Another Playoff Beard
A few days back, one of my NHL Fan House colleagues, Tom Luongo, wrote about the tradition of the playoff beard. Normally, it's a tradition that's limited to actual NHL players, but not anymore:
To show support for my Devils, I am joining them in protest of shaving. I will track both mine and the team's transplendent growth as they progress through the playoffs, as long as the Devils are still alive. Last year was notable because Colin White and Scott Gomez decided to forego the beard for some awful sideburn/mustache concoction; hopefully someone on the Devils decides to top that this year, because I'm going straight up grizzly man.
Now that's commitment. Check out the results, here.

I am, sadly, out of the playoff beard growing this year, with the Avs missing the playoffs.
I encourage anyone else to do it, though. This tradition needs to cross sports.
