[CBJWerenski8]

Good luck Mase

 

[Jackets16]

Happy for the Blue Jackets and for Mason. Good luck to him.

 

[VandyBuck]

clearly voracek is coming back

 

[db2011]

wow, how bout that. Pulling for Mason, hope the change helps him

 

[1857 Howitzer]

Good luck Mase. I will never forget him carrying the Jackets to their first playoff berth.

 

[blahblah]

bwahaha.. Later dude.

 

[jackets4life]

Good luck to Mason and may Bobrovsky stay healthy!

 

[JacketsFanWest]

Hmm, I wonder what goalie gets recalled, especially with the Falcons playoff bound and the AHL playoffs starting before the NHL season ends.

Edited to add: York has been rather shaky lately after returning from an injury.

 

[Jyrki]

Wow, Mason got shipped to the worst city possible. Good luck to him, but I don't think it will pan out very well.

 

[DJA]

Good luck to Mason, but what the hell is Holmgren doing?

Bobrovsky for Mason?

 

[Paisano*]

clearly voracek is coming back

Love to see that!! Cant see Philly doing that though, prolly a draft pick

 

[ClevelandJacketFan]

Mason to a team that plays the most unkind system for a goalie.

Mother of God, thats gonna be ugly.

 

[Nanabijou]

Looking for the return - sounds like draft picks. Possibly get some of the picks back that we gave up for Bob?

Good luck, Mase. Time to move on.

 

[Dr. Fire]

Watch him dominate us after we go East. It will happen.

Good luck Stevie.

 

[Skraut]

Curtis McElhinney called up from Springfield according to Sportsnet.

 

[ScreamingWild]

Twitterverse is exploding with (t)witty comments about this one!

Good Luck Mase. Got a feeling you're gonna need it.

^^ This. At least Mase went out on a win. Godspeed Steve.

 

[Robert]

Good, I dispise the Flyers.... they will get a dose of soft goals... That said, good luck to him and perhaps a new environment will change him...

 

[jacketman10]

Was ecstatic to see the news. Mason was better this year. Too pricey for the amount of games played. Wish him well. Really.

 

[Socks]

Lol poor Mase. His trade got eclipsed in a hurry. Do we even know the return yet?

 

[Double-Shift Lasse]

Time for him to go. Wish he'd been able to maintain his rookie success but his time soent here since has bordered on toxic (on-ice anyway).
