TSN.ca has elevated Steve Mason to #3 in it’s Player Power Rankings, released January 6. This was the first time Steve was eligible for the list, under their Games Played criterion, which requires 28 games played. He trails only Alexandre Ovechkin and Evgeni Malkin on the list.
Congrats Steve!!!
A native of the SF Bay Area, my first exposure to hockey was the SF/Oakland/California Golden Seals, including Charlie Finley and the white skates. Fast forward to the late 1980's when Gretzky and the Kings came up to the Bay Area for an exhibition game at the Oakland Coliseum Arena, for which we had glass seats. I was at the first San Jose Sharks game in the Cow Palace, and followed them for their first few pathetic years, before moving to Columbus in 1994. I attended the first pro-NHL rally downtown, and have been a season ticket holder since Day 1, wife & I are active in the Jacket Backers, and son is an avid fan as well. I cover the Jackets for Inside Hockey, and contribute regularly to a variety of hockey sites. I maintain contact with the Jackets organization, and like to dig into stories, bringing a fresh, and sometimes irreverent perspective to hockey.

Nash made the all-star team, Mase snubbed. Surprise there, huh?
