Fear the Beard

The playoff beard is one of the most majestic things you will ever see in professional sports. Baseball has the cycle, Basketball has the triple-double, and hockey has the hat trick playoff beard. Some players, namely Patrick Kane and Sidney Crosby, have difficulties growing beards. Luckily for them, they're fuckin' all-stars, so it doesn't really matter. For some players though, the playoff beard is their only chance to shine in the spotlight. Without further ado, here are my top 5 playoff beards from recent NHL history:

5. Scott Niedermayer

4. Maxime Talbot

*Insert Sidney Crosby Joke here*

3. Mike Commodore

2. Paul Mara

1. Scott Hartnell

I always like to associate the playoff beard with hockey since the 1980's Islanders dynasty started the tradition. Since then, other sports have adopted the playoff beard as well, and some other players, namely Brian Wilson, could compete with almost anyone on this list. Anyways, here are my top 5 playoff beards from the NHL. Agree or disagree? Anyone I missed?
