Scotland, we need to have a talk about...

PLAYOFF BEARDS

What is a playoff beard?
Playoff beards are a tradition among sport teams in North America that began in the greatest league of all, the National Hockey League. When one's team reaches the playoffs, the day before playoffs begin, the players (and/or fans!) capable of growing beards shave off all their facial hair.

Do I get to keep my eyebrows?
Of course; this shouldn't even be a question. You should be ashamed of yourself for even asking.

Can I groom my beard during playoff season?
No.

When do I regain agency over my own face?
When your team is eliminated or they win!

Why should I participate this?
Because it's a tradition. And because, after Montrose's display, I suspect a fair number of you are hockey players at heart. Embrace it, my beautiful bairns.

ALEC URQUHART
Wednesday evening. Free?

DANI MIRACLE
In the interest of your interest in whether or not my well-being has, in fact, been well, I have decided to share with you a very confidential document. More sensitive sections have been redacted to protect the innocent.

If you show it to anyone, I will end you.

Does trimming improve team luck? Do certain facial hair styles confer more luck for certain things?

[Maggie]
Given that official dates aren't out yet and you have a seat on the pitch for Portree matches...


Is this a hockey playoff?

It depends on who you ask, for both questions. I, however, don't believe either have sway on the hockey gods. And I've never been wrong in my life.

[Alec]
The portkey and tickets for a Stanley Cup match would cost a fu Quidditch, Urquhart. Try to keep up.

So your answer on grooming doesn't hold up. Long as the beard stays intact we can make efforts to make it neat?

[Maggie]
If this is the league you got kicked out of, I reserve the right to comment on how strategic and reasonable the new beater is.

There are different schools of thoughts. [...] Playoff Protestants and Playoff Catholics.

[Alec]
Low blow, especially as their new beater's a complete bawbag. It's a proper league that I've never played nor worked for.

Playoff Orthodox types grow the beard from the start of the season and don't shave until playoff elimination?

[Maggie]
Are you the one spreading the rumour that their old beater was a brawbag?

I'm curious and probably should worry but after that ridiculous 19h match, I feel it can only be better.

Amen.

[Alec]
I'll have you know I have supporters in that league, even if the administration is also a load of bawbags.

It won't run longer than two hours, Scout's honour.

Mm yes your supporters, have they started a petition yet to get you back in?

I'll hold you to that, think I could only handle short matches after all this.

[...] Of course not. I wouldn't have the time, it would be a waste of resources.

May want to watch what you say, what with playoffs and Neep still to go. And I plan to hold the fuck out of your hand whenever I'm not clapping, in public, so now you've got two days to mentally prepare.

I'm sure that's all that's holding them back.

[...] Reall How clammy do your hands get? It's part of the mental preparation to be ready for all hand conditions.

I'm offended. My hands are perfectly fine, thank you very much.

The dress code is casual... In case that wasn't clear.

I think I'll have to be the judge of that come Wednesday.

On a scale of hungover Graphorns to Wizard Theatre, how casual?

Is there a scale I should be aware of beforehand? Study materials? Exercises?

Much closer to the former than the latter; ties not even an asset.

Initial assessments are best done without prior preparation so as to best track improvement over time.

Well then what are you wearing?

Didn't realize my bo I was dating a Ravenclaw.

Ravenclaws don't have a monopoly on a methodical approach.

What? [...] Okay well the question implies you are wearing something so really

Or on being nerds, apparently.

You're rather forward this evening, making assumptions about my state of dress (or potential lack thereof).

I'm not thinking anything of your state of dress! Only your dress code example for Wednesday

Presumably I'll be wearing clothing. That is, unless you have an opinion to the contrary.

Are you sure about that? Because I may be open to suggestions.

I'll be in a jumper and jacket.




And trousers, in case that bit wasn't quite clear enough.
