This isn't exactly a statistical post, but I was looking over hockeyfights.com (purportedly the 7th-most popular hockey site on the internet) and I noticed that there was no way to rank fights based on user rankings. I'm surprised - you'd think the hockey fight "Hall of Fame" would be one of the most viewed pages on the site. Well, here are the top 25 fights of the last three seasons based on user ratings:

I think you'd find, if you researched the statistics involved, that to find 4 of the top 10 featuring Riley Cote winning fights would be an utter impossibility.
