Alex Ovechkin – beard is best)))))))))))) (Caps Outsider)
It’s been 20 years since the Capitals made it this far into the playoffs, so naturally, their beards should be better. Let’s take a close look at what’s going on. We rank the beards as either ‘good’ or ‘bad.’
Dmitry Orlov – bad
Devante Smith-Pelly – good
Andre Burakovsky – bad
Braden Holtby – we’re unclear if he even has a beard. Because of the mask.
Michal Kempny – good
Lars Eller – good
Jay Beagle – bad
Brett Connolly – good
T.J. Oshie – bad
Travis Boyd – good
Jakub Vrana – bad
Alex Chiasson – bad
John Carlson – bad
Brooks Orpik – good
Evgeny Kuznetsov – bad
Philipp Grubauer – we don’t know
Tom Wilson – good
Nathan Walker – good
Christian Djoos – bad
Not pictured: Matt Niskanen and Nicklas Backstrom. They’re both bad anyway.
