MORE LIKE THE ROOKIE OF THE CENTURY...

Thanks...

Story from Global TV Edmonton about today's game. Carter Hart skated with Cam Talbot last summer and Hart called Talbot before his first start in Detroit. Food for thought as we think about potential vet backups, although Talbot's play doesn't argue for it.

SO AS YOU CAN SEE...HART= GOOD. MCDONALD=BAD.

This made me laugh for about a minute straight, no exaggeration. Giddy because of Carter, AMac (self explanatory on that one), then the little shot at the end by #14. Great stuff all around.

NHL: 2nd star of the week
NHLPA: star of the week

Not bad for 20 years old goalie.

One thing that has occurred to me about Hart is that in all these games where he's making 35 saves or whatever, most of them don't really look at that special. Like only maybe 2-3 per game are highlight quality. When you'd watch all those other duds who played goalie for us this year, it didn't look like they were letting in softies left and right, but obviously their performance was very subpar and way below Hart's level. I think Hart just shows the importance of playing the angles correctly and being sound positionally, giving yourself the best chance to have the puck hit you unless the shot is deflected or labelled for one of the top corners.

 

[Hiesenberg]

And nothing bothers him. He never seems out of control

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Yeah that too. He's got a great demeanor and just plays a very technically sound game. Doesn't seem like the type of guy who will suddenly lose his confidence after a bad game, or will get figured out by the league because he's got a significant weakness that hasn't been exploited yet.

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Did we really need another goalie though?

Yes, as it turns out, yes we did.

He crapped the bed against Carolina a few weeks ago, and now he's out there winning players of the month

 

[Ilkka Sinisalo]

Just dislike his first name.....

This is the best, given your new username.

 

[Embiid]

This is the best, given your new username.

That is why I am Carter Hart and not just Carter or Cartsie….

AMac goes total turn style on that play...

 

[Embiid]

Hextall said they had a little inside Intel as Brady Robinson the goalie development coach in the organization worked with him at Canada's camp. They like his athleticism & think he's not done growing. However they're really high on his mental makeup the most. They're pretty confident in him because of that.

We'll see how it goes over the years though.

Nice...proving himself much saner than Hak and Hextall...lol

 

[prototypical4thliner]

He’s gotta crush brodeurs win record like what next year? Two years top right?

[CanadianFlyer88]

Yes, as it turns out, yes we did.

Nice avy change.

Hart played two months in the AHL, and when he was called up to the NHL he has played well under Scott Gordon.

Your assumptions about how he would have played in the NHL under Dave Hakstol with the league's worst PK in front of him and with no chance to get acclimated to pro hockey at a lower level are just that, assumptions.

And assumptions about how him being scarred for life because he gave up some goals are worse than just assumptions.

I mean get real. I posit Hart would have been fine and playing like Carter Hart. Your belief is he would have been Michael Leighton?

 

[baudib1]

He would have been even better now if not for that Carolina game, which shattered his confidence and ruined him forever. Should have kept in minors.

[Hiesenberg]

The kid is just so f***ing sound.

I have almost no concerns about medium and low danger shots anymore. I still have some, it's almost like PTSD, but overall I just watch the game chilling, and now he pulls these Hasek saves out of his wazoo.

 

[Striiker]

In addition to all the on-ice stuff he does, he might’ve saved us like $10m in cap space by stopping us from making a dumb offer for Bob.

The cost on goaltending is an underrated thought process moving forward the next few years. If they decide to stick it out with Stolarz, or even a vet minimum guy. The Goalies will cost, maybe $2 million for the next 2-3 years? That allows for some heavy duty fun money for other areas *cough* KARLSSON *cough*

Hart tracks the puck as good or better than any goalie in the league, he’s rarely out of position, yes he gets beat but so does every goalie, I think what impresses me the most is his mental game, he’s grounded and mature beyond his years, not a hot head basically the opposite of Roy, what I’m looking forward to is the Flyers getting better on D, then this team could be scary
