Random Playoff Observations: Devils, Torts, Naslund, Pens, Caps, and Beard-Crime

Published by SL at 12:12 pm under Humorous, NHL News, Stanley Cup Playoffs Edit This

Brent Sutter doesn’t give a “rat’s ass” about the regular season.

John Tortorella sets a great example for Sean Avery.

Markus Naslund retired.

What the fuck?  Markus Naslund retired?  I’m betting the New York Rangers’ locker room isn’t very conducive to winning.

Pittsburgh looked flat out of the gate in Washington.  They fanned on everything and gave the puck away a lot.  Crosby has the beginnings of another great teen-stache, he’s 21-years old now.

Alexander Semin is leading his team in playoff points, he was benched for most of the Saturday’s win over the Pens.

Mike Green’s head is ridiculous.  We’ve seen some players do some dumb shit to their hair over the years during Stanley season (i.e. Wendel Clark and the boys dyeing the tips of their mullets blonde), but nothing looks as stupid as Mike Green’s waxed-muff Mohawk look.

Whatever happened to respect for the good old playoff beard?  There is far too much beard-crime in the NHL these days.  When the playoffs start, you let your beard grow… it’s simple.  Except for shaving following a series victory, there is no shaving.  Now we have these fake-ass pretty boys cutting in goatees and keeping it trim.  At the other end of the spectrum we’ve got over zealous growers jinxing their team’s Cup shot by starting a playoff beard with a couple weeks to go in the regular season.   Not mentioning any names:
