This has turned into a Scott Hartnell Tumblr by default.  Apparently no one respects the sacred lockout beard.  There’s always the playoffs…LOLOL

Anyway, Happy Holidays, from his beard to you.

Hartnell calls out his boys.

Looking good, Hartsy! Since your boy bailed on his promise, you get all our high-fives.

Hey pals! My friend and I recently started a Wordpress blog and will be rolling out some podcasts soon.  Please check out The Attacking Zone.  We’ll pretty much just rip our favourite players, report on the news from time to time and even produce some video.

GOOD NEWS, YOU GUYS

I’m just so disappointed in the lack of respect Bryzgalov and Brodeur have for one of the greatest hockey traditions.  Better luck next year, Bryzy.

To shave or not to shave the playoff beard - that is the answer Scott Hartnell has to answer.

Despite the fact the Flyers TV camera operator doesn’t know how to focus a camera (as evidenced by all of my Flyers content) you can still see that Brayden Schenn’s beard is making great progress for a 20-year-old.

Men of the NHL, Claude Giroux is a shining example of what a playoff beard should be: defined, luscious and neck beard-free.  Golf claps all around.

In this corner we have JVR stressing the fuck out over catching up to his teammates’ beards. Relax dude, we’re just happy you’re cleared to play.

To answer an earlier concern: BRAYDEN SCHENN CAN TOTALLY GROW FACIAL HAIR.  Of course he can, he’s a Schenn.

Judging from this awful, yet completely helpful camera angle (ATTN: Flyers TV - I’m a skilled TV producer and I’m available to work…) I’d say Claude Giroux respects the magic that is the playoff beard. It’s coming in nicely, and dare I say, I look forward to its progress through round 2.
