Who needs "The Monster" when we have Robin "Real Estate" Lehner!

Cowen ran the show in the WHL at 16. It's almost unimaginable to think what he could accomplish two years later with no draft to worry about and a virtually assured spot on the 2010-2011 Senators.

Man...that is scary about Cowen.

speaks really good for the Junior team, provided Cowen is going to play for them this December (and I wouldn't see why not)

If there ever was a lock for that team, it's Cowen. Now, hopefully Wiercioch can join him.

Dung, Lehner has the H9N1 virus - confirmed.

Wow, that's horrible! The H1N1 is bad enough. This H9N1 must be, like nine times worse!

Actually, H9N1 is a real strain.

But not the one listed in the article.

Sorry, my bad, it was the H1N1 obviously, NOT the H9N1.

Uh...so Lehner got his first career OHL shutout tonight. Stopped 27 shots in a 7-0 victory.

Robbin' Lehner.

EDIT: Yes, this is fluff

But seriously, good on him. And 27 shots is a nicer number to have to face than some totals we've seen this year.

Excellent. Hope he likes how that feels and wants more.

So, realistically, does he skip the AHL next year? I don't think he needs any more "maturing" physically, and as a backup he does not need to be able to handle playing 65+ games in a season. If he skips the AHL, whom do we move?

Beauty.

I'm not sure he'll skip the AHL but I'm pretty sure he'll be in the NHL in 2 years or less.

Does anybody else think it's funny that Gustavsson is touted as being "the Monster" and so huge, when just about every other goalie in the league is the same size (or an inch shorter). I'm pretty sure the average height of goalies in the league is somewhere between 6'1 and 6'2, and Gustavsson is 6'3, 192. What's even funnier, is the fact that Justin Pogge- one they just got rid of, was the same size.

Perhaps even funnier, is the fact that we've got Lehner, who is 6'4, 220 lbs. Man, THAT guy is a monster. REAL ESTATE is such a great nick name for the guy.

I don't think so Prags. I think he spends the entire year next year in Bingo - hopefully leading them to the playoffs and hopefully playing well.

The big question is: does he play a 2nd year in Bingo, or does he come up to Ottawa to back-up (and probably challenge for starter)?

Lehner may turn out to be our best pick in a long time. Better than Karlsson, even.

He might be the top prospect we have aside from Cowen. And he might even be more valuable because of the position he plays.

Fingers crossed as usual.

Yay Lehner!!! I'm sooooo excited about him, I can't wait to see him in Sens colors.

Is he back from the flu yet?

Uh...yeah, he got a shutout last night.
