Yes, yes, March Madness betting was on last night, but something magical — and HARDCORE — happened in NHL betting.

First-place Calgary coming to town: check. 5-0 shutout win over the Flames: check. Shutting out Calgary despite receiving death threats after the first period: CHECK. Steve Mason is the man.

And we thought Columbus had no die-hard hockey fans. Well, apparently it does, only they don’t cheer for Columbus. Peter Stenzel, a 52-year-old man who undoubtedly chows down on microwavable TV dinners and RC Cola for his dinner of choice, called the Nationwide Arena several times last night and threatened to “bomb and shoot” Steve Mason.  He was promptly caught thanks to caller ID — ever heard of *67, jackass? — and arrested.

The kicker for online betting fans: the guy was covered in Flames gear when the cops crabbed him. Almost as bad as O.J.’s blood being at the crime scene. Wait a second…

Anyhoo, if you weren’t starting to trust the Blue jackets at the sportsbook, you may want to start now. Steve Mason is the man.
