This is not the goaltending you need when facing the NHL's best team.
Steve Mason let in one of the worst goals in recent memory, and Washington Capitals forward Jason Chimera was credited with the marker after his neutral-zone deflection of a Karl Alzner clearing attempt beat the Philadelphia Flyers goalie five-hole.
That goal came just moments after Mason made an incredible pad save to rob John Carlson from what would've been his second goal of the game. The 27-year-old netminder was slow to get up after dropping into the splits to make the stop, but he did remain in the game.
In all fairness, Steve Mason also did this. #WSHvsPHI #StanleyCuphttps://t.co/lvlz0M3g9w
