Is it weird that I'm 18 and can grow out a beard?

No (at least not in my eyes). When I mentioned how I shaved during the 03 finals I was 15 or 16. Definitely didn't grow it in the way I would now. But it wasn't bad. Growing out a beard at 18 just means one day you'll be ready to say "I'm a man! I'm 40!"

No I could at 16. It didn't help that I shaved every day then either when I didn't really have to.

I had a mustache when I was 13. People who see pictures ask why I had a mustache, and I told them honestly I don't remember it looking as bad as it did then.

[Jersey Man]

I shaved my mustache in 8th grade. During the Giants run in '07 I grew a playoff beard (16 years old).

Nah, it's different for everybody. Men in my family tend to get proper facial hair a little late.

Pacman and his family or brother will be there.

There will be a sizable Devils presence there anyway as discuss earlier tonight. I'd imagine those Devils fans from the Florida West Coast would make the trip as well.

My buddy, and I are making the trip over from the Gulf Coast of Florida. Our buddy who lives north of Fort Lauderdale will be going, and we got a buddy from Jersey flying in too!

There was a decent amount of Devils fans at Bank Atlantic, and at the Forum in Tampa when I go to the Devils games there.

Nah, man. I'm 18 and I can grow out a beard too. It varies.

Unless I'm wrong and we're some sort of hairy mutant teenage freaks.

[Kovys Hea]

LGD!!

[ILikeItVeryMuch]

I'm fully torqued.

[Saugus]

This must be a team bonding thing, because damned if I know what it means:

Tom Gulitti ‏ @TGfireandice
The Devils players have special gray T-shirts and red hooded sweatshirts for the playoffs.

The front has the player's number and the Devils' logo. The back has a pair of dice and the phrase "Swarm it up."

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

that is amazing.

[GM17*]

Swarm is the penalty kill term isn't it?

Also, TWITTER? I hardly knew her! nyuck nyuck

[Fayne Staley]

kovy apparently designed the shirts
