Flyers’ forward Travis Konecny spoke to the media about the team’s playoff prospects amid their ongoing rebuild and the current season’s challenges. Konecny expressed a mix of realism, frustration, and confidence in the long-term plan:
- He acknowledged the disappointment of missing the playoffs annually, noting how compelling the postseason is to watch and play in.
- He said it would be frustrating but “not the end of the world” if they miss again this year.
- He emphasized faith in the rebuild, stating the team they’re building will become a playoff contender, and he’s “not worried about that.”
Key quotes from his comments:
- “It’s not going to be, like, the end of the world if it didn’t happen. I’d be frustrated, but I know that the team we’re building, what we have, the plan, we’re going to be a playoff team and I’m not worried about that.”
- “I think the break is good for everybody.”
This came in the context of Konecny’s strong personal performance (leading the Flyers in scoring with notable production post-November), though the team has struggled to stay consistently in playoff contention. He remains committed to the organization’s vision despite past frustrations (like at last season’s trade deadline).
