Paul Bissonnette honours bet and gets wild haircut
Near the start of the 2021-22 season, Ryan Whitney and Paul Bissonnette made a bet on the Edmonton Oilers and Calgary Flames rivalry.
Whitney bet that the Oilers would make it farther than the Flames and Bissonnette the opposite. Of course, the two met in the second round of the 2022 postseason to make the friendly wager all that more interesting.
They released this Tweet on November 2nd, 2021:
"THE BET: The Battle of Alberta
IF OILERS GO DEEPER IN PLAYOFFS THAN FLAMES:
@BizNasty2point0
has to get Peter Mansbiz haircut for a week.
IF FLAMES GO DEEPER IN PLAYOFFS THAN OILERS:
@ryanwhitney6
has to get Barry Bonds earring for a month."

The Oilers would go on to win the second-round series four games to one and advanced to the Western Conference Finals. Before game three between the Oiler and the Colorado Avalanche, Bissonnette honoured he and Whitney's bet in front of a crowd at Rogers Place in Edmonton:
