A new era in the NHL began yesterday as the new regulations regarding the goaltending equipment, more specifically the size of their pants, officially took effect.
Calvin Pickard is now 1-0 in the newly sized breezers and following his first game in his new pants, he already seems acclimated saying, “I didn’t really notice it. I don’t know how it looked but it was a good start in the new pants.”
While some goalies around the league have expressed their disagreement with the rule change, the two Avalanche netminders don’t feel strongly in either direction towards the subject.
