Colorado Avalanche: Ranking the Best Goalie Masks in Avalanche History
By Ross Sellers
Picks Has Two Great Masks
The first mask Calvin Pickard wore with the Avalanche, when he played 20 games with the team during the 2015-16 season, was a beauty. First of all, he sports some Avalanche greats on the left side of the mask with Peter Forsberg, Rob Blake and Joe Sakic holding down the right side.
I also love the scroll he uses to roll out his name on the chin of the mask. It’s poetic, as it were. The right side of the mask is pretty cool too:
On the left side, he has Patrick Roy and Ray Bourque, two other Avalanche greats, doing their business as usual. There’s even a little yeti action at the top left near the Avalanche logo.
His next mask is also a beauty.
Calvin Pickard’s Mask During 2016-17 Season
This one is a bit more simple, but I love the color scheme. The Avalanche logo looks like it’s reinforced with carbon fiber too. Once again, the nameplate is tasteful as well:
The right side of the mask is the same as the left. So, once again the symmetry is there. Finally, I love the big logo on top of the mask, which has been a feature of both of his masks.
Now, for the moment you’ve all been waiting for.
