Robin Lehner mocks reporter who shared his private medical information
Frank Seravalli of The Daily Faceoff is usually one of the most reliable insiders in the sport. He's broken multiple stories and has connections across multiple teams, but it sounds like he may have finally gotten something wrong and it might come back to haunt him.
In the middle of February, Seravalli, shared some information that Vegas Golden Knights' goalie, Robin Lehner, would require season ending surgery.
Yesterday though Lehner met with the media in Vegas and not only did he put those stories to bed, but he also took the opportunity to dump on Seravalli for his poor reporting. Lehner was asked about how his recovery was going and he replied:
That's a better question for @frank_seravalli, my doctor.
But Lehner wasn't done there, when he was asked about his longer term health he replied with the following:
I'm not going to talk about injuries. Obviously what Dr. Seravalli said wasn't true. Obviously I haven't had a surgery, so I'm good.
This is another instance of an NHL Insider getting information wrong, which has become more of a trend than anything else. Information like this is what continues to give reporters and insiders a bad reputation.
