A vet in the AHL will absolutely have a little more success than a guy like Lehner because the game is different and he knows how to play it. Lehner plays well when there is some structure in the game, where players know what they are doing and what their jobs actually are.
Like I said, give Lehner a team that he trusts and see where it goes. He's shown what he can do when he trust his D and the player sin front of him does his job.
You're correct but it'd be more impressive if he could play better despite the awful team in front of him. Getting that kind of experience would be useful. For all the Lehner hype, it's a bit disappointing we have to make excuses for him.
Like I said Emery played in Bingo for 3 years, why can't Lehner ?
It's a lost cause. Nobody wants to blame Lehner for his own poor play. Having said that, I do agree that a better calibre of hockey might help him.
My own son had a terrible year of Major Midget (House League) Hockey and only let in 1 goal in 2 days of Junior B tryouts and no goals on 17 shots in 1 period of Exhibition.
it's settled then. Sign SSF's son immediately. Make sure that the contract guarantees the no matter which sub he buys at Subway - it will be $5 CDN - tax in.
He's not 18 yet! Haha. By the way, he bought me a steak sub last night. Seriously. Not only that but the Manager is friendly with him so he was charged for a Meatball and got free cookies.
