I vividly remember Calvin Pickard's first NHL game. It was 2014, and the Colorado Avalanche were coming off their amazing season where they had won the Presidents' Trophy, flamed out hard in the playoffs, and had became the case study for Corsi, PDO, faith, the eye-test and analytics.
The Avs headed east on an early road trip after a very rough pre-season where the team tried to completely re-imagine defensive systems and then decided that was hopeless. Their goalie situation seemed set, even if the rest of the roster was riddled with names of players who have moved right out of the NHL in the years since.
