Lafleur no fan of Sharks' beards: 'It's a disgrace for hockey'

Hall of Famer Guy Lafleur has never been afraid to speak his mind.

The Montreal Canadiens legend is at it again, and this time the facial hair of San Jose Sharks Stanley Cup finalists Brent Burns and Joe Thornton is his target.

"I think it's a disgrace for hockey," Lafleur said, according to the Montreal Gazette's Stu Cowan. "I hate it. It's not a good image for the NHL. I don't mind a guy wearing a beard, but to his belly ... enough is enough. The team's managers should put their foot down."

Sharks head coach Peter DeBoer is three wins from a Stanley Cup. It's safe to say he's cool with whatever is on Burns' and Thornton's faces.

"They can't see the puck. That's why they're struggling," Lafleur added, tongue-in-cheek.

Burns and Thornton have four assists between the two of them in the Cup Final. Joe Pavelski's much shorter beard has him pointless.
