After all he was basically the best Penguin on the ice and had the puck enough to get 9 shots on goal. Hey Geno, Ovie hits you because you ahve the puck and he wants to break up the play and take it from you! Probably the same reason Malkin hit's Semin but I wish he would have pulled up a little instead of Mark Bonatuccihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028759195766716450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14427229.post-68622114016320751562008-10-17T16:20:00.000-04:002008-10-17T16:20:00.000-04:00Wow, after reading the comments on the Pensblog, I...<I>Wow, after reading the comments on the Pensblog, I have a new appreciation for the posters on this blog.
