Superstitious playoff-bound hockey players routinely grow beards and mustaches for the duration of their postseasons. So with the AHL Wolves facing Cincinnati in the second round, RedEye’s Bag Boy checks the progress of two Wolves players and their coach through the 2005 playoffs (photographed April 29.)
John Anderson Coach
“He’s going mustache-only, and that’s cool. Coach, let me know when you have something pop through, big fella.”
Derek MacKenzie C
“That’s not bad for starters … unless he’s been working on this for two weeks. I’ve seen week-old Chia Pets with more growth.”
Brad Larsen LW
“Fuzzy Wuzzy was a bear, Fuzzy Wuzzy had no hair. Fuzzy Wuzzy wasn’t very fuzzy, was he?”
