Nothing? I'd say the defensemen expertly got in each other's way.

OLÉ!

Meanwhile, the Wild continue to impress by snatching defeat from the jaws of victory once again today.

Oh this can't be real right?

Before the 2010-11 season, the NHL and its competition committee agreed to having all goalie equipment form-fitted to the size of each netminder. That information never got to the 6-foot-4 Mason. No, really, it didn't. Everything he was wearing was undersized by NHL regulations.

Last month, Mason and Blue Jackets goaltending coach Ian Clark overhauled his equipment because what he was playing in was smaller than what he could have been using.

As Mitchell notes, Mason's first game with the new gear was Feb. 11, and since then he's gone 7-3-1, with a 2.67 GAA and .922 save percentage. Not out-of-this-world numbers for a goaltender, but for the 23-year-old Mason it's a major turnaround.

Although this doesn't really help that if you shoot glove high on him, it always goes in.

I'll tell ya what hurts. A goal scored to win it with 0.9 on the clock in OT. That's what hurts.

Gettin' awful cozy up there.

I'm not even sure what happened to Hartnell there... how did he end up on his back?

Hell of a comeback, Bryz played great, and THAT is how you avoid a shootout!

I'm still mad about that loss. It was one of those games that we should've won. Now we've given Philly momentum just as the Atlantic race gets close. Oh well, at least we got a point out of it.

I'M STILL PISSED ABOUT THE LOSS THOUGH

Antti Miettinen has scored. Twice.

This can't be life.

I don't know what's better. "Crosby's better" chants for Ovechkin or "Jordan's better" chants for Eric Staal.

These races are nuts, man. NUTS.

Re: The Official 2011-12 Regular Season Talk Thread

This is skillful the way Hartnell grabbed Kunitz's elbow with his face and pulled it toward him so as to rub Hartnell's head into the ice after they were already down. He did it so well, it brought on no penalty to either contestant. Impressive.

Sounds like Radulov has finally got a deal worked out to come back. He could possibly make his debut on Thursday (vs Pens) or Saturday (vs Jets).

Man! I guess Jordan Staal would've really owned the Jets tonight!
