Thoughts on Lehner

[TealManV]

He, more likely than not, doesn't (at least in the future). The general belief is that Lehner will be backing up Anderson soon and up until Anderson's contract is up. I have a feeling Bishop could be dealt at the deadline.

Hard to say.

Thanks for the info! Best of luck this season!

He's a rookie. Rookies make mistakes.

Friendly Sharks fan here with a question. Where does Bishop currently fit in?

Just to add to the last reply, we like seeing Bish come up big for us, but in the back of all our minds, we're also happy about how it increases his market value. There's a pretty big consensus that sooner or later he'll be dealt.

 

[FolignoQuantumLeap]

I think its safe to say at his age he's peaked as a player. No room for improvement in his game at all.

Once we're healthy and he has an even better team in front of him, he'll look scary good. Give it time.

After tonight's game his NHL career is as follows

17 Games, 5 Wins, 6 Losses, 3 Overtime Losses, 0.921 Sv%, 2.41 GAA

How many NHL goalies have a sv% like that?

IF we don't include his first year (19 years old) then it becomes:

9 Games, 4 Wins, 2 Losses, 3 Overtime Losses, 0.941 Sv%, 1.95 GAA

You're prolly being Sarcastic. But lets just say his career Sv% doesn't ever go up from where it is right now. He would still go down in NHL history as one of the top 10 in career sv%

 

[SilverSeven]

Bingo.


HE'S 21 YEARS OLD.

Sorry, this doesnt fly for me. People taht said he was too young have been getting **** all over all year by people saying he should be in the NHL RIGHT NOW.

Now that he has let in a few softies his age is a crutch?

 

[SilverSeven]

That being said, anyone questioning Lehner at this point is nuts. Thsi team isnt very good right now. Despite this all of our goalies have given us a chance every night.

He's not too young. But he will make mistakes. And hopefully learn from them. No use blowing up over every incident.


Meanwhile he's still posting this: 1.89 GAA .947 SV%


We're in good shape.

 

[SilverSeven]

Bishop also has these moments and lets in more goals per game.

I dunno about that. When Bishop is on he lets in no softies. With Lehner you can kinda write one off a game. Its why I think another year in the AHL wouldnt hurt.

By that time we might be able to move forward with those two as a tandem

 

[Qward]

if he plays the same way for the next 3 games he gets added to the leader board. Ottawa could be looking at 3 goalies in the top 10 for save %

5 hole doesnt count as a "softie"

He was on in the Toronto game?

 

[BK201]

You guys are messed up. Good goaltending doesn't always equal wins you also need to score more than 2 goals once in a while, we're getting good goaltending from him.

.943 save percentage and you losers ***** xD you guys are so stupid.

 

[CanadianHockey]

Almost all goalies let in the odd softie. Inexperience can exacerbate that.

 

[StoneColdFlower*]

And what do you want done about it? We're down to Lehner or Bishop with an injury depleted team.

A lot of teams would kill to have a Bishop-Lehner tandem.

 

[Benjamin]

Lehner has been fanastic. Hes a 21 year old callup.

 

[OttawaSenators11]

He's been very good, just pull him in SO's

 

[Dionysus]

Seems like nitpicking to me. It is nice being spoiled with 3 good goalies this year though.

 

[xking23]

When we are complaining about our 3rd string goalie (or second) putting up allstar numbers, there is a problem...

Honestly he lets in softies, but remember Elliot, Lalime, Gerber, Emery, every other goalie we have had (including Hasek) has let in some soft goals. Let him grow and mature. He will be fine, we just need to score more than 2 goals.

Hold on, I was replying to a specific question about Bishop, not Lehner. I don't think anyone on planet Earth thinks Lehner is destined for the trading block.

 

[Nordic*]

Can we get a late first rounder for Bishop?

 

[Slack]

Can we get a late first rounder for Bishop?

That would be a nice little turnover considering that it cost a second to pick him up.

Shootouts are dumb, Lehner played fine. I'm tired.
