I drink coffee out of my Red Wings coffee mug on game days, and my Michigan State mug on Football Saturdays. Also, I'll be late shaving tonight to honor the first day of the playoffs. Sports bring out the worst in otherwise rational people.

So you shave tonite and then don't shave at all the rest of the playoffs, is that the idea?

Btw, if you like hockey, or just friendly competition, please join our Stanley Cup bracket pool. We'll have the deets up by tomorrow.

The playoff beard is a time honored NHL tradition that started 30 or so years ago. A lot of us more rabid fans also wear them to support our teams. My team is the Wings. I won't shave again until they're eliminated.

Correction: he doesn't shave again until they win the cup!

I hope so. I'm a little pessimistic this year. Nashville is tough, and they'll be on the road to start :/ Definitely possible, but I'm not holding my breath.
