Sadly, this year's S.C.H.L.U.B.B. (Stanley Cup Hairabaloo: Unshaven Beard Bowl) festivities were interrupted when
seriousdanger, the web log that used to host the Beard Bowl, switched servers in the middle of the playoffs. Three hardy participants made it at least to the end of the second round, though, and now they're featured here on Just Wide:
Here's Dave, erstwhile Canucks supporter who jumped on the Calgary bandwagon at the end of round one. "As you can see from the [most recent] photo," he writes, "I'm currently battling some form of rampaging virus, and losing. I'm not 100% committed to the idea, but I'm think it might be The Plague." His Flames are in the Finals! Is he still in the Beard Bowl? Pipe up, Dave, and let us know.
Boy, do I look this tired and haggard in real life? It's probably from the stress of watching my Red Wings knuckle under to the hardest working team in show business, those Calgary Flames. The picture at far right was taken immediately after that heartbreaking series, and immediately before I shaved.
Hey, here's another Canadian S.C.H.L.U.B.B.E.R.! Flames booster Ricecakes writes: "On Saturday I suffered from a mountain bike crash, prompting me to shave my facial scruff. While my broken left wrist makes typing a bitch, I
fortunately can still drive and did not have to re-learn how to wipe. Oh, and of course we can't have two of the four remaining teams based in Canada, noooo. Go Flames!"
