How Not To Grow a Beard

So, there's no need to go into the awesomeness of playoff hockey beards or to defend the manliness of the average hockey player. But there is a need to address this. Pictured above is Penguins forward Sidney Crosby. Sidney has been forced upon the public by the NHL to be the "face" of the NHL and was immediately dubbed to be the "Next One" by them and every sponsor of the sport. I believe all interested parties are starting to have second thoughts about that, however, once they say what that "face" looks like once playoff season begins. When your beard more closely resembles a gorilla mask, you may want to consider other options. You are hardly striking fear into your opponents hearts when you look like Bam Margera used you as a practice run for the final skit of Jackass II.
