Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello makes full-grown adult Kyle Palmieri shave his beard

Not a single strand of facial hair has ever slipped by Lou Lamoriello, and I highly doubt one ever will.

The New York Islanders general manager — who's made such infamous and appalling demands as forcing Tomas Plekanec to shave his Hall of Fame goatee after a 2018 deadline trade — is well known for his old-school rules.

Among the most hilarious and absurd of said rules, if not the very most, is Lamoriello's hair and facial hair policy, which regularly results in grown adult millionaires having to shave their hard-earned beards, moustaches and sweet, sweet soul patches immediately upon stepping foot into a Lou-run team's facilities.
