Robin Lehner Says Islanders Fans Saved His Life

I love Robin Lehner. Seriously, it’s not even close, he is by far my favorite player to ever spend just one year with the New York Islanders. Before the 2018-2019 season, his first and lone season on the Island, Lehner came forward with his struggles with mental health and addiction.

If you haven’t read the story, it’s truly one of the best things The Athletic has ever put out and well worth your time. Lehner was open, he started a conversation that almost no one is comfortable having and he was loved for it.
