Question

Do you look down on hockey players that make no attempt at a beard during the playoffs?

Answer 1

Yes I do. Because it is a hockey tradition and I think facial hair on a man is s**y anyway. But as a hockey player myself. Grow the beard respect tradition.

Answer 2

No, because some people can't grow facial hair.  Osgood can't, so he doesn't try.

Answer 3

No.  Some players just aren't big on tradition.

Answer 4

No, and I kinda think Crosby shoulden't have tried.

Answer 5

not really

a tradition is not a law

Answer 6

nah if i was a guy and an nhl player in the playoffs i dont think id grow one

Answer 7

yes, only if they are able to grow one

Answer 8

it's all personal preference, i'm not gonna look down on somebody just because they don't want to do something... lol i believe in not giving in to peer pressure.

Answer 9

i was just having a conversation with my friend about this and we both agree that we shouldnt ( and also crosby shouldnt try either ) because it is just a superstition for some and others just dont want to because..they dont!  it is their own face.  of course growing a 'playoff beard' does show spirit and stuff but it all comes down to how many goals you put in the net or stop from coming in your net, right .

GoPensGo !!!!

Answer 10

No.  The islanders started that tradition, so by way of circular logic it's a stupid one.;

Answer 11

Only players that have the ability to grow a full healthy beard and don't. If Sydney Crosby decided he didn't want to grow out his facial hair I wouldn't hold it against him.
