Remember Ronald Petrovicky? He was a serviceable fourth-linerwho mucked and grinded his way into everyone's hearts during the Penguins'semi-magical 2006-07 season. He was in the lineup for 11 games of that streakof 16 games in which the Penguins recorded at least a point. He's probably bestknown for delivering a knockout punch to the head of Maple Leafs forward KrisNewbury that season during a 6-5 overtime win at Toronto,Feb. 10, 2007. You mightrecall that game as being the "Jordan Staal Game" when Staal scored his firstcareer hat trick.(Please visit the site to view this media)Basically, Petrovicky was some guy most Penguins fansprobably had never heard of and in an instant, he became a younger, more Slovakianversion of Gary Roberts.After the season, Petrovicky bolted for Europewhere he savaged the peoples of Switzerlandand Swedenwhile playing in those countries' leagues in 2007-08.He's now directed his anger towards the new KHL.
