Hockey fans, do you remember what Brent Burns looked like when his incredible beard wasn't nearly as long and luscious as it is now?
We can't remember, either, but the San Jose Sharks are here to help.

Now, imagine if Burns decided to completely shave his beard tomorrow.  He would look completely different and you'd probably have to do a double-take just to make sure it was him if you saw him.

Monday night, fans were doing just that when they saw Braden Holtby on the Capitals bench during their preseason game against the Devils because he decided to shave his beard.

Can we all agree that Holtby looks like another person without the beard?

Also, what makes this story even better is that Holtby had a beard Monday morning when he met Daniel Murphy of the Washington Nationals and his son Noah.
Between then and the game, Holtby made the decision to shave his beard and fans were kind of upset he decided to do so.
