Robin Lehner won't be bothered if the NHL decides to alter goalie equipment in an attempt to increase scoring.
The Sabres goalie fully endorsed reducing the size of goalie equipment Monday while speaking on WGR 550 in Buffalo.
"I'm a pretty big guy and you have guys weighing around 160 who look bigger than me on the ice," said Lehner, who's listed at 6-foot-5 and 240 pounds. "We should be athletes out there, not operating equipment. We should save the pucks, it shouldn't be the equipment that saves the pucks."
Lehner has appeared in 20 games for the Sabres this season, posting a 5-9-4 record that belies his sparkling .926 save percentage.
