So much has changed for Carter Hart since his last Stanley Cup playoffs run. The one constant is his stellar play in net.In 2020, he was a 21-year-old starting goaltender for the Philadelphia Flyers, going 9-6 in their run to the second round in the Eastern Conference during the Toronto bubble, posting a .926 save percentage and two shutouts.After serving time in hockey exile while mired in the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal for which he was acquitted Hart joined the Vegas Golden Knights last December. He's sparked them in these playoffs, going 9-4 and helping the Golden Knights steal home ice with a 4-2 win at top-seeded Colorado in the opener of their Western Conference Final on Wednesday night.We know theyre a good team," said Hart, who has a .920 save percentage in these playoffs while allowing just 2.35 goals per game. We know they got a lot of skill on their team and we respect that, but you cant respect them too much. And I thought we did a good job of defending and limiting their time in space and I thought we blocked a lot of shots tonight and got in a lot of lanes and tied up some sticks.Hart was stellar in stopping the pucks that reached him, turning away 36 of 38 shots. The only ones he allowed to get through were a between-the-legs aberration by Valeri Nichushkin and a late goal from Gabe Landeskog when the Avs had pulled goaltender Scott Wedgewood on a power play for a two-man advantage.Carter Harts a hell of a goalie, said Golden Knights coach John Tortorella, who took over in Vegas on March 29 and who also coached Hart in Philadelphia. "He was great in Philly for me, and weve got two good ones, you know. (Adin Hill)'s kind of been put off to the side a little bit, thats a guy that just won a Stanley Cup a couple years ago. "But Carter, I think hes grown so strong mentally. I dont think much bothers him. He is just zeroed in. And hes going to have to be, because weve got a lot of work to do here.The respect is mutual.Yeah, I think hes done a great job coming in here, Hart said. Its never easy coming in late in the season like he did and I think hes done a tremendous job of just rallying the group and earning the guys trust and I really enjoy playing for him. I enjoyed playing for him in Philly and Im happy hes here.Beginning in early 2024, Hart was placed on an indefinite leave of absence from hockey after he was charged in connection with an alleged sexual assault involving members of Canadas 2018 world junior team as part of the Hockey Canada sexual assault scandal; he was acquitted of all charges last year and resumed his career with Vegas.The league reviewed the case and agreed to allow the acquitted defendants to play starting Dec. 1, 2025. Hart was the first of those five Canada junior players to agree to an NHL deal, signing a two-year, $4 million contract before working with Vegas American Hockey League affiliate in Henderson, Nevada.After he agreed to sign, Hart read a statement to reporters that, in part, said he wanted to show the community my true character and who I am and what Im about.He's also showing how much help he can be for Vegas' hopes of winning another Stanley Cup. He made 10 stops in the scoreless first period as the Golden Knights served notice that they weren't going to be like the Los Angeles Kings or Minnesota Wild, who went a combined 1-8 against Colorado in prior rounds.Its huge, Hart said. To come out like we did, I thought we came out really good in the first period and I know this is a hard building to play in and it was huge for us just to get rolling and just start off the right way and then build off that.___AP NHL: https://apnews.com/hub/stanley-cup and https://apnews.com/hub/nhl

Schadenfreude is one of the greatest German words in existence and something that is prevalent in English football but not used enough.As a Spurs fan, I like to call it Schaden-Freund after our Euro-winning defensive midfielder from the 90s, Steffen.For those not familiar with sporting teutonic dialogue, Schadenfreude is 'the feeling of pleasure, joy or satisfaction derived from learning about or witnessing the troubles, failures or humiliation of others'. For Spurs fans at the moment, there's not a lot of that about; for Arsenal, there's bucketloads.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayTottenham Hotspur are having their season horribilis, which at the time of writing involves a relegation battle, yet resolved, while Arsenal, our greatest rivals, have won their first Premier League title in 22 years and find themselves in the Champions League Final.What I'm actually getting at is the amount of people who keep asking me how I feel about Arsenal winning the title and potentially the big double. The answer is - not great.Any team that wins the Premier League title deserves it over 38 games, no matter how many VAR decisions go their way (OK, slight bitterness there).LATEST SPORTS NEWSFA to 'investigate Southampton over spygate scandal' as football's governing body releases statementUnai Emery hails Aston Villa players after Europa League triumph: 'We are kings together'Harry Kane speaks ahead of World Cup with England star believing 'squad is as good as we've had'But whereas talking about Spurs' lack of anything near success on TV can be quite cathartic, discussing Arsenal and how good they are is not.I'd love to be a completely neutral, balanced sports anchor, but my Achilles heel (makes a change from an ACL) is Tottenham Hotspur Football Club, which then prevents me from supporting the English team in the Champions League Final. I know it's petty, but to be honest, I just always preferred the Champs-lyses to Islington High Street. I will be speaking my CSE Level French on May 30, along with my one word of German.Schadenfreude.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
