Then he got a plan.
An awful plan.
Picks got a wonderful, AWFUL plan.
“I know just what to do!” Picks laughed behind his mask.
And he made ugly saves that left Avs fans aghast.
“All I need is a goalie glove…”
Picks looked around.
And, since he was in the equipment room, a glove he soon found.
“With this glove and my paddle, I’ll stop every puck.”
And he did id so frequently, now way could it be luck.
34 saves, 39, 47 — that was our Picks!
And he chuckled and butterflied, “What a great goalie trick!”
Staring down from his crease with a scary painted mask
At opponent skaters who skated on past.
With his pads, skates, glove and great goalie lid
He stood there on game-day stopping even Sid the Kid.
