During the 2010-11 NHL season, there wasn't much to be excited about in terms of the NY Islanders. Finishing the season with 73 points, the fourth-worst in the league, the skill level may not have been high, but what they lacked in skill, they made up for with toughness.
Zenon Konopka joined the Isles for the 2010-11 season, signing after two seasons with the Tampa Bay Lightning. Though his time on Long Island was short, playing just one season with the Isles, Konopka tallied 307 penalty minutes, the most in his career, including 25 fights.

While Konopka was no slouch when it came to dropping the gloves, he believes one of his Islanders teammates was the scariest fighter in league history.
