Jackets tasted great with a 3-1 regulation win on the road at Minny on Saturday. On Sunday, well, that was less than filling with a 5-3 regulation loss at home to Anaheim.
1. Steve Mason tasted great and stole 2 points in Minny on Saturday. He stopped 31 of 32 shots and teased us once again with what kind of goaltender he could be if he found any kind of consistency. Against Anaheim is was less filling and more of the same ole Mason from the past 3 years. He stopped only 30 of 35 shots and again showed us why this team cannot rely on him between the pipes. Yes, he was hung out to dry on occassion but there were no big saves and of course the major mental mistake as he failed to control a simple rolling puck that lead to the 4th goal. It's too bad the team couldn't bail him out like he did for them the previous night.
2. The PK continues to be a mess. They gave up 3 goals on 4 chances and showed us why they are dead last in the league. The team isn't winning...
