Backes, Thornton engage in beard tug of war
Sportsnet Canada/ Twitter
The NHL playoffs can get a bit hairy as teams move closer to the Stanley Cup Final.
San Jose Sharks forward Joe Thornton and St. Louis Blues forward David Backes proved this on Sunday when the two - in the midst of a tussle - gave a nice tug on each others's beard.
Backes clearly has the advantage in terms of beard length, but Thornton could get redemption as the series prolongs and Backes' beard grows.
