Although the Stanley Cup Playoffs are but two weeks old, the impact of the postseason is already starting to show in the Ducks locker room. Amidst the bruising, swelling and scars that grace the faces and bodies of those still competing for hockey’s ultimate prize is a commitment and dedication to one of the most recognizable traditions in all of sports: the playoff beard.
Embraced by many but not always everyone, it should be noted this Ducks team is going all in. From the young guys like 21-year-old Rickard Rakell and 22-year-old Jiri Sekac, to the veterans like 34-year-old Francois Beauchemin, beards of all shapes, sizes and colors are starting to bloom.
