I love it. He had an amazing postseason and his line with Tanner Pearson and Tyler Toffoli was tremendous. ## Anze Kopitar ![Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-anze-kopitar-450586658_10.xml) That beard is SERIOUS Ebeneezer Scrooge material. I am curious if Kopitar hurt a hand, or something, and never told the public. He led the team with 26 points in the playoffs, but only five goals, AND 19 of his points were in the first two series. He had 4 assists in seven games against the Blackhawks and 3 in five games against the Rangers, and no goals in that stretch. Very strange for someone who was scorching hot in against the Sharks in particular, and his ice time did not diminish and his skating looked fine, but he lost all his puck finesse and almost always tried to dish it instead of take the shot. WE SHALL SEE. ## Dustin Brown ![Dustin Brown, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/dustin-brown-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-450586892_10.xml) HOCKEY. HOCKEY. HOCKEY. ## Dustin Brown ![Dustin Brown, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-dustin-brown-img_8049.xml) Let's just go in for a closer look at Dustin Brown here. Liam McHugh of NBC was like, "Well, thank GOD he gets to shave THAT soon." It's like rusty steel wool. If he cuts it off properly, I could use it to clean the grout on my white-tile kitchen counter. ## Dustin Brown, Los Angeles Kings ![Dustin Brown, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/dustin-brown-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-450587466_10.xml) Nobody puts Baby in the corner, but methinks EVERYONE puts Baby in the Cup. Definitely best to do that when it's just been polished, because I am afraid for what will happen in or around that cup when the players get to have their way with it (they each get to take it for a day, and they CLAIM it is treated reverently, but... there are stories). ## Alec Martinez ![Alec Martinez, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/alec-martinez-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-img_8080.xml) "HOLY SHIT YOU GUYS I JUST MADE THE PUCK GO IN AND WE WON THE STANLEY CUP I AM SO GETTING A RAISE." ## Trevor Lewis ![Trevor Lewis, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/trevor-lewis-los-angeles-la-kings-stanley-cup-final-win-450588580.xml) It should be noted that Trevor's face got jacked up IN this game. He was slashed by a stick. AND WENT BACK IN LATER. Seriously, watch one series, much less all four, and then realize how many games they played before the playoffs, and you realize what a freaking athletic gauntlet it is to win that trophy and thus why it's the awesomest one. ## Mike Richards ![Mike Richards, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/mike-richards-los-angeles-la-kings-stanley-cup-final-win-450586964.xml) Mike Richards has cultivated a soul patch in addition to his facial shag. ## Marian Gaborik ![Marian Gaborik, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/marian-gaborik-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-450587298_10.xml) Gaborik used to be a Ranger, and now he helped annihilate them. I love sports. ## Justin Williams ![Justin Williams, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final, Conn-Smythe Winner](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-justin-williams-img_7994.xml) I love the grey in his beard. And damn, I picked a good year to make Justin Williams one of my hockey boyfriends (because I am twelve). He was relentless, had more points in post-season Game Sevens than anyone in history, I believe, and had 9 goals and 16 assists. He was also my speculative pick for MVP, although Drew Doughty or Gaborik would've been fine with me also. HOWEVER: We were down 0-3 in the opening series to San Jose, and I expressed frustration with Marian Gaborik, and then he turned it ON and we won the series. Alec Martinez appeared to contribute to two own goals in the Anaheim series, and when I expressed my displeasure with him rather colorfully in the Chicago series, he had two huge assists and then scored the Cup winner in double overtime. Two or three times I was vocal about my rage fog to Jessica during games, and we scored minutes later. So, I don't want to take anything away from Conn-Smyte winner Justin Williams, but I think we all know that my MAGICAL HATERADE was the true MVP. This means they can put my name on the cup, yeah? Yeah. ## Bromance! ![Dustin Brown and Jarret Stoll, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-dustin-brown-jarret-stoll-img_7949.xml) I love a man-hug. Also, Stoll, the King of the Face-Off, has a majestic piece of facial hair himself. I had a hard time getting a picture of it and Getty didn't have one, either, but it was dense like a rain forest. ## Drew Doughty ![Drew Doughty, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/drew-doughty-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-img_8066.xml) Sweet child. This is so patchy. It must be such a relief to know all that crazyness did not sprout in vain. ## Matt Greene ![Matt Greene, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-matt-greene-img_8045.xml) So TIDY. ## Robyn Regehr ![Robyn Regehr, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/robin-regehr-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-img_8106.xml) Sniffle. Regehr got the Cup second, from Dustin Brown, because he'd never touched it in his 15-year career, and had a good season and then got hurt and couldn't play in the finals at all. ALSO, he played his 1,000th game in February. Hockey is full of respect. ## Willie Mitchell ![Willie Mitchell, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/willie-mitchell-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-img_8138.xml) He looks like he might become a mad axeman in the off-season. ## Tyler Toffoli ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/450588844.xml) And