Good. I hope the team policy extends to all body hair and in the future they only employ players with alopecia.

Yeah Oil and Gas companies have the same policy for their operators for the same reason.

I get it with the Yankees...kinda. At least there's something rooted in history there.

But this? A brand new NHL franchise which will already have trouble attracting big name free agents? In a city known for being loose and fun? Makes zero sense.

I was just thinking the same thing this morning but to Toronto. I think it is a ridiculous rule.

Brouwer for Engo. Do it Brad.

Obviously this is what the 3:30 presser is about.

Already being an extremely remote possibility, we now know that will NEVER happen.

Marty Byrde is running the VGKs. They're not interested in winning and don't plan on making the play-offs.

Well, there are some legitimate safety concerns in certain occupations. I don't think bad ass Defenceman is one of those though.

Reading this thread and the ad on the side is for Harry's, a company that sells razors and shaving products. Sometimes the future is scary...
