HenrikRules40 14 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 Well not to be mean and definetly not sick. But my wife usually just goes away while playoffs are going on. She takes the kids to her moms and they hang out over there. I can just sit in my Redwings leather chair, drink my Heineken Keg Cans, eat whatever and scream at the TV. So I am not telling you to go away, but.... Or you can just shave your head like that one post said. Sorry I am of no help. Go away? Never. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Creasemonkey 30 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 I think we should have a LGW playoff beard contest this year. I'm in for sure. But when do we start growing it? Day after last regular season game? Day before first playoff game? Too late for "day your team officially makes the playoffs", but that's what I did last year. Let's get some rules in place and start annoying our wives. (Those of you without wives, just annoy yourselves. If you've ever tried growing a beard before, you'll know exactly what I mean.) Girls, I like the idea of the beard shaped patch on the leg. Draw a little smiley face in on game days if you like. You can be judged seperately if you want, as I doubt you can compete with some of the grizzly adams types around here (or at least I hope not). Proposed rules: Shave clean with a razor after the last game of the regular season. (electric shavers don't shave close enough and give unfair advantage) Post a picture of said beard the day of each playoff game. Goatee's acceptable, full beards preferred (some of you probably can't grow a full one because of work) No trimming, pruning, etc. until the Wings are out or win it all. Waiting until any team finally wins the cup is up to you, but the judging will be based upon your beard the night the Wings playoff run ends. Help out if I've forgotten anything, this is just a sketch. Matt, if you want to officiate or add/subtract any rules, I'd say that's your right as admin.

Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 I'll see you and raise you. I can grow a beard about as well as Chris Osgood. Mine's probably even worse, actually. And the other day I found a grey whisker. I'm getting grey hairs in my beard and I still can't even grow a decent one?!?! harold, for me you've always been a case of thinking somebody looks like their avatar. For whatever reason ive formed a vision of you looking just like Harold Snepts with a big thick moustache Im reading this like what,..wait, ..harold cant grow a beard??!! Im more of a scruffy fuzz guy , ive never really went passed 2 weeks though to see what it would look like. But i'd have to get a headstart for sure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicholonio 9 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 I'm going to try and grow a playoff beard, I think. I've already been trying to grow one and and off this whole year so far, so we'll see. The only thing that sucks though, is I'm hoping to get my license next month, so when I do, I would probably shave. Heh, but I'll re-grow it if it look(ed) good.

dallas27 7 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 One question for you all though.. What does your employer think of the beard? Does it still look professionally presentable? Because that's my problem. As a physiotherapist or a pharmacist there's no way you can get away with a playoff beard.. I'm not a geologist anymore I work at a golf store, as long as I keep it clean they don't care. I started mine Saturday, I couldn't wait (that's what she said). So I should have a good one by tomorrow or wednesday. I have a 5 o'clock shadow around 1 or 2.

SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted March 24, 2008 Not me. If I don't shave for about 3 days, I pretty much have a full-grown beard. It's pretty sad. I typically shave every other day, last time I shaved was yesterday morning, and I already got a ridiculous amout of growing facial hair. I work your 8-5 office job and go out to new business or existing client meetings, so I have to look somewhat respectable. I got tired of growing facial hair years ago though, I can't ignore scratching, the facial hair gets itchy, and if I scratch enough I'll eventully get scars/cuts behind the facial hair. So no beard for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ozzie30 170 Report post Posted March 25, 2008 (edited) Ladies need to ditch the string idea in favor of a more hockey oriented tradition: Playoff Mullets. Most of you likely have the party in the back, just take in the sides a bit, if you're chicken you could use barrets or something to mimick one.

Third Man In 2,091 Report post Posted April 9, 2008 So should I shave for the last time on Wednesday (for the entire playoffs) OR on Thursday (for the Red Wings playoffs). I shave the morning of game one (so Thursday) and then let it go untouched the rest of the way. The playoff beard is an obligation--school, jobs, etc. are not an acceptable excuse. One of my best friend's weddings was during the Anaheim series last year. I thought I was going to stand out because of the unkempt beard, but everyone thought it was really cool. I had another friend who gave in and shaved the day before the wedding, and he was jealous when he saw I hadn't shaved. I assume everyone's seen this website devoted to the playoff beard.
