It helps you be the first one to get out of the shower after the game.'' The 1980s New York Islanders generally are credited with giving the playoff beard its start, winning four consecutive Cups sans razor. The trend since has spilled into other sports.

Osgood did leave the comfort of the Red Wings franchise after the 2000-01 campaign and spent a few years in obscurity with the New York Islanders and St. Louis Blues before returning to Detroit for the first season following the lockout. Osgood didn't win any Cups while he was away, but did have a few solid seasons despite no longer having the Detroit "system" at his disposal. In fact, while |

Bowman coached one more season in Pittsburgh, resulting in an upset playoff loss to the New York Islanders. Then he was offered a better deal by Detroit to become its coach.

Then, the not-yet-champion Oilers of Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier and Jari Kurri ran into the three-time defending champion New York Islanders.