bringing up the beard rear is Tyler Toffoli. He's only 22 and his follicles are trying SO HARD but still his glee is largely hairless. ## Bailey ![Los Angeles Kings mascot, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/bailey-los-angeles-la-kings-stanley-cup-final-win-450587502.xml) It's got to be a blow when your mascot is more hirsute than you are. It's okay, Tyler. He may be a lion but tonight YOU can be on the prowl. ## Jonathan Quick ![Jonathan Quick, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/jonathan-quick-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-img_8082.xml) That is one ecstatic goalie. He didn't face as many shots as Lundqvist, but in some ways that's just as hard because you can't space out and enjoy yourself alone in your end. You still have to stay sharp. ## Darryl Sutter ![Darryl Sutter, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-darryl-sutter-img_8015.xml) This is Darryl Sutter's delighted face. (He is famously, hilariously... like this. All the time. When asked what he'd tell his team after a hard Game 6 loss to Chicago, his answer was, "That our flight leaves at 11 a.m.") ## Jonathan Quick, Dustin Brown ![Los Angeles Kings Bromantical Hugs](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-la-kings-stanley-cup-final-win-450588156.xml) "I LOVE YOU MAN." ## Darryl Sutter ![Darryl Sutter, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-darryl-sutter-img_8030.xml) Darryl Sutter is overcome with euphoria. ## Anze Kopitar, Justin Williams ![Jeff Carter, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/kopitar-williams-los-angeles-la-kings-stanley-cup-final-win-450588440.xml) BEARD LOVE! ## Darryl Sutter ![Darryl Sutter, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-darryl-sutter-img_8013.xml) Darryl Sutter is profoundly, orgasmically moved. ## Darryl Sutter ![Darryl Sutter, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/darryl-sutter-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-450586896_10.xml) Okay, actually, he did drop the face and let his happy flag fly. ## Darryl Sutter and Christopher ![Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-darryl-sutter-son-img_8054.xml) And then his son flung himself at Darryl, and this happened, and I teared up. Christopher has Down's syndrome, and Sutter quit coaching when he was an infant to care for him, and then only took jobs in places where there were facilities for him, AND does a ton of work very quietly for Down's. The way he just sort of opens up with joy for his kid... ugh, y'all, I got misty. ## Darryl Sutter and son, Los Angeles Kings ![Darryl Sutter and son, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/darryl-sutter-son-img_8060.xml) I MEAN. So happy. ## Anze Kopitar ![Anze Kopitar, Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-anze-kopitar-son-sutter-img_8063.xml) Apparently the Kings all have a bond with Christopher, and Kopitar was hugging him during his TV interview, and -- although he looks a bit like Serial Killer Aaron Rodgers here -- Anze was beaming so affectionately at Christopher when Christopher suggested the best thing to do would be to come back and win one again next year. ## Christopher Sutter ![Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-sutter-son-img_7986.xml) Sniffle. I don't remember seeing much of this the first time they won, and I think that's because Sutter was new to the team that year. It's just lovely. ## Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Champs ![Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-team-img_7973.xml) JUBILATION. And so many beards. Thanks, guys. It was such a pleasure. ## Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers ![Henrik Lundqvist, New York Rangers, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/henrik-lundqvist-los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-495457407_10.xml) Oh, and don't be sad, Henrik. You faced 48 shots and were basically in some freaky zone the last two games... also, you're a damn handsome hunk of man. Can I call you Hunkrick? No? Yeah, I'm with you there actually, Anyway. Your beard is delicious. ## Los Angeles Kings Locker Room ![Los Angeles Kings, Stanley Cup Final](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/los-angeles-kings-la-stanley-cup-win-final-locker-room-img_8071.xml) This random shot on the NBC Sports broadcast made me laugh. Half the people were still on the ice, and these dudes -- including Quick on the far end -- were just hanging out quietly in the locker room drinking Bud Light. At least import some good Canadian beer for the ones who were born up north, eh? [Well Played, Jubilant, Oft-Toothless Men In Beards: The Los Angeles Kings Win The Stanley CupThe juxtaposition of the Stanley Cup and the World Cup has been hilarious: In soccer, dudes drop to the ground writhing in agony and wailing if anyone so much as breathes on them. In hockey, they get hit in the face with sticks and pucks and bleed out all over the ice and just slap on a Band-Aid and get right back out there for their next shift. Even the hockey refs do that. They must watch soccer and be like, "Are you KIDDING? WE NEVER HAD IT SO EASY." All the playoffs were amazing -- full of breathless hockey at its very fastest and best -- but the Kings-Blackhawks series and then this Kings-Rangers series gave us twelve brilliant games, and I'm almost sad it's over. ALMOST. Because we won. Behold inside: the beards, the bromances, the gums, Darryl Sutter's facial expressions, the explication of my Magical Haterade and why I should get the Cup for a day, and a baby sitting in Lord Stanley's trophy. \[Photos: Getty, me\]![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/jeff-carter-los-angeles-la-kings-stanley-cup-final-win-450586644.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-jubilant-oft-toothless-men-in-beards-the-los-angeles-kings-win-the-stanley-cup-06-2014/)
