Penner Speaks - Pencakes! Open Thread

MayorsManor.com - An open letter from Dustin Penner re: Pancakegate

So it seems as though I need to address Pancakegate for those in the sports media world, as well as those following #pennercakes on twitter, in light of the recent phenomenon I've created. Right off the bat, I'd like to clarify a few things. For example, they were vegetarian pancakes. The injury happened as I was sitting down to eat, not mid-bite. And yes, I did finish them. [...] In an effort to end the entire experience on a high note, I'm partnering with MayorsManor to sponsor a 'Pancakes with Penner' breakfast. In the weeks to come we'll be setting up a special raffle. Fans will be able to purchase tickets for $1.00 for a chance to have a pancake breakfast with me. [...]

Thank you for your time,

Dustin Penner

Read the whole thing at Mayor's Manor.

Penner is so great. He's not going to net 30-40 goals as I predicted, but I'm hoping for 20. And I look forward to his career in broadcasting in the 2030s or whenever.

I’m a little hurt, to tell you the truth, that the plight of my people isn’t being taken seriously.

Brilliant!

I’m disappointed that things haven’t worked out better for Penner here for a variety of reasons, and one of them is that he seems like a clever and funny guy. I’ll have to keep an eye open on that raffle. $1 seems like a bargain for a chance to have breakfast with him and hang out for a bit.

If you hang out with him, there’s no chance he’s gonna eat you too right?

Just kidding, Penner…

I love how tons of people missed his sense of humor in his original narrative. That he goes out of his way to set a scene. That we are assured the pancakes are delicious. Like, “Why would he tell reporters that? Does he not get how ridiculous this is?” Uh, do you know anything about Penner? Hahaha.

The media’s reaction was classic. If I were an athlete, I would lob hilarity bombs their way all the time.

But let’s not forget to keep fighting the battle against SOBS.

Brilliant and hilarious. I have a feeling that he’s a well liked by his teammates.

Jonathan Quick is the leagues most best player right now according to GVT (“need to subscription to view the article”: http://www.puckprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1226).

Derek Zona named Jonathan Quick his midseason Hart winner. He also gave Kopitar an honorable mention for the Selke.

whoa cool thanks I missed that. here is a pretty awesome article from Hockey Prospectus (for nerds’ eyes only):

That’s right, even after over 200 games, almost half of your shooting percentage and save percentage is luck.

Holy hell… I’m a number nerds for a living, so I can handle a lot of numerical boredom easily… but that article….

Need to take a nap now. I’ll finish commenting after my nap. If I still remember what PDO is when I wake up.

No… no time for a nap now… I’ll go look at some actuarial tables to wake myself up.

They like their analysis dense. It’s also aimed at people who already understand all the terms.

Hmm. I might be comfortable with the stats world now that I could do an intro guide.

When are you gonna fix the posty, thingy, dealy on your website so I can post to you about your fenwick numbers?

Do you have to sign up for Word Press or something? I don’t want to have Twitter. I’d spend all day posting Alec Martinez and Thomas Hickey pictures and making fun of the Edmonton Journal.

I rebel against Twitter, and facebook, and Surly and Scribes site uses Word Press, and I can post there just fine. When I try on Ricks site it says sorry not signed in. There’s not even anywhere to put your name or email.

Niesy.

That was extremely funny by the way.

by defrim65 on Jan 12, 2012 3:51 PM PST up reply actions  

Funny but true.

I might also talk 24 times a day about Bernie Nicholls memorabilia and Corgi gifs.

Bernier needs play to get the rust off; you see that almost every game. If Quick went down the Kings defense wouldn’t get sub 900 goaltending. But otherwise a fine tribute. Definitely deserved.

Now Rick, don’t get upset

The extra skaters this morning were Davis Drewiske, Alec Martinez and Kevin Westgarth, meaning Slava Voynov is on track to return in Martinez’s place.

by RudyKelly on Jan 12, 2012 11:12 AM PST reply actions  

I want to keep Voynov and Martinez. Voynov should take JJ’s place (and not because I’m a hater).

I should watch some Manch games. Sigh. I wish people could have seen his poise before. Now there’s no one worth watching in junior hockey up here except in Everett…oh, well, Calvin Pickard.

OT: Lombardi on Smyth trade

So this story has been posted on at least a couple of blogs today, though there’s nothing from Hammond yet. Anyway, DL apologized for his public comments and handling of the situation. I guess there was still some degree of merit to his basic complaint, as the Oilers did send some cash our way.

Didn’t he say he apologized a while ago? On some radio interview or something.

Hehe. Whenever he does I imagine a giant thought bubble over his head: “Yeah, but you’re still a dick.”

He shouldn’t have said it publickly. Please still flip him off in private.

Meh. I can see plenty of defensemen they would need but not much I would want to get back. Not much they would trade anyway.

Reports are that MTL has pulled Cammalleri out of the game, put him in cab to team hotel to await further instructions.
