The Colorado Avalanche's end-of-season press conference brought plenty of news and information but left much to be desired.

Landeskog followed up the not-retiring statement by saying it has felt like slow torture not being able to play while his teammates do. He fully understood, though, the consequences he would face if he rushed back and had been taking things slowly.
