Many Carolina Hurricanes are sporting playoff beards as they chase Raleigh's second Stanley Cup.
What they're saying : The playoff beard is an ice hockey tradition dating back to the 1980s, per ESPN, which recently recognized team captain Jordan Staal's beard as one of the greats.
"Staal's beard is thin around his lips but climbs up his cheeks like facial ivy, making him look slightly like a statesman from colonial times," the publication wrote.
