Nonono Coaches and management are the real devils here. Players never drink on the job or put themselves first

Are you implying they drink during games or practices?

I'm implying Robin had a problem of showing up to the rink drunk as a skunk

What's wrong with having a shot of whiskey and a dart down the tunnel every other shift?

I love robin's candor. He has been thru something and is a big mental health advocate. If teams are handing out meds, thats a problem. This is no different than when NFL teams were shooting guys up with pain meds and then surprised that there were drug issues once the player was no longer part of their team.

Hockey guys dont seem to be big advocates for themselves but a few higher profile suicides are changing the dialogue.

He's trying to start dialog that needed to begin long ago. Not just for Hockey but in general. He's said on numerous occasions that he's doesn't hate the league or is trying to attack Hockey. It's quite the opposite.

You think Robin knows what hes talking about? He cant put a real sentence together.... The guy is completely mental.

Top 10 goalie in the league and he still continues to throw shade back at the Sabres for his mis-treatment from 4 years ago



Attacks a coach that has never dealt with him... accuses coaches and management of giving players pills they shouldn't be.

There are times and places to talk about those things. Ranting on twitter ain't it.


Trying to hold the league hostage saying you'll release a story everyday until things change..... whelp... really trying to make the league a better place eh

I had a period time working for a dumpster fire of a company while my career hung the balance(cause I allowed it)...I can relate. Most people probably could.

You seem a little butt-hurt, maybe you suffer from some of the same things Lehner does and should seek help

Nothing wrong with him calling the Sabres trash. They're literally operated by various items that were salvaged from a dump

He's no more qualified than you or I. But you appear already on the defensive and action packed with vitriol. Why should I value your input on the subject? You don't sound very well adjusted.

He can form sentences just fine. Maybe hear him out:

I could care less about my dumpster fire organization.

He made the league look worse than it already does. If your a fan of the league and are commending Lehner you are the problem.

Maybe he does know some things, maybe the league could be better. Ranting on twitter, putting half the league on blast aint it...

If he feels nobody at the league would listen to him, what do you suggest he do about it? Just mutter it over and over to himself in the mirror and hope something happens about it?

Keep in mind Lehner suffers from a number of disorders

Keep showing your ignorance punk. Having his disorder doesn’t make him a liar.

I’m fine with players on social media if they back it up with facts & action. In Lehners case he oughta take it over the goal line or shut da eff up.

Give him a rest. He is on your team now and by all accounts fitting in well.

It's a joke.

Also, no. Of course they're going to let him be. they pretty much have to. There isn't a different option.

RL talks crap about the League and Teams that have paid him and continue to pay him Millions of dollars to play a game. I know he has some mental issues and I can relate for sure, but Robyn don't bite the had that feeds you. you have not played for the Sabres in 4 years, why do you continue to bash them? Did the Sabres come out and bash you for being Drunk everyday, hung over for games and playing like a pile of shat? No they got you help and treated you like a human being and not just property. Did you not come out and applaud the Sabres for helping you during your struggles? now all you do is talk shat.... Move on Bro.

Well the entire premise of what he's saying is that nobody seems to actually be doing anything other than saying the right things, so in his eyes nobody is doing what he feels is an adequate job. So....

So he should put 'em all on blast on the biggest public forum on the internet?

Even the guys that have never coached him or even spoke to him?

That seems like a great idea



Don't play dumb you know there are countless better ways to handle the situation.

Do you even know how it all started? It had nothing to do with Robin.
