Love the Konecny pick at 24.   The kid is blazing fast, is great with the puck, and is nasty as farg out there.

Hexy's killing it tonight.

whoa maybe not...

"A talented scoring forward that can play either as a center or on the wing; plays with the bite and intensity of a guy who is willing to do anything to win a game. Possesses dynamic skating ability that allows him to accelerate rapidly with each step, incredible hockey sense, electrifying puckhandling skills, and a lightning release on his shot; when you put this skillset together with hard-nosed determination, proactiveness in all three zones, and a physical willingness to grind and persevere, you get a game-changer who can be extremely difficult to play against."


"Travis Konecny has excellent speed, and tremendous acceleration. He utilizes it both on the rush, and to be a cannonball on the forecheck. He has good balance and is strong on his skates.  This helps him to to grind in the corners, work in the cycle game, or fight through checks to get to the front of the net.  Konecny has strong agility and combines that with his great stickhandling to elude defenders and create plays.  His speed must be respected as he can take a defender wide and cut to the net.  This gives him the ability to slow up quickly and create shooting or passing lanes. Add to this great vision and passing ability and Konecny is the type of player who can make his linemates better. He also has a strong wrist shot and a good release. The good stickhandling and soft hands also come in handy for Konecny when he gets close to the net, as he can beat goalies in close, or can tip in shots, or pounce quickly on rebounds. He has the versatility to play centre, right wing, and even play the point on the powerplay at times."


"Quick and spirited scoring forward, Konecny projects as a top six sniper who can play anywhere in the top nine. Despite being undersized, he plays with good physicality and won't back down from highly contested areas. Konecny's playing style resembles a player like Phil Kessel in the way that he can unleash a shot in mid-stride."

craig button who is the god at this stuff has him as a fire plug type who needs to improve his skating....in this case he seems like the only one

[Rome]

I posted the highlight video.  Please just watch it for yourself.   We're always bitching that the Flyers get guys with cement in their skates.  I don't know how he did it but Hexy nailed this guy who fell 5-10 spots further than he should have.  Dude's a player, man.

So what has been a giant roster hole since Pronger went mooshbrain is now potentially the team's biggest strength. I am feeling something I haven't felt in a while. Hope.

If Hextall can clear off any of the bad contracts today I might really start springing a rubbery bone.

thinly veiled do whatever you have to do to get vinny out of town post

I didn't intend to veil it at all. farg Vinny and his anchor of a contract. Never understood the signing in the first place and his sissybitch attitude coupled with the predictable lack of production means he needs to be launched into space. Stat.
