Alright, November/Movember is over. It's time to shave the 'staches or grow out the full beards. But before they're gone, we have our final rankings.
*Disclaimer: They were all great mustaches, we will miss them, and this was just for fun.

Logan Couture: 9.6 (previously 9.0)
The Cap's mustache is and was one of the most distinguished on the team throughout the month. He kept it clean and maintained which is more than others can say. Way to go, Logan!

Noah Gregor: 9.55 (previously 8.5)
Gregor's mustache was likely the most consistent, and just like on the ice consistency can be key. It's flown somewhat under the radar all month (yes, that's a Top gun reference) but it was great all month long.

Matt Nieto: 9.3 (previously 7.9)
This might be the biggest jump in the rankings from the mid-month numbers. We'll admit we might have underestimated the stache at the beginning of this month. Thirty days later it is still defined and well-kept. Good work, Matt!

Mario Ferraro: 9.0 (previously 8.3)
Like we said in the initial rankings, when you think of a man with a lip sweater, this is your man. It's still full and still compliments the missing teeth.

Nick Cicek: 8.9 (previously not ranked)
New to the team, new to the rankings. Thankfully for Cicek, the Cuda had started their Movember campaign at the beginning of the month as well. So, when he got called up, he and his facial hair were ready to go. While he does sort of have a full beard behind the stache in the last days of the month, we're deeming it defined enough to keep him in the running. This also might be a recency bias since it's the newest mustache on the team but we're allowing it cause we make the rules.

Brian Ganz: The honorablest of honorable mentions
Originally, the power rankings were for players only. However, we can't have a Movember feature without an honorable mention for Assistant, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Brian Ganz. He not only has an (unofficial) 10/10 'stache but he also exceeded his Movember goal and raised $2,835 for men's health causes.

Erik Karlsson: DISQUALIFIED (previously 9.4)
The man tore up November on the ice. Unfortunately, with the on-ice production the facial hair followed and EK65 slowly reverted to not just a mustache but a full goatee. And for that reason, he is more out of these rankings than Mark Cuban on an episode of Shark Tank.

Timo Meier: DISQUALIFIED (Previously 8.0)
As with Karlsson, the mustache faded into the background on his face and he had his regular goatee before the end of the month. It's great for his normal, everyday look but not for November, where a defined 'stache is imperative.

Timo web

Jonah Gadjovich: DISQUALIFIED (previously 9.5)
It was great. We had high hopes it would stick around for the full month but alas here we are in the disqualified category again. It slowly faded into the full beard, which will be great for the colder months but gets him no points here. What does get points though is raising money for Movember. Gadjovich raised $1,350 for Movemeber and men's health initiatives.

Money was raised, which is the important part of this month, the rankings were fun, and we will be back next year for more rankings (maybe to the dismay of our players)
