With this teams offense, he is the reason we were as good as we were. He deserves this. Not saying the other goalies dont deserve it but Mason for one had a great offense in front of him and kept teams away from his net.

Mason will win this trophy as well as the rookie-of-the-year award, in my estimation.

He ought to be. How many times does an NHL goalie have to play on a team with NO other NHL calibar players....at all.

Much deserved honor for Backstrom. He clearly did more with less compared to the other two. I think Mason will get the rookie of the year, but GMs have a history of wanting to reward veterans moreso than younger players so I think Thomas will get this one. A very good argument can be made for any of the three.

Daily Horoscope for December 23

Cancer

If you have children at home they'll be really playful today and quite a handful at times. Encourage them to burn off all their energy during the day otherwise it will be a case of tears before bedtime. There could also be a fractious atmosphere between you and a loved one, and this will quickly escalate into a row if you aren't careful.
