10 notable Movember 'staches from around the NHL

#10: Alex Ovechkin

Coming in at number 10 on theScore's official "notable NHL mustache rankings" is one of the face's of the league: Washington Capitals sniper Alexander Ovechkin. 

Ovechkin's mustache is legitimately fantastic, which costs him points in our books. Fact is: the lip rug suits the Russian superstar. It gives him a complicated villain-esque "could be played by Daniel Day Lewis in a biopic" aura that he might be wise to stick with even once the calender reads December, frankly.

#9: Sidney Crosby

Despite being limited by injury for much of the past few seasons, the Penguins superstar eclipsed 700 career NHL points this weekend. 

But his perpetual excellence and personal development as a player doesn't impress us quite as much as the development of his facial hair growing ability. Young Mr. Crosby has come a long way since his first, weak playoff beard...

#8: Keith Yandle

Keith Yandle's trailer park handlebar mustache get two thumbs up from us at theScore. His epic soul patch on the other hand...

#7: Mark Arcobello

Surprising Edmonton Oilers forward Mark Arcobello's mustache is the exact same shade as his eyebrows. With facial hair like Arcobello is sporting this month, he might accurately be described as a "funny looking little guy" were he to somehow become involved in a North Dakota based murder mystery...

#6: Scott Hartnell

To the surprise of precisely nobody, Scott Hartnell's Movember mustache owns:

#5: Logan Couture

San Jose Sharks forward Logan Couture is sporting a mustache that is widely being compared to the one famously sported by a certain impactful historical figure. We won't tell you who that historical figure is, beyond saying that he's not well Reich'd:

#4: Andrew Cogliano

Andrew Cogliano's mustache is full, bushy and rich. It suits him well and is completely excellent:

#3: Cody Eakin

Skip to 1:10 of the video embedded below to check out Dallas Stars forward Cody Eakin's amazing mustache. 

Eakin is among the diminishing number of folks in the human population who possess red hair. Eakin's drapes don't exactly match his curtains, however and his mustache is, rather amusingly, jet black.

#2: Ryan Miller

This barely needs a caption. 

Ryan Miller's soul patch might more accurately be called a Seoul patch, since nearly 10 million people call it home:

Oh, also, this happened:

#1: Coach Q

We'll defer to authority at the top of our list.

Chicago Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville didn't grow his mustache as a charitable endeavor this month. But he's deserving of the pole position on this list for his commitment to sporting a fleecy upper lip all year round:

Kudos to the myriad of NHLers who were willing to look silly for a twelfth of the year in order to raise money for, and awareness of prostate cancer. What a bunch of beauties.
