Flyers’ Travis Konecny gets called ‘a dirty player’ by Sharks defenseman

Philadelphia Flyers winger Travis Konecny rubs a whole lot of people the wrong way, and now it has led to some name-calling by a San Jose Sharks defenseman.

What’s Up With Timo Meier?

At Timo Meier’s best, he’s a barreling power forward who can run over people in his pursuit of the puck and the net. He fires one-timers, creates rebound after rebound, and is a 30-goal threat. At Timo Meier’s worst, he is a drifter. There does not seem to be a strong point to his game […]
