Robin Lehner's post referenced the unfortunate conclusion to his time in Vegas after hip surgery. This summer, it was announced that he would miss the entire 2024-25 NHL season.

Lehner's post also alluded to off-ice struggles. In 2022, he and his wife filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy protection, listing over $27 million in liabilities.

Court documents later alleged that Lehner was unresponsive regarding the bankruptcy proceedings and didn't update his address after moving from his multimillion-dollar residence in Vegas.

Robin Lehner on legal and personal challenges

Robin Lehner opened up in an exclusive phone interview with Review-Journal about the legal and personal challenges he has faced.

"I don’t need sympathy or anything; screw that. Bring up something that’s true, and I can take it like a man. But everything is fake." Robin Lehner said.

"No one has any idea what has happened to my family and my life after a lot of these things, and a lot of, obviously, people will see in the future what actually happened."

He feels many things being said are fake and portray him as someone who goes AWOL and doesn't answer anyone.

Lehner said that he just wants a fair portrayal and for people to know the truth about the difficult circumstances he and his family have endured rather than false narratives being spread.
