For the first time since March 12, Pierre McGuire is back to give us hockey analysis during an NHL game. And he now has a new addition to his face.

McGuire has grown a beard.

Let’s go to Hockey Twitter to see what they think.

Pierre actually looks like a normal guy with that beard.

I’ve been looking at my phone this whole intermission but when Liam said Pierre had a playoff beard I had to look up immediately

Absolutely genius move by NBC to have Stanley Tucci play the role of Pierre McGuire for the postseason. pic.twitter.com/yxR0lsh7Ho

Honestly, while I’m more of a fan of Elliotte Friedman’s quarantine beard, I dig it.
