MoneypuckOverlord Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 "The decision was reportedly performance based." Travis Konecny has 5 goals 3 assists in 8 games a +5 a healthy scratch for whatever reason. He was drafted one after Boeser from the 2015 draft. He's smaller winger, looks like he's A.V's keith Ballard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post King Heffy Posted January 31, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted January 31, 2021 (edited) I wanted him instead of Boeser. Proof that Benning is smarter than me, although Konecny is a hell of a player. Just another victim of AV being incapable of setting the lineup correctly.

NHL'er Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Yea it's just one scratch. Kids a stud. He'll be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 8 points in 8 games, +5, healthy scratch for "performance" reasons is really suspect. Maybe he was giving the Dubois effort somewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mll Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Vigneault calls Konecny one of their 3 best forwards. He explains that he came to Philadelphia to win a Cup and there’s a certain way to play to reach that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rush17 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 AV not tolerating bad 5 on 5 play lol. they are a talented team. I'm glad he's getting a head of it tho. Better to have him scratch guys to get the msg across before to lose a few series before you figure it out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 The real reason is there's a plug that needs to get some games in.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DownUndaCanuck Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Taking a page out of Torts book, AV used to be one of the more loved coaches for sure. To be fair I don't watch Philly games but if he's rubbish or a defensive liability 5 on 5 then AVs got a point. No point racking up PP points if you're making dumb plays defensively 5 on 5. Still, his stats are better than most of their team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Provost Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 AV is one of the best coaches in the game. He seems to know what players need motivating by a kick in the butt and what players need to have a different approach. This seems to clearly just be motivational tool. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mll Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Flyers are not looking to trade Konecny. Here’s Friedman saying don’t make your trade calls to Philadelphia as he’s not going anywhere. With 20 seconds to go: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustABandwagoner Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I remember back in 2015 draft this was the guy I wanted. I rmb when we drafted Boeser I was like WHO THE FK IS THIS GUY. COULDVE HAD BO's cousin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldnews Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Full disclosure - I love AV so that's my 'starting point' - but it's for a lot of reasons. Sometimes small sample production and +/- don't tell much of the story. Konecny has been playing with Patrick, Lindblom (and sometime Giroux). He's geting (probably) the 2nd most opportune minutes among that team's forwards. His corsi is 42.1% (106 on ice shot attempts against, 77 for). AV is one of the premier puck possession coaches in the NHL. He knows what he's doing, he knows what he sees - and he can undoubtedly identify outlier outcomes, and what players are (and are not) pulling their weight. An on ice shooting percentage of 18.8% is not going to sustain with that group - so AV probably looks to the longer term likelihood of success when losing the possession game. If he's had to repeat and repeat himself...what's the next instrument? He's never been a coach to elevate young players prematurely - but like the present Canucks, he's had about 10 players under the age of 25 in his lineup. I imagine he's just setting expectations - and not picking favorites. He's not a coach whose level-headedness I would question. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course Brock is the better player, but if we had drafted Konecny I don't think anyone would be too sad about it now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McBackup Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Konecny is a good player but I definitely think people are overvaluing the fact that he's Bo's second cousin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
