This article contains incorrect information. It states the playoff beard was re-introduced to the NHL by the New Jersey Devils in 1995. I myself grew a playoff beard a year earlier in 1994. All one has to do is go back to photos/footage of NHL playoffs from the time of the Islander dynasty through 1994 to see numerous examples of the tradition never stopping. Without even checking I can think of Glen Anderson on the Rangers in 1994 having one. It is incorrect to site the Devils as re-instating the tradition, it just incorrect 69.141.60.52 (talk) 14:08, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The Playoff Beard shows the level of commitment and focus that the team has to win the tournament. It could probably mean that a team member won't allow something like appearance to distract him from his ultimate goal: to win.

Robert Hayes' comment in this link prompt me that altruist motive of the beard. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Luis3ignacio (talk • contribs) 05:01, 18 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The combination of a direct link in the text as well as a photo of the same product in the article, while not having a picture of a single player makes the page seem like a bit of an advertisement. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.63.80.104 (talk) 18:04, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

All of that was blatant spam, thanks for pointing it out. I've removed the offending text and deleted the image as a copyright violation. Maxim_(talk) 03:02, 23 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

And the beardo spam keeps coming back. Never once did it have a cite that showed hockey fans even care about it. 71.198.42.132 (talk) 09:55, 29 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Playoff Sweatbands?[edit]

During the early 2000s, the Charlotte Hornets began wearing identical sweatbands as a sign of unity during their playoff runs. [1] Soon, fans, the mascot, and even announcers caught on. I know it's not exactly hair-related, but is this noteworthy, and if not here, where does it belong?--MichaelProcton (talk) 03:23, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
