I haven't shaved since April 8th. Haven't had my hair cut for weeks before that. And why?? All for the Playoff Beardoff against Baker the Freeloader Guy. Here is the latest photographic evidence:

How pissed was I this week when the NHL announced the Stanley Cup schedule??? The Wings secured their spot on Monday night, the Pens on Sunday afternoon. Why do we have to wait until Saturday for the series to begin? Is this the Superbowl? (actually the NHL wanted to get at least the two Saturday broadcasts to draw more viewers...do they not think about the poor smucks who are growing lame playoff beards?? NOOOOOO)
Here's the Cup sched:

So who do you think takes the Cup this year?? The Pens have the youth, the Wings have the experience. I think the Pens take it in 6. Mostly because Sidney Crosby's only 20, so he won't be able to drink out of the Cup legally...
