@DanJFriedman Dan I DMed you last time you alluded to being bummed because you once answered an isles question I had but you never replied. Sorry to hear things have not improved but 1) you may feel better tomorrow one day and 2) Realize that others have troubles you don’t know about.
@Guy747Leafs@darrenrovell@RobinLehner This while his best was not his only excellent pro season. Not only would no one with his season receive one UFA offer and no raise. The proof is in the pudding. Isles decline correlates with Varmolov’s btw
After a huge season, @RobinLehner had to settle for a 1-year/$5m deal. The NHL goaltending market is volatile, but it proves that every exec who lauded him with going public with his mental health battles turned their back when it came time to do a deal he deserved.
@IslesBlog But It does diminish the nhl execs with their hypocrisy rewarding Lehner for battling mental illness prejudice and then making sure he must continue to battle it. Seriously. No other of the less talented goalies had to sign a one year deal. Shameful.
@Guy747Leafs@darrenrovell@RobinLehner Last year all but one team was skeptical he could do it at all and his career stats warranted a $4.5 million for a season deal. Does that of which he is asked and more and after this year all the teams but one are skeptical he can do it again. Worth $500K raise but no term.
@Guy747Leafs@darrenrovell@RobinLehner Meanwhile Isles in position to know he’s sobermjc -their temporary 2 year offer proves it—sacrificed Lehners reputation portraying him as still as big a risk as year ago. want Varmolov to get Sorokin to come to USA next contract. Signing nothing to do with Lehner. Shameful NYI
@Guy747Leafs@darrenrovell@RobinLehner No one (except reportedly the Isles disingenuously did offer him 2 years for a minute) would treat him as any less of a project than last year. So how many years til he proves he’s worth a second year? GMs must’ve voted by guilt. Pathetic.
@Guy747Leafs@darrenrovell@RobinLehner So how many other goalies were signed to one year deals? Give you the Masterson on one hand and still stigmatize your (recovering 14 months sober. ) disease on contract day. Nice.
@Guy747Leafs@darrenrovell@RobinLehner Only 1 team gave him a prove it again 1 year deal after the NYI one year prove it (to someone else) deal. After a season where he along with Greiss gave up the fewest goals in the league, he set a franchise record for season shutouts &had an outstanding playoffs.
@THNMattLarkin Everyone learning how selfish JT is. Stan Fischler knows how his teammates felt. he said in Sept “Addition by Subtraction.” Selfish cause he didn’t want to live out of a hotel for 2 months but stupid in that he could’ve been traded to a contender
@THNMattLarkin Bad Karma. we don’t like being misled by a player selfish enough to ask for no deadline trade. Snow could’ve sent him to SJS Bos BJs and he’d still be playing and still gone to TLM July1. selfish and stupid. rare.
@JCapGLJ Ovie was so tired in postgame interview the Isles ought to aim for 4 goals in the first before things settle down. belmont Lou Barry Lee Barzy Toews Clutter Ebs Robin Greisser Brock we were playing playoff hockey since ASG.
reply to @Shannon_Hogan@BComptonNHL BCompton i think she’s terrific. Best Isles game host since Sam Marchiano ! Hope she turns em down when MSG wants her for rags games.
