Beard Martyr and Playoff Picks

In this time of Playoff Beards and such like, it pays to remember those who are prepared to make the great sacrifices for their bearded selves.  Such as the Truck driver sacked by BHP Billiton for refusing to shave off his goatee losing an unfair dismissal claim.  What is this world coming to?

Those who can shave off their NHL playoff beards after the first round include Nashville, St Louis, Vancouver and Winnipeg in the West, and N.Y. Islanders, Ottowa, Pittsburgh and Detroit in the the East.  So I only scored 2 out of 8 :( 

Which goes to show what being an optomist can do for you.

These are my picks for the second round

Tampa Bay over Montreal
NY Rangers over Washington
Annaheim over Calgary
Chicago over Minnesota

Hopefully I improve my average.
