So, Ken Hitchcock's 500th NHL win last night, against the Maple Leafs. He almost smiled! Almost :/

I feel so bad for their goalie situation. Leclaire is out with the ankle, and they're just starting Steve Mason over and over and over. He was playing through a strained lower back, before (try doing the splits with your back fucked-up...fun!) and last night they said he was just coming off mono and had 50 family members in the audience watching. And they still won in a shootout, in no small part due to him.

I was just in one of the Blue Jackets' fan stores (there's an enormous one at the Mall at Tuttle Crossing in Columbus), and there was a giant rack of Steve Mason jerseys front and center. So there's that.
