But then you bring in a coach in Tortorella who has the opposite bias.
He coached Carter Hart.
in Philadelphia, and he had no problems.
He came in, and the moment Carter Hart was healthy, not only did he play him, it wasn't like he alternated the two and said, let's see who is the hot guy going into the playoffs.
He came in and gave Carter Hart the starting job immediately, and
We saw a different version of Carter Hart, and I think it took all the way until the second round of the playoffs for him to really find his game.
Obviously, he hadn't played hockey in a long time.
There's going to take some runway for him to get his timing back, and I thought that late in the regular season, he showed some flashes.
He went 6-0 down the stretch, but I didn't think he was particularly sharp himself.
In that first round series against Utah, it started a little rough.
They lost two of the first three games.
One of them up in Utah, I thought was on Carter Hart.
He let in a few softies and they only gave up like, I think 12 shots that night and they lost.
But then you start to see it as that series goes on.
He starts to find his game against Anaheim.
He was lights out against Colorado.
He was okay game one against Carolina.
