WILD: Robin Lehner receiving death threats!

Robin Lehner is one of the best goalies in the league. He's currently leading the Vegas Golden Knights in the hopes of a Stanley Cup, and has taken over as the starting net-minder for the playoffs. Recently himself, along with 3 others took a knee during the national anthems before Vegas' game vs the Dallas Stars and the outrage has caught Lehner by surprise.

While Lehner has been an open book and an advocate for mental health and well-being, he's quick to point out his actions had nothing to do with politics and everything to do with human rights. Turns out some on social media are letting him have it. 

Lehner spoke with a Swedish paper and had this to say on the matter:

It’s sad to see how things are right now and that there are quite threatening reactions on social media. But this is something I believe in, it is my reality and something I have gone through with my loved ones. 

Now the media is dragging politics into this, for me it’s just about everyone having the same right. I love this country, but it’s so wrong when people have to drag the military in this and that I’m against it. I spent three months with the military when I underwent rehabilitation a few years ago and I know how often they are left out (omitted?) and saw how they are treated when they return from serving in wars abroad. I was in contact with several of them before I did this knee bend before the match and they had no problems with the action.

Think what you want on the situation. Leave the threats on the bench.
