Why Golden Knights won't pull goalie Carter Hart for Adin Hill

The Vegas Golden Knights haven't given backup goalie Adin Hill a chance.

It appears they'll be sinking or swimming with Carter Hart.

The Stanley Cup Final reaches Game 6 on Sunday night, and Vegas needs a win to prolong the series.

Hart hasn't really been good enough, which has raised the idea of pulling him for his backup.

Apparently, that's not an option.

Why won't Golden Knights pull Carter Hart for Adin Hill?

John Tortorella is simply sticking with Hart, the guy he has trusted since taking over the head coach job late in the regular season.

He was asked about this after Game 5, and he had a blunt response:

"Oh, for Christ — that could be the stupidest question I’ve heard.”

Hart has allowed at least four goals in each game of the Stanley Cup Final through five games. That had never been done before.

So he's been historically, consistently bad.

Tortorella simply doesn't think there's another option.

Whether he's right or not could decide this series.
