TheAussiePosse Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) Last time we were in the playoffs, the entire team attempted to sport handlebar moustaches (I could not find any quality pictures, so feel free to add them). Maybe it was cursed, who knows, but with another playoff run beginning next Thursday, you have to wonder what facial hair the team will be sporting on Thursday? I know it's a young team, and as many are clean-shaven Europeans, we may not see much of a 'stache at all. Still, there are enough hairs to go round, and as the core of the team will be looking to keep the team looking and feeling like a team Any guesses? Do the Habs have it in them? Or is it totally 2006, and therefore out of fashion? Will our idea be stolen by other teams? (A little old school, but possible in the later rounds) A guide to playoff beards Edited April 17, 2008 by TheAussiePosse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Habsfan Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I get the impression that because we have soo many yougsters on this team, we won't be seeing many Foomanchu mustaches or beards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wamsley01 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I rocked the handlebar with them in 2004. Got to do what I can to please the Karma gods I also refused to cut my goatee on their 2006 surge to the playoffs until they made it, then revised it until they were eliminated. It started after the Olympics and got huuuuuge. I looked the Jim "The Anvil" Niedhart by the end. I am still trying to decide on beard, stache or goatee. I will go with what they decide Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromage Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 (edited) I've been growing the playoff beard since Montreal clinched against Buffalo. It's already started to get itchy lol. I already went to an interview with it, and they asked me about it. I probably got the job because I'm a such a diehard Habs fan.

TheAussiePosse Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Any predictions? Maybe they'll try the neck beard, or the jawline-beard, since they're all pretty young? But to quote Rusty Venture, "A BEARD IS NOT A SUBSTITUTE FOR A JAW LINE". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to going since we clinched as well - but I actually shaved it off for an interview... Working it back now though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAussiePosse Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 What is it with everyone doing interviews around here? I coincidentally stopped interviewing for jobs and shaving when the Habs clinched (and fortunately got an offer, or I'd look like a fool). But I don't think it'll pass for long. I'm so glad we had that thread before about shaving, I've forgotten what it's like not to catch food in my goatee. Flavour-saver, it is. Urgh, O/T DOES ANYONE HAVE (OR CAN ANYONE FIND) PLAYOFF PICTURES FROM 2006 WITH THE HABS SPORTING MOUSTACHES? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazy26 Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I can't remember where I found this wallpaper, but here's Saku with the foomanchu mustache. I personally hope they don't return to this look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAKS-AVENUE Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 Exciting times boys. It is so nice to be posting in a thread that is discussing play-off beards. We will kill the B's! No doubt about it. I started growing my facial hair in September. It's looking pretty good huh? GO HABS GO!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMPL Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 I like Scott Neidemayer style. Chips had a rank beard during the calder cup run, along with Price who had a pretty good beard. Can't wait to see what Parros has in store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trizzak Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I already rock the full beard. If I don't trim it this playoff run I'm going to start looking like I grew up on Kashyyyk. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MMPL Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 (edited) Komi said hes going with the "Ugly, scruffy full beard". Price wasn't sure on what he wanted, he joked that the team should go with Stashes. Edited April 8, 2008 by MMPL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazy26 Posted April 8, 2008 Share Posted April 8, 2008 I already rock the full beard. If I don't trim it this playoff run I'm going to start looking like I grew up on Kashyyyk. I love Star Wars references. I'm debating growing a beard myself. BUT there's work, the possibility of interviews, and the fact that some of my friends say that I look like a terrorist with a beard. Personally, I tend to think it's the crazy in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
