    Default Mason???

    OK, whats going on with Mason. 5 games started with a big fat zero in the W column.

    should I be worried? Emery has 4 starts and 4 wins? Is mason losing is starting roll?

    Yes, be worried.
    I predicted last year that he would be a good value addition because he was following the Bryzaster and had no pressure. Checkmark.
    I predicted this year that he would struggle with the "pressure" of knowing he was the #1 goalie (just. like. Columbus)... so far... Checkmark.

    Steve Mason has pressure issues.
    He plays well without pressure of "expectations".
    He plays poorly with pressure of "expectations".
    Game. Over.

    Yes, be worried. And prepare to suffer for another three or four weeks. But I do think he'll come around. He'll still get his 30 wins. The Flyers will put him out for a few softball games against Buffalo, Carolina, etc and get his head straight.

    Nah, Mason will come around. Philly started real slow last season too, and ended up making the playoffs, so be patient.

    As an Emery owner, going to ride this for what its worth. I think Mason will come back as they will get him some soft starts, but it he craps the bed it is going to be a Philly gong show in net.

    the best waiver replacement is chad Johnson and no one is moving any decent goalies via trade so I guess I'm stuck being patient no matter what. I finished 2nd over all last year and its painfull seeing the guy who finished 6 out of 10 above me because of his miracle drafting of Kuemper and Andersen. lol

    The best thing for Mason right now is that his main competition is Emery. That means Mason will be turned to often because over the long haul he'll essentially be the best of two bad choices.

    after trying to trade him, no takers at all. Wasted a 5th rounder on him in my keep 5. I have Keumper, Holtby and Fleury. Should I bite the bullet and drop him??

    Yeah I'd be worried, I expected Philly to be defensively weak this year to begin with but their injuries are a major concern

    The biggest (and valid) concern is that Mason has a long track record of completely stinking up the joint. This isn't like Lundqvist last year when he had that awful start.
