Nope! Didn't vote for the bearded one.

Wait, is the picture of Weber going to have a beard or no beard?

Because I'm really just voting for the beard if it is

Crap and now I've thought of the word beard too much and its lost all meaning. I hate when that happens

[GMGates]

If Nashville can't find a way to resign Shea, they should at least resign the beard.

If Nashville can't find a way to resign Shea, they should at least resign the beard.

Who says the beard will come any cheaper?

I heard Edmonton made a pitch for the Weber/beard duo but they were asking more than the maximum salary for a player and the NHL refused to acknowledge them as two separate entities.

[GMGates]

Tight race my friends!

Just a little over 24 hours remaining - anything can happen.

Weber takes Poll I, moves on to the finals.

Poll Closed!
