Confirmed with Link: Mason to PHI for Leighton, 3rd Rnd Pick

[TheDrizzle81]

As I said once already I saw him meltdown in Buffalo and pulled during the playoffs a few years ago... the Flyers went on to win the series without playing him if I recall..

That was a full team meltdown that saw at least 10-12 goalie changes between 3 goalies (Boucher bob and Leighton). Miller also had meltdown. Boston demolished us the next round

Your right... I forgot Boucher was in the mix too...

Appears Flyers are closing in on a one-year extension with Mason

per Chris Johnston

Steve Mason is likely to sign a one-year deal with the #flyers for less than his current AAV.

Lol. He'll get eaten alive.

 

[blahblah]

Lol. He'll get eaten alive.

Hopefully by us.

In all seriousness, I don't know how Mason can do any worse than what Bryz has shown. Even during there winning streak, Bryz still has put up Mason-esque numbers.

 

[HoldFast13]

No he's there to protect Bryz from his teammates

I meant the shrink, not the bodyguard.

Flyer fans having fun with Mason signing.

 

[EspenK]

Why not re-sign him? He's got a 1.000 save percent and a 0.00 gaa for them

Now that's what you call funny.

Can we lock the thread now and forget?

 

[KeithBWhittington]

Its just one year, and its less than his current rate substantially. Compared to the goaltending they have been getting, its almost a non issue anyways. Philly needed to do this or they'd look incredibly stupid for forking over what they did for him. He is a guy thats still capable of starting almost nightly because of his relative health and youth still, as long as you aren't too concerned with immediate dividends in terms of Wins and Losses.

1.5 for a guy you can throw out they each night is nothing to sneeze at, financially, at least.

I expect he will be unspectacular at best next season and he will not be resigned and will likely begin the "journeyman" part of his career very early.

Y'all weren't kidding about his glove hand lol

That was Voracek that beat Mason.

That was Voracek that beat Mason.

Was there another trade?

 

[NotWendell]

That was Voracek that beat Mason.

It wasn't Jake but someone else on the Flyers.

 

[Jyrki]

It wasn't Jake but someone else on the Flyers.

Erik Gustafsson.

 

[major major]

That was Voracek that beat Mason.

LOL, this was my boneheaded post of the night. Voracek scored on the other goalie and I forgot he and Mason were on the same team. Think before you post.

Gustafsson slid it in later for an own goal, but that wasn't what I was referring to.

 

[pete goegan]

LOL, this was my boneheaded post of the night.

If you can limit yourself to just one/night, you're doing better than most.

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

After watching the jackets play last night

I'm still knocking on wood (my head) & hoping Bob is able to keep on keeping on. Love this guy, so nice to see him working his arse off for the team

 

[cbj21]

1. "I don't see you" ..

2. "yaawn, where am I?"

3. "OMG It's not a nightmare, I'm really on the bench!"

..

4. "yup I got your job biach!"

 

[LetsGOJackets!!]

That is funny schitt right there..

does Mase hand Bryz his sweaty towel? I actually wan to see how that clip ends ha ha

It ends with a high glove shot

 

[MoeBartoli]

Thought I was watching a jackets games Mason lets one through......

 

[IBleedUnionBlue]

Mase has stopped 22 of 23 and the Fleyrs lead 3-1 after 2. Seems like he is having a good night.

 

[Steeltown Jacket]

Dan Geltson @APgeltson

Flyers lead here 3-1 late 2nd. I think we can all agree Steve Mason is the goalie of the future. Buh-bye, Bryz.
9:07pm - 16 Apr 13
-------------------
Sarcasm I assume, but as I typed this, Rangers score to close within 3-2.

 

[major major]

Mason stopped 38 out of 40 tonight in the win over the Rangers. That puts the Rangers very close to being out of the top 8 in the East.
