And though Hart has clearly not been at his best, he isn\u2019t entirely alone in the goals against.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe could do a better job helping him out no doubt, for sure,\u201d defenseman Brayden McNabb<\/a>\u00a0said. \u201cWith goalies, as a player you\u2019re always evaluating what you could do and you\u2019re very rarely putting it on the goalie in my eyes. As a player you can always do something to make the goal not happen.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can be better around him, in front of our net, whatever it may be, but we have all the confidence in the world in \u2018Hartsy.\u2019 He\u2019s been great for us. He\u2019s the reason why we\u2019re here.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was a theme echoed in the room, that the team\u2019s defense has to improve in front of Hart. That is even more true when\u00a0Jordan Staal<\/a>\u00a0is on the ice, with Staal having scored six goals in five games in the Final after having scored two in 13 games in the first three rounds.<\/p>\n

But, like Tortorella, the Golden Knights are keeping their faith in Hart, that he can be better, that he can lead them to a Game 7. That he is the right goalie for the job.<\/p>\n

And if he needs any help in figuring out how to approach an elimination game, any thoughts on what to do or how to handle it, there\u2019s a locker not far away that holds a goalie that has lifted the Stanley Cup.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m here if he needs me,\u201d Hill said. \u201cSo if Carter wants to talk, I\u2019m here, and other than that, you kind of let the guy do his own thing. He\u2019s in his own zone right now, and just let him do his own thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf he wants any advice, I\u2019m more than happy to help. I\u2019ve told him anything he needs, he can come to me.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"And though Hart has clearly not been at his best, he isn\u2019t entirely alone in the goals against.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":735182,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[556],"tags":[64,63,575,85],"class_list":["post-735181","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735181","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=735181"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/735181\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/735182"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=735181"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=735181"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=735181"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
