New York Islanders GM Lou Lamoriello and his old-school rules have stirred more drama. World renounced announcer Gord Miller recently called out Lamoriello after Anthony Duclair, their new signing, who had to chop off his hair. Duclair, who knew what he was skating into when he inked his 4 year $3.5 million AAV deal, shared a photo on Instagram with a sad emoji, showing all the hair he was forced to shed. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/spittinchiclets/status/1826622959517401357'> </a></blockquote></div> Miller, saw Duclair's post and fired back at Lou, calling the rule «ridiculous and archaic,» especially since it clashes with someone's personal style and culture. <q> Forcing a grown man like @aduclair10 to cut his hair is ridiculous and archaic, and it takes on even worse overtones when it's part of someone's culture. </q> <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/gmillertsn/status/1826607844151677141'> </a></blockquote></div> Lamoriello's strict rules mean no long hair or beards during the season-just like the clean shaven rule by the MLB's New York Yankees. He believes this rule keeps everyone looking professional and holds all players to the same standard. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/alarocco0801/status/1826622426307874886'> </a></blockquote></div> Critics of Miller's message are correct, because Duclair willingly made the decision. Others say the NHL should also see his point and talk to Lou about removing the rule and allowing his players to show their personality.
