Mason injured, 50/50 to start tonight
Yet another Blue Jackets player appears to be at least mildly injured, and it might be the most important of them all -- rookie goaltender Steve Mason. Mason was seen checking with the Blue Jackets training staff on at least three occasions this morning during the Jackets' skate in Verizon Center, before leaving the morning skate a few minutes early.

Here’s an update from Puck Rakers:
Just spoke with GM Scott Howson in the lobby restaurant of the Blue Jackets team hotel. Goaltender Steve Mason is questionable for tonight’s game vs. Washington with upper body “tightness.”
That means it’s 50-50 that Mason will play. If he doesn’t start, Mason will serve as back-up to Dan LaCosta.

No Mason, no Leclaire, should be no problem for the Caps (knock on wood).
LaCosta would make is first career start if Mason doesn’t go

Shush. :) Don’t tell the Caps it’ll be no problem, because they’ll slack off and play half-@$$ed. No good.

Guess Mason healed real fast
Mason must have recovered quickly because he played a whale of a game. The Caps could not buy a goal tonight despite throwing everything but the kitchen sink at Mason.

Our injured guys should perform as well as he did. He made several “routine” stops on glorious scoring opportunities. Some nights you just don’t win.

If Mason plays like that hurt, I don’t want to see him 100%>
