  Impossible. Mason doesn't win in shootouts.

  Snoozefest. Pathetic play. I wasted 80 bucks on tickets, half a gas tank, and 8 hours tonight.
  
  The season is closing in on the half way mark. It's obvious that the Jacket franchise has taken one big step backwards from last years team.

  Pitiful performance tonight.

  Fire Hitch.
  
  If this keeps up, I will not be renewing my season tickets for next year and selling my PSL.

  Honestly, the Jackets didn't play AWFUL. However, it's tough to believe Anaheim was the 2nd worst team in the NHL coming in. They looked better than ever. At one point during their 3rd goal, they had Niedermayer, Whitney, Ryan, Getzlaf and Perry out there. It was one of the best PP sequences I've seen all year and Mason had NO CHANCE.
  
  Props to the Ducks. Very impressive. Hiller, outside of a fluke goal, gave the CBJ nothing.

  Aye ye aye. I hope the mother in law didn't get me that 6 pack of Jackets tickets after all.
