Why on earth would you imply it’s Lou’s fault without any sort of proof? Dishonorable behavior.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Obligatory

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

What if a player just said no? Like I get it for the Yankees because they're the Yankees even in 2024 but the Islanders haven't had any recent success and Lamoriello is years past his best before date. What is he going to do?

 

[BelovedIsles]

I was wondering if he would.

 

[CaptainShark]

Careful who you sign with…

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Was it actually an order from front office to Duclair? All I see is a picture with zero backstory or information

Dude cut off his locks, after joining the only team in the league with a no long hair/no facial hair policy... “res ipsa loquitur”

let’s say he cut it off for Lou. That doesn’t mean that this was sprung on Duclair out of nowhere that Lou might have this policy. I think there are people who are just trying to reach with their outlandish inferences.

 

[Bounces R Way]

If that isn't a sign he's traded by Thanksgiving I dunno what is

 

[Factorial]

Pay me millions a year and I'm fine with restrictions on my hair.

Before playing for Lou

After joining Lou's team

 

[Ciao]

A reprisal of Wilt Chamberlain and John Wooden?

You can't make me cut my hair, coach!

No, but I decide who plays for the UCLA Bruins, and we're going to miss you, Wilt.

Seriously, "enforcing" a personal grooming policy in this day and age is laughable.

Who said it was sprung out of nowhere? What outlandish inferences are being made?

Then why do you think this is a thread if Lous policy is known?

Completely erroneous. Wilt played at Kansas University not UCLA. So this conversation that you’re hamfisting about was probably between Alcindor or Walton. Most likely it’s Walton.

Just so sad.

 

[Felidae]

I think it's pretty likely Duclair knew about the policy before joining the Islanders, and if so is probably not that upset about it.

That being said, it's still laughably stupid and outdated.

You're quite right. It was Bill Walton.

Much thanks for correcting the record, as memories fade

 

[Nogatco Rd]

I’m not really sure what you’re trying to say.

Lou’s old school persona and old fashioned team policies are a novelty in modern pro sports and are naturally an ongoing source of amusement for many people here. No idea why you seem to be taking it so personally.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

I would shave every hair on my body for $14 million

I would shave every hair on my body for $14 million

Every time you do, it’s going to grow back fuller and darker!

 

[Bowski]

Don't dare cross the male grooming boss.

Even if he himself is...

 

[JPT]

What a stupid f***ing rule

 

[SoundAndFury]

What if a player just said no? Like I get it for the Yankees because they're the Yankees even in 2024 but the Islanders haven't had any recent success and Lamoriello is years past his best before date. What is he going to do?

If it comes to that, Duclair could be effectively suspended by the team and eventually shipped out of town. Considering he signed with the Isles possessing full knowledge of all of this, it would be a pretty dumb reason to cause such a stink.

I think most people cringe at the idea of this rule, as evidenced by the other 31 teams' lack of need for it, but when you just signed a multimillion-dollar contract with that one particular team, you are responsible for following its rules.

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Lou’s antiquated dinosaur way of thinking is such a joke.

Like as if sideburns or long hair really have any effect on how well someone plays.

Someone tell the old buzzard to retire.
