Yikes Hart

I'm kind of starting to have that same feeling this season. His stats are horrible.

Come on, this is not on Hart .. 30 shots against in two periods is pathetic!

They are having defensive breakdowns all over the place, BUT he’s not making any big saves. He’s been terrible this season.

Hart has not been consistent this year.
- Buzzo

No, and neither has the team in front. Doesn’t make sense to blame the kid in net who is the only thing holding them in it most games.

Should have too Eddie O's advice and place the bet on more total goals than total TD in the super bowl.

I'm not with you on this one, Hart has been facing almost 40 shots a game, ANY goalie is going to look like this when its a shooting gallery out there!

The goals he has given up today, aside from the second one, have not been good.

That last one was NOT on Hart. You can't let Backstrom dance alone in front of the net with the puck and blame it on the goalie. That said, his stats this year are not good. That may be a related to poor defensive play but I think we've seen a number of goals that a top end goalie should make. NO! I'm not a hater. I'm just saying that I think he could be better.

Hart has been anything but a star today. Defense has been poor but he has to be better. Maybe time for more stick breaking. Moose to start third?

I think his play this year has been un-even...he’s been steady but not elite. The D doesn’t do him any favours, but he needs to play better. Honestly not overly worried about him....it will come.

Moose in the third?

No I need a Hart W

Agree, but sometimes your goalie just has to be your best player. Moose has been that at least twice this season.

In this game, and most games this season the gaps between the forwards and the Defense have been atrocious, allowing the opposing forwards to gain speed and odd man rushes, that is the biggest problem on the Flyers right now IMO. I honestly believe its not changing until Fletcher makes a trade to shake things up. The Flyers are not playing the system AV is teaching. Fletcher has got to stand by his coach and get him better players.

For example, consider Rask of the Bruins rarely has to face 30 shots a game, and he has great stats year in and year out. He is not better than Hart, but he has a team that executes a good system in front of him. The Flyers are not executing AVs system, slowing down the opposition and creating turnovers.

That shot by Ovie was a tough save for any goalie. He is so good at picking the corners and burying the puck.
Not every goal here is hart's fault
Let's also not forget that he is a kid playing against elite goal scorers here, one being the greatest goal scorer to ever play in the NHL. He will learn and grow with to. He is a very smart young kid

Flyers will be guaranteed to get the W if Laughton scores a hat trick

I think maybe he could occasionally be a little more aggressive with his poke check, but what do I know? However, for the most part it should not be expected for him to be a one man show on defense in tight.

I agree, Hart is the least of our problems on this team right now.

Key word here...is that 12 or more times per game...

Moose has been better this season. That 2nd goal against the B's the other night was brutal though.

If Moose played most nights, he would suck! He is fine as long as he plays every 4th or 5th game IMO.

Just win!

Hart still in 😍
