Still not sold on Hak as the head coach I want to see at the helm of this team next year, but I give him full props for getting this team focused and leading them to a western Canada sweep.
I'm also very impressed with the play of and the leadership shown by Brian Elliott on this trip. He was a rock. - BiggE
I wonder if that was a reason Mason was let go. With all the youth starting to filter in they wanted someone more of a calming influence/low key type personality.
I am not totally sure but just seems Mason might have been more high maintenance compared to someone like Elliott. Just my view.
The one goal he gave up was from poor rebound control, which is something he struggles with consistently.
I know it is a lot to ask of a guy who is a 1B but the way he played last night is what I expect of a player who was brought in to be the guy. - ggunky
So you expected him to sustain a 1.00 GAA and a .973 SV%

I think it had a lot to do with it. Elliott has a rep as being a team first guy and an excellent teammate. He's a great guy to have on a developing team.

I think you can arrange for pre delivered food in the private suites but not in the club boxes.

I know Lyon will only be a up for a short time but getting to talk and practice with Elliot has to be a plus.

Agreed.
It is amazing when your goalie plays well how the rest of the team looks so much more competent.
This was exactly the point I was making during the losing streak, good goalies help stop a losing streak or snap a funk the team finds itself mired in.

maybe...I just remember having to buy their poopty 6 packs...depends on which one I guess and if it's a team or private one.

For the most part Brian Elliott played very well during the losing streak.
