Question regarding playoff beards...

I’m going to the barbershop today and am thinking of getting it linedup and shaved under the jaw line. Is that bad superstition and would it make it not an official playoff beard or would it be ok to do?

I've done the playoff beard a few times, most notably in '08 when we won the title. 

I definitely trimmed it to stop from looking so discheveled so I'd give the thumbs up on that.

Hmm...  I think it may be bad karma trimming after a win.  If you're going to trim or neaten the beard, make sure you do it after a loss.

6. After a loss, and only after a loss, you are allowed to trim the beard. TRIM DOES NOT MEAN SHAVE! If you are confused about this concept, ask your girlfriend.

7. After a win, you do nothing to the beard. Nothing. Even if the next playoff series is a week away. DON’T TOUCH IT.

8. The last one was a lie. You should thank it and ask it to continue giving you luck and wisdom through a playoff run. (If you grow a playoff beard, you will become smarter. Or you will appear smarter, one of the two.)

Hey, we won the title so I'm not really gonna sit here and say "don't trim at all".  Pretty sure I was trimming whether it was centered around wins or losses. 

Guess it comes down to how superstitious one can be but I'm trimmed and things worked out a-okay.  8)

Come to think of it, I definitely also did it during one of the Sox world championships.  Can't remember which one but inclined to go with '07. 

So its actually worked a couple of times. Also, been a few instances it hasn't, though.

You know what then if that's the rule lets hope that I won't have to trim my beard until the middle of June and when the season is over.

Arguably the best goalie on the planet not named Tuuka. ;)

Big game for the Blackhawks tonight (the team not named Bruins that I'm pulling for).

Don't want to go in that 3-1 hole.

C'mon B's! End this thing tonight.  You do not want this thing going back to BUF for a Game 7.

Oh....and if the Blackhawks could end things tonight too, that'd be nice also.

I like Krejci a lot.  He had a bit of a letdown season this year but he's definitely a playmaker. Still young.
