If you haven't been stopping by stats man Gabe Desjardins's pad lately, you'd be well-served to do so. He's banging out some good stuff over there.
The latest is a system of ranking fighters, one that comes up with Georges Laraque as the NHL's top heavyweight. Here's the list based on the past three seasons:
| Player | Ft | In | Wt | Fights | W | L | T | GP | Fts/82 |
| Georges Laraque | 6 | 3 | 253 | 30 | 24 | 3 | 3 | 177 | 13.9 |
| D.J. King | 6 | 3 | 229 | 22 | 16 | 2 | 4 | 89 | 20.3 |
| Derek Boogaard | 6 | 8 | 257 | 29 | 21 | 6 | 2 | 133 | 17.9 |
| Donald Brashear | 6 | 3 | 234 | 37 | 23 | 9 | 5 | 220 | 13.8 |
| Wade Belak | 6 | 5 | 225 | 28 | 17 | 7 | 4 | 165 | 13.9 |
| Milan Lucic | 6 | 3 | 228 | 24 | 18 | 4 | 2 | 149 | 13.2 |
| Aaron Downey | 6 | 1 | 215 | 15 | 9 | 1 | 5 | 81 | 15.2 |
| Raitis Ivanans | 6 | 4 | 256 | 39 | 21 | 11 | 7 | 215 | 14.9 |
| Colton Orr | 6 | 3 | 222 | 52 | 31 | 16 | 5 | 209 | 20.4 |
| Eric Godard | 6 | 4 | 214 | 44 | 20 | 15 | 9 | 164 | 22.0 |
I'm afraid I don't quite get how the ELO rating system is coming into play here, but anything that uses chess to rank hockey fighters is all right by me.
