## Jay Bouwmeester

"WHOOOOOA WHAT I'M FIRST??!" Yes, Jay. As usual, we go from least-to-most-bearded, as best I can estimate it, and sadly the veteran managed only the merest stubble. 

## Bouwmeester

The Saint Louis Blues defeat the Boston Bruins 4-1 in game 7 to win the Stanley Cup Championship NHL Blues vs Bruins, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

BUT, Beardless Bouwmeester was ALSO the first to get the cup after the team captain, which is a big honor; he played 16 seasons without a whiff of a cup, including a stint with my beloved Flames (first hockey love!), and Wikipedia tells me he also held one of the longest iron-man streaks, with 737 games in a row in a ten-year span. I am very happy for him and also accidentally downloaded two jubilant photos of him so you get them both. WHERE IS YOUR BEARD, BOUWIE.

## Vince Dunn

This sweet child is only 22\. Rub some Rogaine on that chin, son, and get to growing.

## Jordan Binnington

Binnington is the goalie -- an NHL rookie this season who was called up in December back when the team was in the toilet. He logged 16 wins in the postseason, which is the most for a rookie. Honestly, this worst-to-first arc has got to be BEYOND surreal for so many of these guys.

"Aw. I love you guys too. Even you, Respectful Bruins Fans. My chin fuzz and I feel excellent about our future prospects."

## Tyler Bozak

He'd been with the Leafs for a long time before this season. A Cup is a nice reward for having to move. 

## Ivan Barbashev, left, and Vladimir Tarasenko

I love how the fans are banging on the glass, and also clearly kind of hoping someone will magick it away so that they can touch the Cup. I FEEL YOU, FANS.

## Brayden Schenn

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Charles Krupa/AP/Shutterstock (10303449bn) St. Louis Blues' Brayden Schenn carries the Stanley Cup after the Blues defeated the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final, in Boston Stanley Cup Blues Bruins Hockey, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

"You guys what happens when they run out of space on this thing?" (Actually, y'all, [I found a really interesting article on this, complete with photos and then one theoretical diagram of what it would look like if they just kept adding and never subtracting.](https://www.quora.com/What-happens-when-the-Stanley-Cup-runs-of-out-free-space-for-new-winners?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io))

## Jaden Schwartz

I hope Brayden and Jaden are on the same line. With... Caden, and Grayden.

## David Perron

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Eric Canha/CSM/Shutterstock (10303551m) St. Louis Blues left wing David Perron (57) hoists the Stanley Cup at game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals between the St Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins held at TD Garden, in Boston, Mass. The Saint Louis Blues defeat the Boston Bruins 4-1 in game 7 to win the Stanley Cup Championship NHL Blues vs Bruins, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

Somehow he looks like an extra they hired to play the role of Man In Skates Can't Believe He's Holding Antique Drinking Vessel.

## Carl Gunnarsson

"Do I have anything in my teeth? No? Okay."

"I AM SHOWING ALL OTHER 22 YEAR OLDS HOW A DOWNY FACE GROWTH CAN BE DONE!"

## Alexander Steen

Wow. A LOT of happy beards in this shot, including one over Steen's shoulder on the right of the frame who looks like he's being played by Jimmy Fallon.

## Colton Parayko

I do love a Redbeard.

## Colton with Laila Anderson

Colton also mad sure Laila got the cup, and hugged her, and has been really sweet with her. FEELINGS.

## Alex Pietrangelo

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/06/shutterstock_10303551r-1560448238.jpg)

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Eric Canha/CSM/Shutterstock (10303551r) St. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (27) shakes hands with National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman during game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals between the St Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins held at TD Garden, in Boston, Mass. The Saint Louis Blues defeat the Boston Bruins 4-1 in game 7 to win the Stanley Cup Championship NHL Blues vs Bruins, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

The captain had a truly spirited beard that he groomed into a funky shape. I wonder if he eats a lot of soup during the playoffs and he just got really sick of the dribbles lodging on his chin?

## Pietrangelo

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Eric Canha/CSM/Shutterstock (10303551p) St. Louis Blues defenseman Alex Pietrangelo (27) hoists the Stanley Cup at game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals between the St Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins held at TD Garden, in Boston, Mass. The Saint Louis Blues defeat the Boston Bruins 4-1 in game 7 to win the Stanley Cup Championship NHL Blues vs Bruins, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

He's played with the Blues his whole career and I am delighted for him. They all deserve to be happy, but the veterans get me the mistiest -- the ones who've been there through all the muck, and the times when they got tantalizingly close.

## Robert Bortuzzo

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/06/shutterstock_10303453w-1560448186.jpg)

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Charles Krupa/AP/Shutterstock (10303453w) St. Louis Blues' Robert Bortuzzo carries the Stanley Cup after the Blues defeated the Boston Bruins in Game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Final, in Boston Stanley Cup Blues Bruins Hockey, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

But I had to rank Robert's beard as beardier than Alex's. It is majestic. His ecstasy here might be due in part to knowing he's putting his best shrubbery forward here in this historic moment.

## Ryan O'Reilly

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/06/shutterstock_10303551i-1560448199.jpg)

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Eric Canha/CSM/Shutterstock (10303551i) St. Louis Blues center Ryan O'Reilly (90) skates away with the Conn Smythe Trophy at game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals between the St Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins held at TD Garden, in Boston, Mass. The Saint Louis Blues defeat the Boston Bruins 4-1 in game 7 to win the Stanley Cup Championship NHL Blues vs Bruins, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

Did he win the Conn-Smythe for his on-ice play, or his off-ice manscaping? YOU DECIDE.

## Chris Thorburn

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Eric Canha/CSM/Shutterstock (10303551u) St. Louis Blues right wing Chris Thorburn (22) kisses the Stanley Cup at game 7 of the NHL Stanley Cup Finals between the St Louis Blues and the Boston Bruins held at TD Garden, in Boston, Mass. The Saint Louis Blues defeat the Boston Bruins 4-1 in game 7 to win the Stanley Cup Championship NHL Blues vs Bruins, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

I wish I had a photo of his face. But sideways is so striking. It looks like a hair shelf.

## Tuukka Rask

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2019/06/shutterstock_10303453i-1560448172.jpg)

Mandatory Credit: Photo by Charles Krupa/AP/Shutterstock (10303453i) Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka Rask, of Finland, stands in the spotlight before Game 7 of the NHL hockey Stanley Cup Final against the St. Louis Blues, in Boston Stanley Cup Blues Bruins Hockey, Boston, USA - 12 Jun 2019

I often like to shout out to the opposing goalies, just because. I've long thought goalie is the absolute most emotionally fraught job, and Rask has had moments of brilliance throughout the playoffs. It just wasn't his night, and while this was taken early in the game and not at the end, it certainly encapsulates how it must feel at times to be a netminder.

## The Blues
