Steve Mason played just three games in the American Hockey League before landing in Columbus and leading the Blue Jackets to their first post season berth in since people realized there was a hockey team in Columbus. With a 2.29 goals against average and a .916 save percentage, he should be the rookie of the year in the National Hockey League.

The Columbus Blue Jackets, in the playoffs for the first time in franchise history, have just knocked off the defending Stanley Cup champion Detroit Red Wings in the first round.
That doesn’t sound right does it? It’s not like the BeeJays have Arturs Irbe between the pipes. Red over Blue in six, though the Wings will need to put up at least seven per to avoid upset.
