The Beard is Back: LGW Official Tracker

[Sgt Sharpie 4]

Well, the ladies got their thread goin, lets get ours going!

Bring all your dirty beard pictures here

This will be my first year growing the playoff beard, when do you guys have your final shave? After the last regular season game? before the first playoff game?

who did this last year or years past? anyone scare any little children? lets hear your playoff beard stories and see those hairy mugs!

[Statts 4]

I did it last year, and I don't think there was any official rules set in stone. Some people shaved or trimmed after each series. Others went all natural through out the whole playoffs. What ever works for you.

Luckily I have a job that allows me to look like a mountain man, so I'm going all out

what kind of job is it?

[SouthernWingsFan 854]

Hehe, no playoff beard or anything for me. I could probably get away with it for some lengths of time at my job if I'm not at an event or client site or big formal meeting or whatever, but I've never had a beard before and I haven't sported a goatee in probably over 3 years. And I can easily have a pretty good grown beard if I don't shave for 3, 4 days. I grow facial hair fast. But it would be impossible not to scratch at it, it's going to itch, the same thing always happened when I tried to keep a goatee for some time. I just hate the itching. So I'm going to be lame again and be clean-shaven.

I wont say what exactly, but I work outside and don't have to deal with customers or the general public, so appearance for the most part is not an issue. Ohh and I can yell and cuss... its a great stress reliever.

Unfortunately I don't think I'll be able to grow my playoff "beard" out. I work at a respectable place now and my "beard" looks really ridiculous and scraggly. I can grow it out a bit, but it looks like I might have to shave it at the end of every round or so.

I'm contemplating if I should grow a "Parros-Porn" stache for the playoffs.

If they beat us in round 1.. then heck yes.

I can't wait to see you guys' pics! Represent and have fun.

Guys who can't grow a beard (by nature or employment) are welcome to join us gals in bracelet making/wearing. Man cards returned after the parade down Woodward.

Glad to hear the bracelets are back this playoff. I enjoyed it last season!

[Dimaline312000 51]

Already got the beard growing.

[uk_redwing 495]

I dont want to have to go to the trouble of explaining what the sport of ice hockey is to people here let alone whats with the beard.

[Mickey Redmond 15]

If my senior prom wasn't in two weeks, I would totally grow it for the length of the playoff run. As it is, I'm going to shave today after the game, the day of my prom and then not again until everything is done.

[ChitownWingsfan 54]

I'll be shaving whatever the morning of Game 1 is and then letting it grow from there. It worked last year!

[syntax 359]

Already started on mine.

[Ozzie30 170]

My friends and family shave after the last game of the season. I've kept a beard the last couple of years, but always go "nude" after the last game. I'll be taking it off tonight and only trimming when the guys lose.

[Chunkylover 26]

What is the official rule concerning when the playoff beard is supposed to be started? Can I go with what I have now or do I need to shave it off and start again now that the season is over?

[Casey 145]

I'd love to go with the beard this year, but with rotations coming up it's impossible- they nail you for being unshaven, let alone with a beard. Sucks.

[Jarret_G 0]

my last shave was today after the 'hawks game...i hope to take a pic before everygame to have a collage at the end of the playoffs....hopefully it gets so big that small birds decide to take up residence in it.

Go Wings.

I usually have a short beard going year-round, but last year right before the first playoff game against Nashville I shaved it all off.... THAT was a weird feeling. Probably the first time since high school I didn't have some kind of facial hair rocking.

I'll be going clean right before the drop of the puck in Game 1 this week, too.

[redwingslady87 130]

Here it is boys, fresh clean shaven legs.

[Nev 1,085]

Last shave will be Thursday morning, then its the hirsute look for me Last years beard was pretty epic. I fear that this years may not reach that stage

You weren't kidding about last year's beard being epic. You could've taught Crosby a couple beard-growing lessons.

(I know, I know. I hate to be a mindless Crosby basher - but with the Pedro 'stash - I just couldn't resist this time. )

LOL!!! That was priceless.

I shaved yesterday, and that's it. It's grow time from here till the end of playoffs, or I might just keep going?(within reason) BTW, hi to all! *waves*

GO WINGS!

[OsGOD 3]
