Jackets look very impressive last night. Mason looks like he is starting to come around these last 2 games to where he was a few years ago. I'm not going to hold my breath, but it's a good sign. I think bringing in the guys from the Nash trade that are used to winning has brought a whole new mindset to this team. I'm hoping they've turned a new leaf and are starting to understand what it takes to win at this level. Without Nash this team doesn't have a true leader and these guys understand that. I think they are all working harder this year knowing they can't just fall back onto Nash's shoulders to bring them out of a slump or to win a game.
It will be interesting to see how they respond on Tuesday against the defending Stanley Cup champs after a big win like last night. I've said it before, but this team looks alot better than anything we've seen in the 2-3 years. If these guys can go into games with more confidence and get that "winning" mentality, I think they could be fighting for a playoff spot.
