Flyers' Travis Konecny says it's time to start believing in the team's chances, not just winning one game against a top opponent. In recent games, Konecny has shown increased energy and production, scoring his 500th career point and contributing to the team's success on offense.
Konecny believes that the Flyers have proven they can compete with the best teams in the league, so why not expect them to be right there with them? The veteran winger is playing a more opportunistic game as the season wears on, allowing himself to take advantage of scoring chances.
The Flyers are now 16-9-3, and their recent success has helped them stay up in the Eastern Conference Wild Card picture. They've also shown resilience by adapting to injuries to key players, including Tyson Foerster and Cam York.
One player who's stepped up in this time is Emil Andrae, a defenseman who fed Konecny on his goal against the Avalanche and had another excellent play earlier in the game. Coach Rick Tocchet praised Andrae for his energy and hockey IQ, saying he was "very good tonight" and that his ability to skate and be aggressive makes him an important part of the team's defense.
The Flyers are set to face a tough test against the Vegas Golden Knights on Thursday night. In a surprise move, coach Bruce Cassidy announced that Akira Schmid would start in net for the Golden Knights instead of Carter Hart, who was acquired by the team earlier this month but did not start due to the decision.
Hart's recent return from a leave of absence and his history with a sensitive scandal have made it difficult for him to regain trust in Philadelphia. The Flyers' coaching staff has chosen to manage their expectations, focusing on finding success without Hart instead of putting pressure on him to perform immediately.
In the meantime, Konecny continues to be a key player for the team, using his energy and opportunistic playmaking skills to drive offense and contribute to the team's success.

and Emil Andrae is a total beast on defense 
. the fact that they can adapt to injuries and still be competitive is really impressive... i think this team has what it takes to make a deep playoff run 
. Carter Hart just got back from his leave of absence and I feel like he should get another chance to prove himself... but at the same time, I guess the coach wants to manage expectations for now 
. Anyway, Travis Konecny's energy is definitely infectious and he's doing some cool things on the ice 
️!
, I think it's awesome that Travis Konecny is believing in the team's chances now. He's been on fire lately, scoring those 500th career points and contributing so much to their success. And I love how coach Rick Tocchet has praised Emil Andrae for his energy and hockey IQ - he's definitely an important part of the team's defense 
That 500th career point was sick! 
Andrae's been step upmin' his game too, look at that guy go! 
85% of their goals come from the blue line, that's some crazy stats! 
They're adaptin' to injuries and it's payin' off. I think they got this Wild Card thing in the bag! 
But Vegas is gonna be tough, you know? That Schmid kid's gettin' a chance but Hart's still gotta prove himself... let's see how that plays out! 
! Now, I know Hart's been acquired and all, but let's be real, Konecny's the one carrying this team right now 
. The Flyers' coaching staff needs to keep on faith with him and not put too much pressure on Hart just yet. They're on a roll and need to stay that way until they can solidify their roster 
. And btw, have you seen Emil Andrae's play lately? He's like a dark horse in the Flyers' defense 
!
! He's been bringing the heat on the ice lately and I think it's about time we started believing in our Flyers team 
. They've shown they can hang with the best teams, so why not expect them to be right there with them? It's all about confidence now, folks 
️!
Still, at least Konecny is delivering, and Andrae's been on fire lately
