Chris Mason allowed two goals on 17 shots in the Jets' 2-1 loss to the New York Rangers Monday night. A year ago, Mason was the ideal veteran netminder to have on board for the Thrahers. At the start of training camp, he was a year removed from leading the Blues into the playoffs, and was solid in the starting role the season prior. Unfortunately, his game fell apart last season with Atlanta, and at age 35 the temptation is to say he's fallen off a cliff. There's only a select few goalies 35-years-old and up who can still hold their own until they get pushed aside. Mason seems excited to play in Winnipeg this season but he probably shouldn't be starting on anyone's fantasy roster this season.
