 in overtime to the Dallas Stars on Monday, shifting the series to Denver, knotted up at 1-1. Landeskog didn’t play in either of the two games at American Airlines Center.

But, it sure felt like he was going to.

Here’s my recollection of the whirlwind of a day. Everything from what seemed like an imminent return for Gabriel Landeskog, to Miles Wood stepping in instead, to a back-and-forth entertaining game that ended in the Stars’ favor.
