Lehner first goalie off ice at Golden Knights' skate, appears to be Game 4 starter

Interesting choice; lets see if it pays off

Panic button

Agree not a good look, and a boost for MTL knowing they caused this

George McPhee if Lehner gets the start:

 

[Walrus26]

Reeks of no confidence. Lehner's a big boi goalie; which tend to be the goalies that give the Habs fits.

This.

No jumping for joy with me, I'd have preferred to be facing MAF (the gaffe).

 

[MomoSissokko]

Wow, this is a high risk move for DeBoer

 

[K Fleur]

Why would Montreal care one way or another who starts? It won't affect them.

The only mind games DeBoer is playing with is his team.

Every team in the league should be excited to see Fleury in net against them in the playoffs.

You know he's going to inevitably have his annual playoff meltdown and it just might be against your team.

 

[spintheblackcircle]

DeBoer has struck!!!!!

Was a matter of time

 

[HuGo Sham]

BTW we still have no idea. Habs didn't announce Petry until game time. They didn't even tweet him in the starting lineup

 

[Hockeyholic]

I can see why DeBoer has been fired from three jobs in the past 12 years.

 

[TheFinalWord]

@The Duck Knight...

Um.....the series is effectively over if Vegas loses tonight.

Having MAF refreshed does no good down 3-1.

I wish someone would have told Montreal that when they were playing Toronto.

Big goaltenders tends to play better against the habs.

Markstrom, bishop, Lehner.

So I'm not happy to see Lehner tonight as a habs fan

Electric arm chair joke

 

[Walrus26]

Pure awesomeness, great job

 

[Maffew]

WTH?!

Vegas Golden Knights Robin Lehner starter net Game 4 - TSN.ca

Something must have happened to Marc-Andre Fleury?

The Habs happened, bro

 

[Hockeyholic]

I wish someone would have told Montreal that when they were playing Toronto.

Ok not technically over.

But come on.

You never say a team has even a good chance at coming back from a 3-1 hole.

 

[T REX]

Flower looked nervous and played like crap TBH

Right move...win or lose.

Habs are a team of heart and destiny and perseverance and determination and...

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

I would punch myself for cheering for the Habs if I did not have the perfect rationalization to make it ok to me:

1) Vegas betrayed Fleury
2) I am a Victoriaville Tigres fan and Danault was our captain and is a local boy
3) My dad likes the Habs (he is a traitor, but it is father day, so...)

Wait how is your father the traitor if you are his off spring? Doesn't that make you the traitor?

 

[snipes]

Rattled

 

[mac nylander]

I wish someone would have told Montreal that when they were playing Toronto.

The boys are riding high and Price is just proving each game why he's the best goaltender of this generation.
Major difference from Toronto being up 3-1.

But either way, Vegas is a a powerhouse and should never be underestimated.

 

[General Fanager]

This smells like a fake out...

 

[nhlfan9191]

Reeks of no confidence. Lehner's a big boi goalie; which tend to be the goalies that give the Habs fits.

This was my initial thought. These giant robotic goalies like Lehner scare me much more then Marc Andre Fleury.

 

[Filatov2Kovalev2Bonk]

Lehner better deliver because that feels a bit premature given MAF’s overall performance this season…

If his confidence wasn’t shot before, it probably is now.

Overall performance means squat right now, esp. given Fleury's game 3 gift. Fleury should be shamed forever. He failed to keep the Knights in overtime as well, more shame.
Lehner can do the job fine he just has to...not gift a goal or two to the Habs.
