With two games in the Stanley Cup Final books, it's time to get down to what's really important.

PLAYOFF BEARDS!

It seems almost poetic that one of the finest playoff beards ever, cultivated by Anahiem Duck's defenceman Scott Niedermayer is on display for all the world to see. The man has truly transformed growing facial hair into an Olympic event.

Playoff Beards and the NHL playoffs have gone hand in hand now for almost 30 years now, and this season has once again proven that standard. The battle for the real Norris Trophy is on!

Last season there were a plethorough of face mullets and in the end, one Bret Hedican (defenceman of the Carolina Hurricanes) outshined the rest and took home the coveted Chuck Norris Trophy. I'm sure many of you have your favorites, but right now, I already see a player who may very well take home the title. Much like Hedican of last year, this player has emerged as Captain Bosh's favorite. Who is it?

As much as I would love to give the man his due honors, I think it only fair to wait till after the Cup is being hoisted by our new champions. Soon after that I will reveal the winner. Barring any unprecedented hair growth over the next week, or an act of terrorism by Gillette, this player will be hard to beat.

Your friend on ice,
Captain Bosh
