NEWARK, N. Willis McGahee Jersey .J. —Dustin Penner has the mountain man look. Ryan Carter is working a Three Musketeers-look moustache. And Zach Parises face is smooth as a babys bum. The playoff facial hair is all over the map at this Stanley Cup. Playoff beards are still in, however, and King behemoth Penner leads the way. “Not many guys can grow beard around their eyes,” said Kings defenceman Rob Scuderi, who sports not a bad bush himself. “Hes a pretty hairy guy all over,” added L.A. forward Jeff Carter, who scored the winning overtime goal in Game 2 Saturday to send the Kings home with a 2-0 lead in the series. “It didnt take him long to start filling his out.” The facial hair solidarity in the post-season is a tradition. “Its something to build around,” said Devils forward Ryan Carter. “Its just another one of those things that reminds you of where youre at.” Added teammate Steve Bernier: “I started first game of the playoffs and Ive been growing it ever since. “That was the goal, to go as long as possible.” The size of the beard does not necessarily denotes playoff success, however. Some players just grow facial hair faster than others. And some dont really grow it at all. Ryan Carter, for example, opted for a small but stylish moustache rather than the beard. “The decision is genetic actually. I dont know if I have a choice to grow the playoff beard,” he explained. “I dont have really a playoff moustache either but its what Ive got and what Im wearing.” He points to defenceman Andy Greene and forward Eric Boulton as having the best beards on a Devils lineup that is not allowed facial hair during the regular season under club rules. “Andy Greenes got a thick beard. His looks best though because hes got a little less hair on top than he does on his chin.” Advised of Carters comments, Greene breaks into a proud smile and then returns the compliment. “I think hes got the best moustache in the league going right now,” he said. “Youve got to respect that thing. Its nice.” The Kings appear to have gone all in when it comes to not shaving. Given the size of the squad, its mad for some wild-looking dudes. “Some guys are better than others, but I think everyones in on it,” said Jeff Carter, one of the big and bushy brigade. Not so in the Devils dressing room where captain Parise is unashamedly clean-shaven. “Ive been shaving all along,” he said. Greene knows why. “Zach tried growing one for the first two games. It wasnt pretty.” Jeff Carter can grow a beard with the best of them. He likes the look. “At the start it gets little itchy or what not but its been going for so long now that its pretty comfortable,” said the Kings forward And it makes the morning grooming easy. “Just get up and go,” said Carter.
