When it comes to hair cuts and facial hair, Kasperi Kapanen doesn't exactly trust Patrik Laine.
The Toronto Maple Leafs forward recounted an amusing exchange he had with the Winnipeg Jets star when they faced each other earlier in the week.
"He told me to go get my hair cut last game," Kapanen told the assembled media on Saturday, including TSN. "But I think with his style last year, I think he’s the last guy (who should) tell me to cut any facial hair or hair on my body.”
Laine grew a lengthy beard down the stretch last season that he ultimately shaved off.
The two Finnish world junior teammates played in Wednesday's 4-2 victory by the Maple Leafs in Winnipeg, and they'll renew acquaintances Saturday night in Toronto.
