Robin Lehner is not a happy man.

The Buffalo Sabres took on the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday, losing by a score of 4-2. It was Buffalo's sixth loss in nine games and for the Sabres' goaltender, it may have been the last straw.

According to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News, Lehner ripped into his teammates during a post-game rant.

"We haven't done anything," Lehner told Harrington after the loss. "We win one game and we think we're Chicago ... We haven't done anything in this league. (Gionta) has won a Cup. All respect to him, he's done something. The rest of us haven't."

The 25-year old netminder cited a lack of structure, as it appears that the Sabres have been winging it lately. He went as far as to call his guys "disrespectful" for ignoring the coach's game plan, while making decisions on the fly.

"Let's do another deke, let's do another play. .Get out of our zone? No, let's do the fancy thing."

Those are some harsh words for the guys in front of him. 

Lehner finished the night with 27 saves on 31 shots, and the Sabres' performance left much to be desired. You can't expect to win too many games giving up six opposing power-play opportunities.

Despite all of this, the Sabres remain only five points out of a playoff spot.
