When someone's voice cracks. Once this happens, you yell "Playoffs!" in a high falsetto tone. Then you can comment about how puberty hit them like a ton of bricks. If it's really bad you can honk at them like a goose.
Normal Playoff Scenario:
Guy Who Playoffs: "Hey, what's up du(voice cracks)de?"
You: "PLAYOFFS!"
Extreme Playoff Scenario:
Guy Who Playoffs: "So did you che(voice cracks)ck out the ga(voice cracks)me last ni(voice cracks super hard)ght?"
You: "HONK!! PLAYOFFS!"

A so-called "fan" who only shows up for the fun part of the season to criticize (who is quick to jump off the band wagon at the first sign of defeat), yet can't even SPELL "hockey," "baseball," "basketball," etc. the other ten months of the year.

The hairy result of a superstition turned tradition in the National Hockey League (NHL) by which players of a given team refuse to shave their beards upon making it to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. In recent years, this tradition has extended from players to fans, making an unkempt beard during playoff season acceptably insofar as one's team of choice is still working toward Lord Stanley's Cup. The beard can only be shaven off under two conditions: (1) The team of choice has won Lord Stanley's Cup and hoist it high as the National Champions; (2) The team of choice has lost the playoffs and must shave themselves to begin preparing for next season.
Mark: Whoa, that's some unruly facial hair you've got going there.
Ian: Yep! The Red Wings made it to the Finals. You know I can't shave my playoff beard until they win...
Mark: Too true.

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.

A playoff team is the team that you choose to root for in the post season after realizing that your team sucks.
Person A: I Really Hope the Cardinals win the superbowl
Person B: But you're a Lions fan.
Person A: Yea...but the Cardinals are my playoff team since the Lions suck
Person B: But you're a Lions fan.

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.
