Mason was pulled from Thursday's loss to Calgary late in the second period after allowing two goals on 16 shots. A stunning early hook for Mason -- sure, Calgary had scored twice on him in a span of less than two minutes, but that's not a lot of leash for a guy who's been one of the few bright spots for a brutal Philadelphia team. Especially when Ray Emery is the other option. Mason has just 14 wins in 45 games (42 starts), but you can hardly pin that on him -- he's got a .925 save percentage despite playing behind a team that's been well below average defensively (and offensively).
