Even Tripp is calling out slavin on the pp
We've had multiple chances to get a guy like LehnerSo to oppose another bad take. When you are in the thick of a close playoff race, have a mounting pile of injuries, including one to a dman they traded for, why would you open up that can of worms to leave 2 AHL goalies out to dry? In addition, we already have one of, if not the hardest remaining schedule of all NHL team.
I'm not blaming Ned at, and we could've played better in front of him, but that was a huge risk to take if you claim to be all in for making a playoff push. And whenever Mrazek comes back, it's not like he's some huge workhorse that we rely on.
It's probably time to start worrying about the Rags too though. And they're winning.
I dont understand foegele. He scores 2 in TOR, but is right back to looking like he doesnt know what to do when the puck is on his stick.

I think we just dislike good goalies
Hard to believe that considering what Lehner actually did end up going forTo my understanding, we didn't go after Lehner at the deadline because the price they wanted wasn't worth it, when Mrazek isn't (apparently) as far off as expected.
I suspect Chicago was really trying to squeeze us and was genuinely shocked with no plan B when we said no, and then had to scramble.Hard to believe that considering what Lehner actually did end up going for
If they really wanted him, they could have got him. But it looks like they didn't really have upgrading goalie as a priority.

I don't buy it that it's all on either Chicago or Lehner, but who knows, you could be right.I suspect Chicago was really trying to squeeze us and was genuinely shocked with no plan B when we said no, and then had to scramble.
I also suspect we were trying to work out an extension with Lehner so as to make it a hockey deal, but Lehner said no, again. We clearly tried to sign him over the offseason, and for some reason he's not interested.
Adversity makes this team fold like a cheap lawn chair. That’s one glaring difference from last season.Didn't Toronto conspire to keep Lehner from us as well?
RBA and boys very sad about losing Wally (and Haula) it seems from his comments. This team hasn't dealt with change well all season so no big surprise.

Not that it matters now anyway.
