He did. If anyone was there it's an easy cover.

The Lehner supporters are awfully quiet tonight. Been sayin’ Lehner is garbage since last year.

I'm here. Not a lot of goalies are going to look stellar with the group of D men they're icing tonight. I knew they'd struggle but this is baaaaad

I’m about done with Lehner
He couldn’t do much on the 3rd goal...
but the 1st was pretty much all his fault,
and he had horrible rebound control on a weak shot on goal number 2 (although wtf was Tennyson doing? Can we please bring up Guhle for him?!)

I keep wanting to be wrong about him
But I’m just not a fan at all

Glad I was watching Oklahoma state vs Oklahoma for the start of this one
Back to football

This game sucks


Ps.
Chad Johnson hasn’t looked good this year either...
I think Goalie is a position we are gonna need to figure out for next season & beyond

Not comparable. The NHL's ice time leader isn't playing tonight. Justin Falk is on the top pair. Anyone reading the tea leaves knew that tonight was going to be bad

does anyone on this roster give a poop that we are down 4-0 15 minutes into the game? Is a (frank)ing fight too much to ask for? Play with some passion for f sake.

He mishandled both dude. Sorry you like him too much to see it.

Sure the D is bad. THEY WERE WRIST SHOTS FROM FAR OUT

That’s fair,
but Lehner was pretty bad on the first 2 goals
3rd wasn’t his fault at all imo
I’ve been trying to stay open minded & give him his chance to prove me wrong,
but I just don’t see him as our goalie of the future
I’m about done with him

Can I ask what it is u like about him?
Bc I just don’t see it

I like Lehner.

But he blows. There's no way to spin it.

We should have kept Neuvirth.

The scarier problem is he's not really the stop gap to anyone. Ullmark's numbers in Roch don't really warrant a call up either and Luukonen is 2 years away from being 2 years away.

On top of all the adds they already need, they might need 2 new goalies

Good point
How about Nolan?
Being down 4-0, it’s not like he’s gonna be getting much icetime anyways!

Could he have handled them better? Sure, but having zero backup made those easy goals. Had McCabe, or anyone, been there it's an easy cover. Your hatred blinds you to that fact.

The system allows the opposition to stand wide open in front of the net. Rinne used to be good, and then that system started and he sucked.

My positive spin to this is they look significantly worse without risto which is good cause there was a time where i was worried that may not be the case. Its a shame he got hurt just as his game was taking that next step.

Size, competitiveness, etc. The stuff he's known for. He's not my favorite goalie of all time or anything, but I do think he's highly skilled. Idk what he could have done on that second goal either with his whole team collapsing in on him.

Blaming him for tonight's loss is like blaming Miller for the ECF loss. At some point the loss of D men is too much to bear

I like Ullmark as the backup next year,
but I think we need a starter for at least 2-3yrs until Luukkonen is hopefully ready to take over

Im hoping at some point he gets a long look at the back up spot this year just to see what they really have in him.

this is an obvious overreaction but im curious why mittelstadt is safe. Why does someone with mid first round pick USHL stats and 9 games of college hockey safe?


If they shop everyone and anyone for a top d-man and the only deal they can find involves moving mittelstadt we say no? We turn down a bonafide top pair guy for 9 college games and 0 nhl points?
