Every forward in the NHL liked scoring goals a lot
But Picks, who played for the Colorado Avalanche, did NOT.
Calvin Pickard hated goals! The whole goal-scoring game.
Don’t ask why – for all goalies it’s the same.
It could be that his pads weren’t screwed on just right.
It could be, perhaps, that his skates were too tight.
But I think that the most likely reason of all
Was that his five-hole was simply just too small.
