Boy, that was some kind of pass by the Hawks’ Calder Trophy nominee to set up Michal Handzus’ shorthanded goal last night, wasn’t it?
For long time observers of both this outpost of the internet and the one a few miles back on the information superhighway, today’s beard selection should come as no surprise and might be even considered quite overdue. So it’s with that one of the patron saints of this blog is presented, the periodically bearded Chicago punk rock veteran Brendan Kelly.
That’s when I reach for my revolver.
A friend of mine once told me his one and only aim: to build a giant castle and live inside his name. Cry and whispers sing in muted pain.
Once I had my heroes, once I had my dream. But all of that is changed now, they’ve turned things inside out. The truth is not that comfortable, no.

Dating back three years to the 2010 Final against Philadelphia, the Hawks have lost the first game away from the United Center in six straight series. Overall in that time frame, the Hawks have gone 7-10 on the road, and 3-4 this post season. And in order to win this series, the Hawks will now have to win at least one game on the road, with the first of potentially three games in Boston tonight.
Today marks a bit of uncharted territory for this feature, as the season has never gone long enough to actually reach Father’s Day (Thanks again Gary and Jeremy and Rocky and Donald and…). So it’s now a great honor to present Paul Newman, though very rarely spotted in the wild with facial hair as our Father’s Day beard.
When shit gets all serious and the details surrounding a conflict are so convoluted it takes a diagnosed manic-depressive to sort it all out on a giant corkboard, there are few men with the experience, gravitas, and perspective to address the situation properly. One such man is C.I.A. agent Saul Berenson and his tremendous and rabbinical beard.
Feeling haggard today? A bit beleaguered? Just plain worn-the-fuck out?
After the fifth longest game in the history of the Stanley Cup Final, it’s more than a little understandable. One can only imagine how exhausted the players on both sides must feel. And it’s with that we present James Murphy, LCD Soundsystem frontman, the founder of DFA Records, and Patron Saint of the Exasperated Hipster, as today’s beard of the day. You know, on the occasions when it’s just too much of a fucking hassle for him to shave today, man.
Gigantic, a big, big love.
