You know what? I think I'm going to shave it. At first I wasnt planning on it, even after I started this thread. But the more I think about it, the more I think I should. When I lived in Calgary in 2004, the beard worked great. That was my first time ever growing out a playoff beard(the last time the Flames made the playoffs before that, I was too young to grow one), and look what happened.
But then I moved to Edmonton for school, and grew one for the 2006 playoffs. And what happened? Flames lose in the first round, and the Oilers march all the way to the Stanley Cup Finals(maybe it only works on the team residing in the city I live in?). And now here I am again with it, and the Flames are down 0-2 in the series, and have played arguably the two most one-sided games in playoff history. The beard ain't workin unless I live in Calgary.
...not that I'm supersticious or anything
