            I've been growing out a winter beard and I just hate that I'm going to have to shave it for my fight before the holidays lol. Could it be an image thing?

              So it's easier to see your chin perhaps?

              Beards like this>>>



              Just aren't going to cut it.

                I always hated having to ditch the playoff beard in the middle of the NHL playoffs and had to explain to everyone why.

                  Because those that conjure up and enforce the rules aren't manly enough to grow decent beards. Signs of insecurity.
