That is a serious question. I dont know. It looks interesting, to say the least. Interesting considering he has not cut it in a year. What do you think of jakes hair . Can i go now . That says it all. Classic playoff hair. Hockey and hair have a rich history, usually its a playoff beard, not shaving is a superstition. Too lazy to get a haircut or shave my face. Lying in bed instead of getting a haircut. He has not cut it in a year. Jake is jake, you dont ask questions you just go with it. I dont think he has cut it once, its pretty impressive. Its his look, it fits him well. Its a tough look forget the fact that his lion like locks are the flyers hope there is magic in the mane.
