They Grow Playoff Beards Too

Who’s growing a playoff beard? If you watch the local San Jose Sharks broadcasts, you’ll notice a certain play-by-play guy is going to be getting scruffy soon—hopefully, for about two months. From Randy Hahn on the Seagate Broadcaster Blog:
Sean says to grow it once the Sharks have clinched the President’s Trophy. Karla thinks right after Saturdays game against the Kings. Ron says to not grow one at all, “I know it’s tradition, but it hasn’t helped us yet. Maybe this is the year not to” (?) My favourite suggestion comes from Alex who says, “When the first battle starts. You don’t put on the Tux till the wedding day. Your commitment starts on that day, not earlier.” And there are many more.
I’m going to take a day or two to think this over and take more suggestions from my Facebook buddies. Of this I am certain. No matter how early I start growing the playoff beard it’ll never come close to matching Joe Thornton’s. He’ll need a lawnmower to cut his beard off it they win it all.
I’ve had Center Ice a while and I can’t recall any other broadcasters doing this. However, since the Sharks guys (Hahn and his BFF Drew Remenda) tend to bring the wacky during broadcasts (is there another NHL TV crew that acknowledges a fan drinking game? I don’t think so), no one should be surprised.
