During the offseason, Steve Mason mentioned how one of the areas he focused on was the mental side of being a goaltender, specifically when it comes to a shootout.
In what used to be an area Mason (and the Flyers, as a group) struggled in, the 28-year-old netminder has somewhat done a 180-degree flip.
He stood on his head once again as the Flyers knocked off Washington via shootout on Wednesday. Aside from one that got by him off of the stick of T.J. Oshie (a man known for taking down an entire country by way of shootout), Mason was brilliant.
