The mobility of the iPhone allows me to take the game with me. I can flee a noisy discussion in which I have no interest. I can escape a recitation of household chores for which, again, I have no interest. But it takes a toll on the eyes. On Sunday, I went from big screen to small screen and back for all five games. And did the same for portions of both games on Monday night.
Now the printed word looks small and the billboards across from the office seem like just the right size of type.
And now for a few big ideas, or perhaps just some small-time thoughts:
-- More people are coming around to the notion that Steve Mason of the Blue Jackets is playing his way out of the NHL. Hockey Prospectus has been less than optimistic, and an even dimmer view of the goalie's skills has been posted on Kuklas Korner by the Puck Stops Here.
The blogger buried the lead, so I will lift it up to a point of prominence:
Steve Mason has played very poorly so far this season. He is one significant reason why the Columbus Blue Jackets are mired in last place. I think he has been the worst player in the league so far this season.
Any other write-in votes?
-- Chris Pronger is supposed to return to the lineup tonight when the Flyers play the Lightning.
-- Nashville allowed the Kings to get a big lead, then it caught up. And then, just to prove they can, they gave it all away before making things close at the end. Think the Predators will want to prove something tonight when they face the Ducks? A late start for viewers in the East.
-- Chicago is not playing well, and Columbus, in case you skipped over the Steve Mason note above, is just plain terrible. All of this makes Thursday night's Blackhawks-Blue Jackets game a must see. We should gather in the Lounge to compare notes afterward.
