The NHL Awards was actually pretty entertaining this year. There were a ton of memorable and funny moments but one moment specifically stands out the most and that’s New York Islanders goalie Robin Lehner’s speech.
After winning the Masterton Trophy, Robin Lehner went on stage to give his acceptance speech and you could tell how emotional it was for him.
He fought a very public battle against addiction and mental health issues and this award was an easy choice. As he spoke tears streamed down his wife’s face as she looked on with obvious pride, the entire audience did.
