brelic Posted September 13, 2018 Share Posted September 13, 2018 Thought I'd start a Flyers training camp thread to discuss all the goodness that happens over the next 2-3 weeks. To start it off, it appears that TK will be on the PK. http://www2.philly.com/philly/sports/flyers/travis-konecny-philadelphia-flyers-penalty-killing-expanded-role-regular-season-20180912.html Quote If all goes well in training camp, Travis Konecny will have an expanded role with the Flyers this season. Coach Dave Hakstol plans to give the speedy Konecny a look-see on the penalty kill, which struggled mightily last season, and also has him penciled in as the top-line right winger, where he spent about half of the 2017-18 campaign. Hakstol's plans suit Konecny. "I've played some PK. I played a little in junior, and I played in World Juniors, too," he said after an informal practice attended by most veterans in Voorhees on Wednesday, two days before camp officially opens. "I love the PK. It's a big part of the game. Teams that finish near the top have one of the best PKs, so I think it's important that guys buy in. It's going to be a good opportunity for me." That almost seems to indicate a sure-thing 2nd line of JVR/Patrick/Voracek. I'd love to see Lindblom/Frost/Simmonds in camp. Oskar and Morgan clicked really well last night, and Frost has that dynamic element to his game that could help his wingers pot a lot of goals.

I guess i'm ok with this unless it start to impact his production on the 1st line. If the production is picked up more by the 2nd and 3rd line it shouldn't be a big deal. However as i said if it appears to be dragging him and his impact on the top line then i would want to look at another option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digityman Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Anybody going today? Would like to hear about it. I used to go every day at lunch when I worked in Voorhees. Was a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need speed and a scoring threat on the PK. Glad to see Konecny get the opportunity. My biggest concern is that he hurts himself blocking shots. That idea of that second line is really starting to grow on me, especially if Patrick takes a leap from where he left off last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My biggest concern is that he hurts himself blocking shots. Totally agree. Wasn't there a game last year where he blocked a shot twice in the same spot, and he looked to be in pain? He's already become the most dynamic player on the team in terms of energy and skill. His motor never quits and he makes things happen because of it. 36 minutes ago, vis said: That idea of that second line is really starting to grow on me, especially if Patrick takes a leap from where he left off last year. Yeah, and they are split up that way in camp. Group 1 has Coots, G, and TK, and Group 2 has JVR, Patrick, and Voracek. Group 1 (9:15 - 11:30 a.m.) Forwards 11 Travis Konecny 14 Sean Couturier 17 Wayne Simmonds 20 Taylor Leier 21 Scott Laughton 28 Claude Giroux 38 Corban Knight 40 Jordan Weal 42 Cole Bardreau 46 Mikhail Vorobyev 52 Greg Carey 63 German Rubtsov 65 Radel Fazleev 75 Pascal Laberge 76 Isaac Ratcliffe 81 Carsen Twarynski 82 Connor Bunnaman Defensemen 9 Ivan Provorov 26 Christian Folin 43 T.J. Brennan 60 Reese Willcox 61 Philippe Myers 79 Egor Zamula 72 David Drak 73 Frank Hora Goalies 37 Brian Elliott 41 Anthony Stolarz 79 Carter Hart Group 2 (12:15 p.m. to 2:30 p.m.) Forwards 12 Michael Raffl 15 Jori Lehterä 19 Nolan Patrick 22 Dale Weise 25 James van Riemsdyk 36 Colin McDonald 39 Tyrell Goulbourne 44 Phil Varone 48 Danick Martel 54 Oskar Lindblom 62 Nicolas Aube-Kubel 64 Maksim Sushko 68 Morgan Frost 74 Mike Vecchione 78 Matthew Strome 93 Jakub Voracek Defense 3 Radko Gudas 6 Travis Sanheim 8 Robert Hägg 53 Shayne Gostisbehere 58 Zach Palmquist 59 Mark Friedman 77 James de Haas 86 Wyatte Wylie Goaltender 30 Michal Neuvirth 34 Alex Lyon 67 Liam Hughes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OccamsRazor Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 Great to see Morin is back to skating. As well as Coots practicing with the team. Sadly i think the door is closing on Leier just not enough room barring a rash of injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJgoal Posted September 14, 2018 Share Posted September 14, 2018 On one hand, it makes some sense to try to even out the talent and have more than one defense pair. On the other hand, damn was that Provorov-Ghost pairing awesome to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that's true of Ghost. I definitely feel Ghost benefitted from Provo last year more than the opposite (the PP notwithstanding). Anyway, guess we'll see how things roll out. We can't forget Myers either. Another wildcard at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another wildcard at the moment. I know they tried getting Sanheim to play on the right, but it seems like they gave up on that. The problem with so many young guys is that I don't know who Hakstol would consider pairing together. I think my preference to start the season is: Provorov - Ghost Sanheim - Gudas Hagg - Myers Folin But I could see Hakstol being reluctant to pair a rookie and a second year guy together, which is why he's rolling Folin with Provorov. Provorov - Folin Ghost - Hagg Sanheim - Gudas You could try Myers with Provorov and see how that goes, too. I want to see Myers leave no doubt that he is a better player than Folin. I don't think beating out Brennan/Wilcox is enough to make the opening night squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
