The controversial former NHLer Robin Lehner released a cryptic and worrying statement on social media yesterday.
The goaltender Robin Lehner has been away from the NHL for the past two seasons after multiple injuries.
Currently, in the final year of his five-season, $5 million AAV contract, Lehner is expected to officially retire from the NHL.
Lehner, who's been involved in a few controversies since taking part in his last game, shared a worrying post on X last night.
It hasn't been a secret that Lehner has been dealing with mental health issues, but it reached a boiling point yesterday.
Check out what he wrote:
"Never had silence and my brain is now fully broken that there is no return.The chaos never stop and the fantasy and delusions that I prayed was a nightmare unfortunately was the reality. The reality was watched by the spectators while the torture of innocents that don't deserve it suffered.
When endings create a new beginning of truth and safety for those that paid the price and suffering. When the nightmare comes to an end and create peace and happiness.
When consequences and tragedy create safety and justice brings a first smile and optimism of change and new beginning.
When pain turns in to a friend and constant that was the only thing that never left your side. When lies and evil destroys the most pure bonds. Love and loyalty eventually lets go of your hand and you understand.
You know it's your fault so a small piece of your heart gets restored before the noise is over. The truth will shine because good or bad the truth is taking responsibility and not being a coward.
Everything is documented and all proof is available. No need to believe but just see. Will make a better future out of tragic situation. No matter what pain has been dealt the biggest one is that pain gives satisfaction and emotions no matter how tough people fake to be become unknown.
The nightmare is almost over but I'm going to choose to now stay in it. The nightmare have some people in it that I'm sorry was brought in to it. They will always be the only ones that given me the feeling of love.
The future for them now have a chance of safety. When everyone around watch the innocent living under constant guns to their heads something have to change. It is now. Hate me. judge me. Lie about me. Don't matter. Good or bad. I might be all you guys say.
But do it based on the facts and what I've done or what have been done around me. Now it stops happening to the innocent people. Others will have to answer as well now. While staring in to the darkness now small light is shining. That is that they will have to face the same darkness but it's not their friend. Enjoy it.
To the ones that been affected and loved me. Celebrate and move on to freedom of a future of the blessings life can give with safety and happiness. Know that the torture and insanity is over and finally maybe there is happiness and peace for me.
I'm ready to meet my judgement no one can judge me worse than I have my self. Hope truth prevails but when not one single fact or crazy f**king thing have been brought out or buried you just don't know.
I hope many people understands what this means for them. Truth will set them free. Some will not have that chance tho. I hope they know what I have in store for them. If you think I'm talking to you know
I am. I'm taking you with me to it. I stayed silent while letting you guys r**e me.
Well that's no news to me. To the ones I've hurt I'm not going to apologize. It's just words. The truth here will show you everything and I'm not going to hide behind something and disrespect you more.
I deserve your hate as I let it happen no matter the situation. To my inner family tho know that I wish I could do anything and I do love you.
My name is bob. Daddy isn't deserved. Panda means something. But the name Lehner needs to be erased. It's evil and need to be erased.
Happy all the insanity helped with some cap space tho. That nhl and nhlpa did what they did.
Heinsey nice decision:) you said you would take the decision for my family no matter what we wanted. Hope you live up to it.
A bit of cap room for the second time by my amazing situation is awesome. Go knights go"
There's no denying that this statement is scary. Many fans have reached out to him and hope that he can get the help he needs.
Whether you like him or not, it's hard to see someone in that mindset, and we truly hope that things will turn out well for him in the future.
