Travis is back to his old ways, and becoming a leader inside the Flyers locker room. Konecny has been fiesty and full of energy, but even more impressive has been his scoring abilities. He has 22 goals through the first 50 games of the season, “I think Torts does a good job breaking in players habits and following down the same path. He does a good job with everybody,” Konecny said yesterday at the All-Star Game availability
Konecny said John Tortorella has helped him grow his game. One can sense his renewed confidence on the ice, and he has been playing pretty loose. He’s a microcosm of a player that’s not afraid to make a mistake.
During his All-Star game media availability he recollected the days of when he used to play with Nick Suzuki from the Montreal Canadiens, “Nick he’s great. He’s got a dry sense of humor. Great hockey player, put in the time. Always great competitive days at the school, it was a lot of fun.”
The Super bowl is coming up and that was a hot topic for media availabilities for the All-Star Game yesterday. Some Philadelphia Eagles fans will be happy with Konecny’s choice of who he wants to win the Super Bowl. Konecny would like the Kansas City Chiefs and Patrick Mahomes to win the big game in a little over a week. He said it’s hard to go against Mahomes and company.
As much as people downed Konecny in 2021-22, I believe that he used that negativity to better himself and that really helped out the team. John Tortorella spoke very highly of him:
“He’s just a really good player. He knows he’s a good player. When his mind is straight, and he doesn’t get caught up in the antics of it all, and just plays, his engine is so good. It’s fun to watch him play.” – John Tortorella said following the Colorado game
