As for Mason? If he has another terrific second half, like he did last season, he still has a chance to sign a contract extension here. He led the second-half surge that enabled the Flyers to capture a playoff berth last year. He has had his good moments this season, especially during the team's 10-game winning streak, when he was 8-0 with 2.33 goals-against average and .926 save percentage. But he has been rather ordinary, or less, in other stretches.
