I should clarify that I'm super amused by the playoff beards because there's such a wide variety of facial hair to be had. Toews has the Amish muttonchops and Kaner has the Teen Wolf. Saader's been looking like Jesus. A couple of the guys are REALLY GINGER. Most of them look like unkempt lumberjacks, although I kinda like it on Crow.

Johnny Oduya's beard is perfect, though. He's the handsomest.

I LOVE ODUYA SO MUCH.

I know, when they first started, they could barely grow beards! Those kids.

It's true there is Blackhawk hotness going hidden under all that sruff, though.

Some of it is genuine hotness and some of it is "I have grown accustomed to your face and your hockey ability is hot enough to make me enjoy it."

At one point when we were playing the Ducks, they showed Ryan Getzlaf shirtless in the locker room and all of us exclaimed in horror. (I'm sure Getzlaf is crying into his millions.)

On a day I work from home I might only get 2k on the Fitbit. Good days, when walk somewhere AND go to the gym, I hit the 10k goal. Average day is probably around 6 or 7k though.

But you can definitely change the goal, sj--we gave my mom one and I made the goal 3k steps to start, because she was just getting walking again after surgery and tired easily.

Aww, I love Bick's Pits. Ooh, Bickell will probably get traded, huh? Man, I'm doing a lot of waiting for the hammer to fall, huh? I should probably just enjoy the championship.

Johnny Oduya, ladies and gentlemen.

Thank you for these pictures, finally!

See, Hossa appears to be able to grow a normal beard. Toews has some weird neck beard and Kaner looks like a civil war general or John Quincey Adams!

It was 60 in Chicago when I left for work, but it's only 52 in Highland Park. I guess I should have worn something on top of my t-shirt.
