Vegas Golden Knights goalie Carter Hart says Hurricanes fans' 'no means no' chants are 'just noise'

Still, the NHL released a statement saying that "the conduct at issue falls woefully short of the standards and values that the League and its Member Clubs expect and demand."

But, of course, opposing fans have been using what has happened off ice to their advantage.

"It's just noise. I mean, both atmospheres and both buildings have been really loud and just a lot of fun to play in," Hart said about the chants on Saturday. "Yeah, just noise."

That's a good way to look at it from a competitor's perspective, but it might be working.

It's wild to see a goalie getting scored on like that still in the net, but this series has been so unusual, with Carolina giving up a similarly high number of goals until switching from Frederik Andersen to Brandon Bussi, who gave up three goals in Game 4 and two in Game 5.

It's wild to see a goalie stay in the net after giving up that many goals, but this series has been anything but normal. Carolina also surrendered a high number of goals before switching from Frederik Andersen to Brandon Bussi, who allowed three goals in Game 4 and two more in Game 5.

Hart won't have to deal with the chants at home, but he's still giving up a lot of goals.

If Vegas wants any hope of forcing Game 7, they're going to need better play in net.
