Marner doubts he can grow playoff beard: ‘Maybe some chin hairs’

Lou Lamoriello's notorious clean-shaven rule may be a point of contention in the Toronto Maple Leafs' dressing room ahead of their playoff run. But for one player, it likely won't make a difference.

After Toronto's practice Tuesday, rookie Mitch Marner admitted he's not likely to grow much of a playoff beard.

"Maybe some chin hairs, but that's it," he said, according to TSN's Kristen Shilton.

On Sunday, team president Brendan Shanahan noted the Maple Leafs are allowed to grow playoff beards, but questioned whether much of the team would be able to.

For Marner, a trip to the Stanley Cup Final might be his only chance.
