Fun With Facial Hair!

One of our favorite subplots of every NHL playoffs slate is the growing of a playoff beard. Because we didn't start puberty until we were 26, we still cannot grow a beard — honestly, we're barely a mammal — so we look at the tradition with envy. A solid playoff beard can foster team unity or, in a pinch, serve as a practical place to store stray teeth.

Anyway, hockey blog Just Wide is hosting a playoff beard contest — they already have some early entries — and it's not too late to start sprouting your own. Perhaps, by the time this business is over, you will be able to braid yours. Ladies love it.

Call For Beards [Just Wide]

(By the way, the pictured beard above is one of the brave Team USA competitors in the World Beard Championships. So you know.)
