Whining about the nhl forcing him to take it (it's certainly possible the nhl did not force him to take it though) is a perfectly valid complaint. The nhl should not be force anything on anyone.
I believe that all the players that got the vaccine, were under the impression that they could do more things while at home and on the road (eat at a restaurant, catch a movie, etc).
The league is saying that fully vaccinated players must still comply to all restrictions due to the fact that it could cause "competetive advantage" which is absolute BS imo. The league says they must comply with all guidelines and restrictions until ALL NHL players and staff are fully vaccinated.
If I'm Lehner, or anyone who's vaccinated for that matter, I'm asking, "Why the heck did i get this vaccine, if it means I still have to comply to all these restrictions?" IMO Lehner's response is justified. I'd be p*ssed too if I'm fully vaccinated for a disease, yet I still must comply to all these extremely strict restrictions to not get infected with that disease that I got a shot for!
