I’ve been curious about  the beard style that Penguin captain Sidney Crosby has chosen for the playoffs. Others on his team have gone for more of a full-face look, while Crosby is sporting a slim mustache and chin beard.

I think I may have found his inspiration:

I have to say, it’s a notable look. A little strange, but it grows on you.
