After picking up your annual Yearbook, I found myself again annually re-reading your list of the top 50 NHLers for that one guy whose name I'm sure I'm just somehow missing.
This year’s player was last year’s rookie of the year: Steve Mason, who led all goalies in shutouts and fought through a bout of mono and a patch-work blueline to lead the Blue Jackets to their first playoff appearance in franchise history.
It's hard to argue the other between-the-posts peers on your list, but clearly if you listed eight goaltenders among the top 50 players, you would have to include Mason.

“I think when you’re at home the first two games, sometimes you get a little bit too comfortable at home. Then you come on the road, maybe it’s like a rude awakening…We’ve had three series to figure that out, learn it. We definitely want to be better (Monday), especially in the first game on the road.”
