Like so many Blue Jackets fans, I have been conditioned to be skeptical of Mason. I only wanted to give him a little extra appreciation this AM. If you think that is somehow wrong, I just don't know what to say.<br /><br />In addition, I do believe it is possible for a historically poorly-performing player to have a good game at the exact same time that the opponent plays poorly. Really, it is.<br /><br />Thanks for reading.Dark Blue Jacketnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5796383459721793585.post-83852487233195858722011-12-14T09:41:01.106-05:002011-12-14T09:41:01.106-05:00Funny how your tune changes when he plays well.. Y...Funny how your tune changes when he plays well.. You seemed to enjoy hoping/waiting for him to fail and even did the worst possible thing during the game on twitter to him.. And I quote..<br /><br />"If Mase gets a shutout, my brain will explode. #CBJ"<br />"Folks, there's no jinx going with Mase that he hasn't already been saddled with. The kid is a walking, talking jinx. #CBJ"<br /><br />and then you go on to find excuses why Vancouver isn't scoring - and it's clearly not Mason..<br /><br />"This is one weird, weird game. #CBJ"<br />"I think the #CBJ lured the Canucks into partaking in Free Food Night. Crafty. #FoodComas"<br /><br />By all means, hate on Mase, but at least be consistent about it. And dude, EVERYONE who knows ANYTHING about hockey knows to not jinx their goaltender with that word and you did it while they were playing VANCOUVER. Not cool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
