Oh SNAP!

This...could end up nagging him his whole career guys. This is the kind of thing that concerns me.

What? You don't even know what it is yet!

If it is back spasms, they aren't necessarily caused by anything structural.

I don't know that anything more has to happen, if Mason were out long term

If Voracek wasn't having one of the best seasons I've seen a Flyers winger have since Gagne was absolutely on fire the year he popped 47 -- and Giroux's been Giroux -- but to me, Mason's clearly been the best Flyer this season

I like Ray Emery, but that's not the answer for an extended period

It is not good.
I am worried, they finally have a good goalie and now this.

Wait and see, but I am worried.

Based on the reporting of the crack Philadelphia hockey beats, who may not know the difference between a back spasm and a case of the mumps. I'd be more worried if Bill reported as a hospital eyewitness. THEN I'd worry.

Yes, without Mason, this is hands down the worst team in the league. Not necessarily talent wise but we all know this team refuses to out work their opponents.

Update on Mason?

Dead?
Concussion?
Bruised Ego?
Dead?
Broken Legs?
Vertigo?
Dead?
Case of "The Bryz?"
Dead?

According to the Twitter he didn't accompany the team to Toronto

Good luck to Mason. I'm sure its nothing serious....but I am hoping this team falls to the depths of the standings.

so the tanker get their wish and hand warrmers get theirs too...

then again this team had some goalie issues in 2010

I doubt even Hasek could make them a playoff team....

Mason will now morph into Jeff Hackett.

I doubt even Hasek could make them a playoff team....
- GOA88

its never till kts over but this is huge if mason is out for an extended period this is really bad.

Goaltending has not been the problem this season.

Fantastic. Just franking sparkling fantastic.

Game over.

I'm starting to get a suspicion that the Stanley Cup drought is going to continue. Just a hunch.

Actually its a blessing in disguise. They werent going anywhere.... now they have a legit shot at getting a top pick if its long term but I think Mason will be fine. I bet he is back in at least a week.....

this attitude is sickening at best... guess some of us have more fortitude. i find draft talk this early atrocious. losing is a sickness and winning is a lifestyle.

Well there is a difference between tanking and just sucking. I would love for them to make the playoffs but I have serious doubts they do. Even with Mason. I dont want them to quit but if they are gonna suck then I would rather it be worth it and get a great pick.

Well, if he does have muscle spasms, going on a flight wouldn't be ideal treatment.

He could always catch another flight later in the trip. I seriously doubt its major.
