You: "PLAYOFFS!"

Playoff Princess
A so-called "fan" who only shows up for the fun part of the season to criticize (who is quick to jump off the band wagon at the first sign of defeat), yet can't even SPELL "hockey," "baseball," "basketball," etc. the other ten months of the year.

Bob, you don't even know what you're talking about. You're such a playoff princess. Shut up.

Playoff Beard
The hairy result of a superstition turned tradition in the National Hockey League (NHL) by which players of a given team refuse to shave their beards upon making it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In recent years, this tradition has extended from players to fans, making an unkempt beard during playoff season acceptably insofar as one's team of choice is still working toward Lord Stanley's Cup. The beard can only be shaven off under two conditions: (1) The team of choice has won Lord Stanley's Cup and hoist it high as the National Champions; (2) The team of choice has lost the playoffs and must shave themselves to begin preparing for next season.

Mark: Whoa, that's some unruly facial hair you've got going there.

Ian: Yep! The Red Wings made it to the Finals. You know I can't shave my playoff beard until they win...

Mark: Too true.

Bob did not watch one Laker's game all season, but now that they are in the playoffs, his car is decked out in 100 Lakers flags. What a playoff fan.

Playoff Beard
When one's sports team makes it to the playoffs. Team members stop shaving their facial hair thus growing a 'playoff beard.' As long as that team is in the playoffs, the beard stays. When the team loses and gets removed from the playoffs, or ends up winning the championship; then, the beard can be shaved.

"Hey John, I heard your team lost your semi-finals game yesterday."

"Yeah we did, it's a shame. I gotta' shave the old playoff beard off tonight."

Playoff Hangover
The ungratification of your team being kicked out of the playoffs. Usually when your team gets deeper into the playoffs the harder and more difficult it is to understand. It may take days or weeks to knock yourself out of the state of playoff hangover. And if your team improves it makes you want even more for the playoffs to come just to be disappointed again or finally win the championship.

"Year after year, the Eagles always seem to be able to put me in a playoff hangover!"
