The changes won’t be visible to anyone on the outside, Konecny said. They’ll come in little self reminders about making sure he focuses on the right details and is in the right spots. However, those reminders, both from within and in John Tortorella’s coaching, will hopefully lead to results, ones that Fletcher is keeping an eye out for.
Konecny believes he can get be that guy, and in Day 2 of training camp, he demonstrated by peppering the goalies with shots, “buzzing” around in sprints and scoring an early goal.When Tortorella first arrived in Philadelphia, he said he was given the impression the locker room was “splintered.” On the first day of training camp, Tortorella clarified what he meant.
Laughton said the guys, himself included, need to do a better job of demanding more out of each other and themselves. He thinks Tortorella’s training camp is setting the foundation for that change. After Tortorella strongly suggested in a letter to the team that they all return early, Kevin Hayes put together a golf trip to Boston. Back in Philadelphia, the guys hung out and skated and hit around some golf balls locally, and last week, it all culminated in a large family get-together at Nic Deslauriers’ house.
