Dustin Penner is out with a pancake-eating injury. (He hurt his back while eating eating pancakes.)
Here's the actual quote from Penner himself:
“Apparently it’s one of those mysterious things, where you can throw it out (from) sneezing. I just leaned over to dip into some delicious pancakes that my wife made. It’s just like it [the pain] wraps around you and squeezes. … So it was disappointing. Hopefully it’s just an isolated incident, and not something that’s going to become chronic.”
If I were Penner, I would have come up with a better story. I'm not disputing what took place, but with his reputation as a lumbering, sometimes out of shape player, he would have been better off making up a hockey playing (or practicing) excuse for his injury.
Maybe the Kings will put a clause in his contract about eating pancakes. Most players are not allowed to engage in high-risk activities like skydiving or bungee-jumping, but for Penner, they may want to consider expanding it to include flapjack eating expenditures, etc.
Tim Connolly was out with this same thing last year
What is Penner's wife making Tim Connolly pancakes for?
Thank you. That made my day!
The Oil WILL make the playoffs in 2012.

It must of been an animal cracker and he thought it was a real lion that he picked up and got scared and when he jumped from the shock it pulled out his back
