NBC Sports chairman Mark Lazarus has some critical words about one of the best traditions in sports. The playoff beard.
The TV executive, who’s been watching the growth of the NHL playoffs across the network, really wishes playoff beards weren’t such a huge thing.
“The players won’t like this, but I wish they all would stop growing beards in the postseason,” Lazarus told the Chicago Tribune. “Let’s get their faces out there. Let’s talk about how young and attractive they are.”
OK, let’s do that. Speaking as a hockey fan (and a lady) I think a lot of players are more attractive with a bit of facial hair.
