When he performs awesome later tonight I will be back in here to say my congrats.

1.000 Save Percentage so far

 

[LarKing]

Hart was solid. Wings didn’t challenge him much but he made the saves he was supposed to. Congrats.

 

[Rebels57]

Flyers played their best D of the year but Hart had to make 3 or 4 real good saves still. More importantly, he looked incredibly confident and comfortable. His attention to technique is so fun to watch.

Im not sure if he is here to stay yet, but he is not far away from being a full-time NHL goalie.

 

[McNurse]

I didn’t watch the game personally, and just from stat watching and what people have said, I’m guessing he looked pretty good tonight? He’s my favourite goaltending prospect and think he has huge potential, so if anyone can chime in on how he looked it would be appreciated

 

[Dominance]

Nice to see Hart get his first win even as a Pens fan.

#StarterHart is UNDEFEATED!

Flyers D was solid and Detroit didn’t challenge Hart very much so he took the 1st star of the game but he didn’t stole the game in any way.

It was a beautiful game for us.

Was the two goals he let in soft or were they more on the D?

Was the two goals he let in soft or were they more on the D?

No soft goals. One PP goal and the other one was a guy left alone in front of the net.

It really really was a team win but Hart played his part and that only is spectacular for a 20 years old goalie.

 

[mja]

Was the two goals he let in soft or were they more on the D?

He had no shot on the first goal. Was completely screened and the shot sniped the stick-side top corner.

Second goal was a bit of a flukey bang-bang play practically on the doorstep with poor defensive coverage. It was stoppable but it wasn't egregious.

But why number #79, you asked?

« The tiny faces and beaming smiles were always there in the players' tunnel, the first two hopping on their toes to provide the perfunctory fist pump for everyone who stepped on and off the ice for the Everett Silvertips. Carter Hart was instantly drawn to them since he arrived to play as a 16-year-old in the Western Hockey League — Connor, a 7-year-old autistic boy, and Cavan, a 6-year-old, who were both at every Everett home game.

Carter Hart ;

“My first development camp with the Flyers they gave me 79, just because the rookies get the higher numbers,” said Hart, who turned 20 on August 13 and wore No. 70 in Everett and will wear No. 31 for the Lehigh Valley Phantoms.

“When I came back to Everett, Connor was there waiting for me, like he usually did, and he was yelling at me trying to show me his new jersey. He had a Flyers’ jersey with Hart No. 79 on the back. When I saw that, I decided I had to stick with No. 79, because there is a No. 79 out there. »

“I probably would have stuck with No. 70, because that was my number in juniors. But because Connor had the Hart No. 79 Flyers’ jersey on, I realized I couldn’t change the jersey number now. I didn’t think Connor would have been too happy if I had the wrong jersey with the wrong number on the back. Because it was Connor, he was one of our biggest fans and it was really cool how much love Connor and Cavan gave us. To them, they’re 6, 7 years old, they look up to us. I couldn’t let them down. »

He's the 15th player in NHL history to wear #79, only Markov, Yashin and Ferland have had better careers than him.

This shows what kind of person Hart is.

As did the post game video of him, his family, and his billet....wanting his billet to be in all the pictures and telling the billet to hold the game puck.

Class 1 kid.

All have been ruined for starting too early...

Most if not all of them returned to play some more minor pro before sticking in though. Hope Flyers send him back at some point.

Reading this story is impressive. This NJ fan and father is now a Carter Hart fan. Thanks for all who share this glimpse into the real player. Great great stuff. I hope those two kids get some quality time with him once he is established in the NHL. It will mean the world to them.
