Ray was so good at fighting that the NHL adopted a new rule about jerseys during fights that was nicknamed "The Rob Ray Rule" The NHL created the rule that specifically states that "a player who engages in fisticuffs and whose sweater is not properly 'tied-down', and who loses his sweater in that altercation, shall receive a game misconduct."

During his career with the Buffalo Sabres, Ray amassed 3,189 penalty minutes, mostly from fights.

He was so known for his fighting on the ice that Ray appeared in a TV commercial for ESPN. He appeared in a "This Is Sportscenter" commercial where he acted as security at the station and beats up a courier after he says he can't show his ID.

Also on the list include a player that every Buffalo Sabre fan loves to hate. Former Toronto Maple Leaf Tie Domi came in 8th on the list.
