The Company Men!


Robin, you were spectacular, you're a "Rock Star!"

But the Company Men are out to move you along...

James Abson, a Tranna guy, talks Tranna with Bob for twenty minutes and then more Tranna with Shawn Simpson for another ten before mentioning that Robin has only played two games!!! It was 3 solid wins! It's like Bryan sayin' 50 games when Lehner has played 80 games as a pro and has a Calder Cup and the MVP!

Simpson says: "Robin starts to look like Mike Palmateer, swimming" when the man is under a 40 shot type extreme presure and Konopka misses the guy on the wrap around! It was the 4th shot in that sequence...give yourself a shake! This goalie of little experience (less than Robin) cannot find away to get Lehner out of the way and back down fast enough.

It's Company Policy..."He ain't ready!"

Someone slipped I can't tell you who and said if they bring Robin along too fast the money that he is projected to make at the end of his current contract will be astronomical...Is that any way to base a guy's playing ability!

    7 consecutive posts on this matter. I suspect you are suffering from Lehnsanity!

  3. Pump the brakes Nik, you're going into a skid on this one!
    The kid is 20, and admits he has a bit of a 'tude problem, the slow progress is a result of that.
    Is it the right way to handle it? I think so, but only time will tell.
    I do know, if he continues to work hard, play well, and display a professional attitude, he will remain in the NHL.
    It's up to him, I believe that, and his season in the AHL has not garnered him any credit (based upon his attitude)
    Just my opinion.
