Prospect Info: Round 2, Pick 48, Carter Hart, G, Everett (WHL)

[Curufinwe]

Since I haven't been around here too long, it has become a new favorite game of mine to go back to the first page of a thread to see what people said.

There are some good ones in these draft pick threads.

It pays not to say anything too outrageous.

Cool article. You definitely have to master the mental aspect of playing goalie.

Interesting it mentioned Talbot and Holtby as guys who give him tips/critiques.
Wonder if he'd really like Talbot as his backup.

Edit - It was in the Hart interview he mentioned Talbot. My bad.

It pays not to say anything too outrageous.

Or to think really any fan's takes on drafting have any credence. I try my best to follow prospects just to have familiarity, but there's too many for me to know anything about anyone or pretend that like, I can say "Oh they already have 4-5 goalies in the pipeline they should've selected a defenseman in this spot."

I haven't analyzed the goalie they picked, nor closely tracked the progress of the 4-5 already in the system, who am I to say anything there? Always kills me when people come out on these boards on draft day and say what their team SHOULD have done.

Fletcher is gonna watch him like a "hawk"....oh wait..that was what control freak Hextall said about Ghost when he was first brought up due to an injury. The rest is history...

Dude loved hoarding picks then treated his prospects like they were in detention lol

Hey man, gotta tell you that, I saw someone call Hart the best goalie in the history of the NHL earlier today, I could not believe it.

Aside from the excitement of watching a competent goalie for the season.

We get a Carter Hart stadium series jersey/helmet/pads

 

[Bruckuss]

I REALLY want to see him rack up the wins, but I kind of want to see us lose for Hughes or Kakko, wtf has happened to me in the Hakenhex years?

Just remember that we've had people who thought Brandon Manning and Dave Hakstol were good.

I just bought my tickets for the game. Its time for me to get a Hart jersey for the game. You've inspired me

I know it is early and he is young and everything but good grief man this kid looks like the realest deal in net that I have ever seen in a Flyers jersey (meaning guys I have actually seen play, so no Lindbergh, Parent, etc.). Every single game this team has a chance. Imagine if we had a good defense!!!

Hart is the real deal, what can be misleading is how efficient he is, no wasted motion.
You can see the improvement since he was promoted, more relaxed in the net, even more control of his side to side movement.
But not a lot of spectacular saves, because he's always in position and doesn't have to make those desperation moves very often.
Ask Laine whether Hart is a top goalie, I think he's still talking to himself.

I've seen Bernie and Pelle too, and he has a chance to be as good as them one day. Hexy's rookie year was pretty special - he was unbeatable. Later they figured out his five-hole was weak. Hart needs to keep developing - he's going to be tested harder and harder, more traffic/contact, etc. What I like most is the confidence he inspires in his teammates. The whole team plays better when they know the goalie has their back.

It's my personal hockey mantra: the team that usually wins is the team that loves its goalie the most.

If your goalie competes, and never gives up, the team has motivation to give extra effort on the backcheck, blocking shots, etc. and the confidence to go for it on offense knowing every mistake isn't going in your own net.

as far as command of his net, and controling a game. bernie is the most comparable that i have seen, of all flyers goaltenders.
