post pics of your playoff beard before and during playoffs A **playoff-beard** is the superstitious practice of a National Hockey League ([NHL](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Hockey_League)) player not shaving his beard during the [Stanley Cup](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Cup) playoffs. The player stops shaving when his team enters the playoffs and does not shave until his team is eliminated or wins the Stanley Cup. It is believed that the tradition was started in the 1980s by the [New York Islanders](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_Islanders). BOOO NYI FTL ---
