For the first time in its two-and-a-half year history, Joe Thornton's glorious beard has taken a loss.The defeat came literally atâor inâthe hands of Maple Leafs shit-disturber (and now infamous beard-killer) Nazem Kadri, who can add facial hair to his list of enemies around the NHL. The tragic incident happened Thursday just two seconds into the first frame during a fight off the game's opening faceoff between Thornton and Kadri, who engaged in some jawing and traded a few greasy stick-jabs before being kicked out of the draw and lining up at the wing.
