What is your question for him?

Meh, dont really have any, haha. I know all I want to know about him from what Ive seen and heard. Lehner and Peterson are my 2 fav prospects by a mile. The guy doesnt give a Dung about anything else other then winning, that is all I need or want to know. He's gonna do what ever it takes and with the way Elliott has shown he can be a number 1, he has a ton of time to play a ton of mins in The AHL for th enext year or two.

That's diddling awesome. I just sent a mass PM saying there was a good chance, so hopefully people ask some good questions.

I thought I posted a final score, but apparently it didn't go through on the BB.

Final score, 4-1 SSM. Lehner - 49 saves

Brampton doubled their shot total in the 3rd period!! Lehny was the first star. I managed to capture some video of him from directly behind him, I will try to get it on youtube.

Damn! I'm so looking forward to seeing this kid in Ottawa in a few years.

By a "few", you mean "two" right?

This is my question...or questions.

When did you decide you wanted to be a goaltender, did your father get you into it or did you decide as a young man that was what you wanted to be?

Who is your favorite all time NHL goaltender? Who would you compare yourself to style-wise?

I have 3 questions:

1) Paper or plastic?

2) How much wood could a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

3) Are you aiming to move into the AHL next season, or are you looking to take the starter's job in Ottawa? (This should be an obvious answer, but I want to see HOW he answers.)

um yes. Can your dad please be our goaltending coach? Thanks!

And while we're serious, has he been given any nicknames yet by his teammates?

I thought they called him "Real Estate" cause he's so big.

I would ask for his impressions of North American Hockey and what the smaller ice surface has changed in his game

I heard the Soo guys call him "Lenny"

When you were at camp with the Senators, did Eli Wilson try to teach you how to lose your net and over challenge the shooters ?

But there's so much more potential! His name is Robin!!!!

I think Lenny refers to his last name.

I got that

I meant the name Robin is popular in mainstream media (a la Batman and Robin, Robin Hood, etc.)

DOn't know if it has been asked already but I want to know why he chose the OHL over Sweden.

A few others:

How do you deal with pressure situations in a game?

Do you have any pre-game rituals?

Who is your best friend in hockey?

Who is your favorite athlete in another sport?
