THE PLAYOFF BEARD

Beer count around 80ish.

In honor of two historic occassions: The birth of Suri Cruise and the Rangers making the playoffs, I have decided to grow the playoff beard.

In case you don't know what that means, basically, many hockey players believe it is back luck to shave during the playoffs, so therefore most of them shave the morning of Game 1 and don't pick up a razor again until they are eliminated or win the Stanley Cup. I therefore, will shave Saturday morning and won't do it again until the Rangers are bounced, so there is a chance I'll only have about 6-days growth before I have to shave again.

As for the Cruise angle. It's obvious, Katie Holmes is the biggest beard going, so she works into this too.

As for my Devils-Rangers breakdown - in a total grasping at straws move - I believe the Devils HAVE to cool down a bit and the Rangers have to get hot. We'll see. Maybe Marty Brodeur's sister-in-law will wear him down. Hey, anything's possible.

Anyway, no matter what the Rangers or Devils do, I predict a Carolina-Calgary Stanley Cup Final, with the stinky Whale winning the whole thing.
