PHILADELPHIA -- Steve Mason skated off the Flyers ice to a roar he waited a career to hear. The thunderous cheers quickly changed to an appreciative chant: "Ma-son! Ma-son! Ma-son! Headed to New York with new life, Mason sure earned this curtain call. Mason stopped 37 shots for his first career post-season win, Matt Read and Jakub Voracek scored and the Philadelphia Flyers evened their first-round matchup against the New York Rangers with a 2-1 win in Game 4 on Friday night. In his first start of the series, Mason shut down the Rangers, and shut out the noise of a raucous crowd. "The crowd is unbelievable this time of the year," Mason said. "Its definitely loud out there. Sometimes, its almost too loud for a goaltender. You cant hear the shot being released." He had no trouble keeping his eye on the puck and was in top form almost two weeks after he suffered an upper-body injury. Ray Emery was solid in the first three games but Mason played the final 7:15 in a 4-1 loss Tuesday night. Mason was just getting warmed up. He played perhaps his best game of the season, denying a Rangers team that pressured him with shots all game. He was a wall in the final tense minutes when the Rangers pulled goalie Henrik Lundqvist for the extra attacker. Dominic Moore scored for the Rangers, who squandered their chance to win the series this weekend at home. Game 5 is Sunday at Madison Square Garden. "You dont want to go to MSG down 3-1 in the series and have to win in that building," Mason said. "For us, it was pretty much a must win." The Rangers outshot the Flyers 16-6 and dominated a first period that put Mason to work in a hurry. But the Flyers escaped with a 1-1 tie after Jason Akesons shot off the backboards bounced straight to Read, who beat Lundqvist on his left side for the goal. "He told me he meant to do that," Read said. "It came right to me. I just had to one-time it. I think Lundqvist got a piece of it but well take it." Read caught Lundqvist out of place at the perfect time. "I didnt expect it to come out that fast and on his stick," he said. "It was hard for me to come across." Voracek redirected Brayden Schenns shot from the slot past Lundqvist for a power-play goal and a 2-1 lead. Mason had never played with a lead in five career post-season starts. Mason hadnt started a playoff game in five years since his rookie season with Columbus. The Blue Jackets were swept by Detroit in that series, and the late-season injury against Pittsburgh delayed his Philadelphia post-season debut. "I waited a long time for it, but one doesnt do much in the long run," Mason said. Flyers captain Claude Giroux hasnt scored in the series but his strongest performance came after Game 3s loss when he said, "Were going to tie up the series and go back to New York." Off theyll go to New York, the series tied. "Its going to be better for us mentally to go up there," Giroux said. Giroux limped to the bench after taking a hard hit from Mats Zuccarello late in the third. Giroux, third in the NHL with 86 points, had no shots on goal in the first two games and has only two assists through four games. Moore gave the Rangers a 1-0 lead when he joined the rush out of the penalty box and scored on a wraparound goal 4:38 into the game. The Rangers pounded Mason with shot after shot, doubling the Flyers total for most of the first two periods. Mason was sprawled in the crease stopping several shots and kept the Flyers in a game they desperately needed to win. "He looked confident right from the get-go, and he had to be in the first," coach Craig Berube said. Lundqvist, an eight-time All-Star and 2012 Vezina Trophy winner, stopped 23 shots but was betrayed by an offence that couldnt convert open looks. The Rangers were 0 for 4 on the power play and are 0 for 12 since Game 2. "We got good looks, but this time of year you need more than good looks," Rangers coach Alain Vigneault said. "You need to get the job done." Notes: The Rangers have scored first in the last three games. ... Flyers D Nicklas Grossmann left the game in the second period with a lower-body injury. ...

This week my attention will be divided between two magnificent meetings. We have the Galway Festival, where stamina aplenty will be needed to stay the seven-day trip at Ballybrit. Running alongside the Irish extravaganza is Glorious Goodwood with its unique charmcgoing to try and unearth my best bets for the week, so here goes!To Goodwood and on Thursday the big race is the Qatar Goodwood Cup. I love Cup horses as we are given the opportunity to get to know them well because they are usually around for quite a few years - more long-term romance than speed dating! One horse that has crept into the public consciousness over the past couple of seasons is Big Orange and he is bidding to pull off a feat that has only been achieved once in the past. He will try and win back to back Cups at this meeting, something done by another old favourite, Double Trigger, back in 1997/98 (Was it really that long ago?!).Big Orange has an attractive profile. He loves fast ground, is proven over the unusual cambers of the track and is getting better with age. At five, he probably still has more to come, he seems uncomplicated, and his trainer Michael Bell has his horses in tip-top form.So its back to Goodwood for my final selections. It wouldnt be right not to try and unearth something in one of the big sprint handicaps which are synonymous with this meeting, so lets try andd find one (or two) to back in the Qatar Stewards Cup on Saturday.dddddddddddd.It hasnt taken much digging to find Brando who will carry top-weight in the six-furlong cavalry charge if he lines up. Hes currently a 10/1 shot with Sky Bet and comes here with some classy form. He has been running in Group races and was a good second to Meccas Angel in a Group Two at the Curragh earlier this month. Prior to that he won the Coral Charge at Sandown, both races coming on easy ground.Kevin Ryans four-year-old doesnt seem to need that kind of surface though and has run well on faster ground once or twice. He was only just beaten in the Wokingham on his last start in a handicap and comes here at the top of his game.The horse that finished one place behind him at Royal Ascot was Glen Moss. I fancied the Michael Dods trained horse to run a big race in the International at Ascot last week, but he wasnt declared. Providing the ground isnt like a road, I hope he can run well too and at 20/1 with Sky Bet is worth an each-way investment.Its worth taking a look to see where the favoured stalls positions are before making your final decision, but those two will do for me at this stage.Enjoy the week, may you be lucky and make sure you have fresh batteries in your TV remote as you are going to need them!
