Ma-SON of Goalie Thieves, Steal Victory "So Mote It Be"

To be perfectly honest, I don't really have the right words to do justice to Chris Mason and the superlative performance he turned in earlier tonite as the winning goalie of record in Sonrise, FL. I'm still shaking my head -- no, "I am trapped in a glass case of emotion!" -- over the fact that the Thrashers were outplayed in every facet of the game save for the one position capable of atoning for an entire team's sins of commission (and omission). And Thrashers' netminder Chris Mason did it in larcenous fashion, stopping a (Joel Auerbach, Getty Images) whopping 52 of 55 shots on goal to lead his team to victory over feisty divisional foe Florida. So instead of trying to be creative with flowery prose, how about some music of "FreeMASONry" to capture the emotion of the moment? Yes, let it be so:

ANOTHER FESTIVE BOARD:

Eternal father, strong to save (our team)

Whose arms hath bound the restless wave (of pucks),

Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep (in the crease)

It's own appointed limits keep (our goal)

O hear us when we cry to thee (like Dan Kamal)

For those in peril on the sea (of ice)

O Trinity of love and power

Our Brethren shield in dangers hour,

From rock and tempest, fire and foe

Protect them whereso'er they roam.

Thus evermore shall rise to thee

Glad hymn of praise from land and sea.
