A playoff fan is a sports fan who has no interest in a sport or a team during the regular season. But come playoff time, that same fan is transformed into the biggest diehard fan you have ever seen.
Bob did not watch one Laker's game all season, but now that they are in the playoffs, his car is decked out in 100 Lakers flags. What a playoff fan.

A reference to cocaine. Only to be used when it's getting late and you need that extra push to keep going.
Tim: I think I need to hit the "batting cages" (code for bathroom), I'm running out of juice here.
Joe: Don't worry, I just got some Playoff Powder. We're taking this all the way to the championship game tonight.

The ungratification of your team being kicked out of the playoffs. Usually when your team gets deeper into the playoffs the harder and more difficult it is to understand. It may take days or weeks to knock yourself out of the state of playoff hangover. And if your team improves it makes you want even more for the playoffs to come just to be disappointed again or finally win the championship.

When one's sports team makes it to the playoffs. Team members stop shaving their facial hair thus growing a 'playoff beard.' As long as that team is in the playoffs, the beard stays. When the team loses and gets removed from the playoffs, or ends up winning the championship; then, the beard can be shaved.
"Hey John, I heard your team lost your semi-finals game yesterday."
"Yeah we did, it's a shame. I gotta' shave the old playoff beard off tonight."

an alternative to the traditional playoff beard reserved for mostly female hockey fans. one such female can still retain hopes of getting laid and still show support for their favorite team.
