Nashville Predators' Ryan Ellis Uses Beard Powers For Wicked Slapshot Goal

Ah, the glory of NHL Playoff beards.

Nothing beats an unkempt hockey player bellowing out sounds of joy after a big goal.

Just take Nashville Predators defenseman Ryan Ellis as example A on this slapper that zinged past St. Louis Blues goaltender Jake Allen.

Great beard. Total cannon. Points in five straight for Ryan Ellis. #StanleyCup

Surprised there wasn’t a smoke trail behind that puck.

Must be the added velocity from the red beard.
