An incredible sprawling save from former Philadelphia Flyers goalie Steve Mason deserves recognition as one of the best plays of last season.

The Philadelphia Flyers entered the 2016-17 season with a pair of starting-caliber goaltenders in their contract years, ready to duke it out for the starting job moving forwards. Steve Mason and Michal Neuvirth were both coming off strong years, and it seemed like the competition would bring out the best in the two of them.

Now, the Flyers have two question marks in net, who could be the team’s primary goalie tandem for the next two years. One of those is Brian Elliott, with whom there is reason for optimism but remains an uncertain quantity due to his age. The other is Neuvirth, who somehow beat out Mason despite posting a horrific .891 SV% to Mason’s .908.

Perhaps the Flyers kept Neuvirth over Mason because they could keep him at a lower price tag, knowing that young reinforcements like Anthony Stolarz and Carter Hart would soon provide the stability the team has long been seeking. But even if that was the case, it still stung to watch the Flyers alienate and cut ties with the superior goalie out of the two.

Steve Mason was one of the best comeback stories the team has seen in a while. After falling from Calder Trophy winner to disappointing veteran, Mase revitalized his career with the Flyers, recording a .918 SV% over his four years in Philly. While it ended on a sour note, and had a few painful moments, Mason was largely a very good goalie for the Flyers and a pleasure to root for.

As such, Mason deserves a spot on this series of last season’s great plays. This incredible save against the Rangers fits the bill.

The play starts with a failed pinch by Shayne Gostisbehere, igniting an odd-man rush for the Rangers. Although the Flyers backcheck closes in quickly enough to force Pavel Buchnevic’s crossing pass out a little earlier than he would like, Rick Nash still gets an excellent one-timer opportunity. That’s when Mason stretches across the crease to make a phenomenal save, the puck just catching the toe of his skate and kicking up into the air.

It’s a stop well-deserving of a place on this list of great plays. Here’s hoping Elliott and Neuvirth can provide more of the same next year.
