Inside Philadelphia Flyers goalie Carter Hart's nightmare season

"You were the chosen one!"

Every time I look at the stats for Philadelphia Flyers goalie Carter Hart this season, I think of Obi-Wan Kenobi screaming that line at Anakin Skywalker in "Revenge of the Sith," and not just because Gen Xers like myself incessantly relate everything back to Star Wars. (It is ... our destiny.)

At just 22 years old, Hart was the heir to the Canadian goaltending empire. He was the solution to the net-minding riddle that had perplexed the Flyers for decades. Maybe he wouldn't be the next goalie run out of Philadelphia.
