Well, he did win the Calder and finish second in Vezina voting in 2009,and he was a top-5 goalie (what I'd consider "elite') during the 14/15 season. So that's when. But it was a joke, sparky.

And I agree, we could have used Schenn taking the dumbest penalty in the history of the NHL to blow a 2-goal lead. That's what this team is lacking right now.

Wow! Amazing how one bad play takes away from an A+ game. I guess checking and scoring on the best player in the world just isn't enough.

Mason was never an elite goalie. A lot of players win the Calder, it doesn't automatically make them elite. Even if it did, it didn't make Mason elite here...in Philly, where it matter.

For those down on Mason, am I the only one who remembers he's been a slow starter all five seasons he was a Flyer? Anyone remember when he was lit up two seasons ago again Florida in their home opener? The Leafs aren't exactly garbage. Show of hands of who watched that Hawks/Leafs game last night because I did. The Leafs are legit.

If you're gonna start something, you know I have the time and energy to go back and fourth with you. Your call.

I rarely drink it, but I do think it is cool that an arena has a beer deal that isn't completely owned by the two (edit: one) beer company

That's true. I wonder if it will be 10 bucks a beer.

You know, unless you have first hand knowledge of that, the comparison is useless.

I do not have first hand knowledge of that, and we learned something about you today. Also, who ate the Taco Bell, you or the hobo?

If this means the end of the ubiquity of Bud Light, I'm all in favor of it.

Only one person a year win the calder.

Also, he was pretty elite. I specifically remember a blog Bill wrote saying Canada should be looking at Mason at a potential darkhorse selection.

It's not a "craft" or "import" despite how some restaurants and bars market it.

If anything, I suspect they'll sell them in 16 oz servings for the same price as that silly 22 oz Bud Light they sell today.

Fwiw I believe they sold lager in 22oz cans at PNC park. It was one of the better buys in the park until I found the bar in left field

They already sell it in large cans for the same raping as they give you for bud light.

That's the same argument of Giroux came 10th in voting for the Selke in the 2014-15 season. It doesn't mean anything. People only remember the winning and only care to look up the two nominatees the winner was up against.

He's regularly called "Joker" too, without the article. Bats does it all the time.

But his friends call him Mr. J.
