Weird Islanders: The Podcast! - Episode 58 - Robin Lehner (with guest Sean Cuthbert)

Mike and Dan welcome back Hockey Night in New York host Sean Cuthbert to discuss Robin Lehner, the very rare one season wonder for the Islanders.

Brought in by Lou Lamoriello after the exit of John Tavares, Lehner and the Islanders was originally a marriage of necessity. They needed a goalie and he needed a place to play after getting out of the NHL’s player assistance program. Despite extremely low expectations, both the team and the player experienced a fairy tale season, racking up over 100 points and a first round sweep, as well as a Mastertron Trophy and third place finish in Vezina voting.
