    Pancakes fan Dustin Penner autographed box of Aunt Jemima; there’s syrup behind Kings bench

    By Greg Wyshynski | Puck Daddy – Tue, Jan 17, 2012 10:25 PM EST


    Pancakes are the best thing to happen to (a) breakfast and (b) Los Angeles Kings forward Dustin Penner.

    Ever since he disclosed that he injured himself while eating a stack of "delicious pancakes" — unintentionally hilarious, given his notorious lack of conditioning — Penner has been a tremendously good sport about it. There was his "open letter" response to the story; his hilarious self-deprecating performance while interviewing his teammates; and now, the autograph above.

    From reader Andrew Lam:

    Just thought you might like to see what a box of Aunt Jemima's 'Just add water' box signed by Dustin Penner might look like. My friend Jenn (@whatsername10) got it signed when he was in Calgary Saturday before the game. He was a good sport about it and gave us a chuckle and a "that's nice" to go with it.

    Pancake Power struck on Tuesday night at the Vancouver Canucks: Penner scored just his third of the season in the first period. Wonder what inspired him ...

    Indeed, we are all members of the Immense Horde of Penner, as the IHOP members in Vancouver reminded us (via Kyle Levindofske).

      I've always hated Dustin Penner, but this whole thing has made me start to like him. He's taking it in stride and even poking fun at himself about it. If it were me, I would have lied about it, but he just told it like it was. At least he's willing to take the ribbing and laugh about it.

      The syrup bottle only counts if he actually takes a swig out of it like it's water and then heads out onto the ice!!

        I'm thinking a Super Troopers-style syrup chug would be even better.

        The syrup bottle was brought by a fan and set on the ledge behind their bench. That's a good one!

      If pancakes are good and waffles are bad, what are crepes? I give up...

        Schmoke and a pancake? Flapjack and a cigarette? Cigar and a waffle? Pipe and a crepe? Bong and a blintz?

        I see there is no pleeshing you.

        They're neither good nor bad, they're just... crepe-y.

      Dustin Penner has been playing better since Pancake-gate, it seems to have motivated him more than the threat of getting shipped to the El-Cid lounge Softball league so whatever works! Go Kings Go!

      When Penner gets that syrup in him, he gets all antsy in the pantsy.

      Penner has been bad for the Kings ever since they signed him. All of a sudden right after he goes out for the pancake thing he has played MUCH better.

      Time to do a city-by-city pancake breakfast and donate to one of Penner's charities.
