PrintRyan Kennedy over at The Hockey News has a good look at the early editions of this year's playoff beards. Among those he's picked out, which is your favourite so far?

One of the oldest in the book.

I think this is another “false start” that jealous broadcaster references below. Mara had a full beard in game 2 and 3 I noticed. No way he started his beard after the regular season ended.
Of course, NYR kind of had to rally and play “playoff hockey” to get in….Much like STL did.
I wasn't sure
I googled his name and only found him beardless, so I couldn’t tell when he started it. With the influx of “playoff push” beards I say we include them anyway.
Nice. I came in here to nominate Paul Mara as well, for the sole reason he looked exactly like Zach Galifianakis:
What a human being.

Mason's ineligibility...
Chris Mason should be disqualified from the competition as he has a beard… NOT a playoff beard.
Dude rocked that thing most of the year by my recollection.
FALSE START!

That thing wasn't there
at the beginning of the season, as his NHL.com profile will attest to:
He started with a simple goatee, as you see.

I find great satisfaction . . .
in the fact that there are THREE Blues on here. Not because there are three Blues, but the fact that they even MADE the playoffs in the first place and had the opportunities to GROW playoff beards.

Toews? Seriously?
That thing Toews is growing reminds me of that great childhood toy, the magnetic-facial-hair-thingy!
I believe the proper term for Sid the Kid's facial hair is "Molestache"

Mason's was the best!
But he cheated of course! Zetterberg always has the beard going: pre-season, regular season or play-offs!

Can’t vote against Mason, that beard is just massive. Scott Niedermayer’s beard will always be an inspiration, and I’m still convinced that’s half of what won them the Cup in ’07.
