So... Let's talk Konecny

[Hockeypete49]

His goal today should be a GOTY candidate

I agree not just the moves but who he did it to.

 

[Flyerfan13]

Tk will definitely be a fan favorite for many years

 

[Striiker]

Boy oh boy, who could have guessed he'd start scoring as soon as he was saved from the 4th line?

 

[LegionOfDoom91]

I’m giving Boruk some credit for sending some good voodoo his way.

Lol on the broadcast today, Edzo and Pierre were fawning over Hakstol for knowing exactly when to move Konecny up from the bottom 6 and giving him credit for TK’s performance. Because he’s dealt with a lot of under and upper classmen and knows when to give them more responsibility.

I had to go to the ER afterwards and missed the rest of the game because my eyeballs got stuck mid-roll. They fixed one eye but the other is permanently damaged.

He already is fan fave. Best winger we drafted since when? 2007?

f***ing hell...

How is it that even some idiot like me on the internet has more common sense when it comes to hockey than people who have worked in hockey related jobs for LITERALLY DECADES?

I'm dumb as f*** and somehow these guys are even worse.

 

[Magua]

With these versions of Giroux and Couturier, and his insane chemistry with the former especially, I have no doubt TK will be one of the best scoring ES players in the league over the next few years. And he’ll only get better and more well-rounded and help them more as they age.

Question to scoring upside just comes down to PP. Does he have a future PP1 spot? I’m not totally sure. Even on merit, don’t know. PP was never his forte. It’s the difference between potentially 55-60 points (with his 5v5 skill and assumed PP2 scoring) and 80.

Either way, give the kid his 6 year x $4.5 mil contract please, Ronald.

So who then Sharp? Williams?

 

[Rebels57]

Yep Sharp

 

[MacDonald4MVP]

Yep Sharp

f*** you hitch. At least he was the tits in his time, north dakotan wonder is 20 years behind and he would suck even back then.

 

[Doodootheclown]

He's one of those players that when he has the puck on his stick you can hear the crowds anticipation of something great

 

[baudib1]

I still expect Konecny to get traded for 2 picks in 2020.

 

[deadhead]

TK is still a work in progress, and he admits it.
Today, brutal turnover in the 1st period, and after Mrazek saved his bacon, you could see him thanking his goalie for covering his butt on his mindfart.

The raw talent is exceptional, the key is him not turning out like Voracek, where his screw ups negate too many great plays. Rather, turn out like a more talented version of Giroux (he'll never be a playmaker like G, but is faster and more physical, rather, just develop the ice sense to cut out a lot of the bad plays).

 

[pit]

Did they run out of room in the dressing room and move Manning's locker outdoors?

You know what they say about opinions and assholes!

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

I wish I could of kept Konecny in both of my fantasy leagues, but I traded him to help make my team better... and I had too many Flyers players on one of the teams . Traded Konecny for William Karlsson (don't ask me why this happened) and then I flipped Karlsson for Evander Kane + 7th overall in a full keeper league. We're moving to shots next season, so Kane's points, shots and hits help a butt ton and the high pick is just very nice .

But yeah, Konecny is so damn fun to watch.

 

[YEM]

he reminds me of Briere

 

[dingbathero]

He plays as hard as Gallagher and pesters - I liken him to an early version of Cliff Ronning.

Do you ever read back what you have posted and pee your pants laughing?

So the important question is: Have we settled on a nickname finally?

He's going to be "Neck" - anything more than that is going to be try-hard garbage. Take it from me, I would know.
