Alaska Darin Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Robin Lehner can play on my team as long as he wants.
26CornerBlitz Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 Robin Lehner can play on my team as long as he wants. I really like that Psycho Bastard! @BuffaloSabres SHUTOUT FOR THIS GUY! #SabresWin 2 goals for McGinn, 1 for Legwand, 1 for Reinhart. 2 assists for Eichel. 35 saves for Lehner. 2 points. #BUFvsCBJ
QCity Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Robin Lehner can play on my team as long as he wants. He dominated tonight. Starting to see why TM gave up that 1st.
YoloinOhio Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Well that was quite a performance! I was watching Eichel most of the time, first time I've seen him play live. He is very impressive. CBJ fans behind me taking about trading for him. Nearly spit out my beer laughing. Lehner is a savage.
26CornerBlitz Posted February 20, 2016 Author Posted February 20, 2016 @BuffNewsVogl Robin Lehner on Cody Franson and Zach Bogosian getting sent into boards: "It's disgusting."
JohnC Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 Robin Lehner looks like he could be a member of the Hells Angels and he has the tough demeanor of a leader of the pack. As others have said its obvious why Murray wanted to acquire him. Murray was once asked what type of goalie he was looking for? He said big.

As others have said its obvious why Murray wanted to acquire him. Murray was once asked what type of goalie he was looking for? He said big. He's big and athletic but the best part of his game is that he gives a **** about his teammates. Guys love playing for goalies like that. That look in his eyes after he went at Johnson was awesome.
QCity Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 That look in his eyes after he went at Johnson was awesome.
shrader Posted February 20, 2016 Posted February 20, 2016 He makes Johnson look like Gionta in that picture.
