Around SBN: Two Minutes Of Thunder Basketball Wins The Game

Dustin Penner Mocks Scott Oake


Dustin Penner, like many other players, finds Scott Oake quite annoying.  The big fella got tired of Oake some time last year and the relationship became contentious.  Last night, Penner showed his displeasure and openly mocked Oake during their intermission interview. 

The transcript of the interview is below the jump.

Star-divide

 

Scott Oake:  Dustin Penner scores for the Oilers in the first period, Dustin a lot of talk about how you're in the best physical condition of your time as an Oiler but what you say, uh, is really changed is your mental approach, how so? 

Dustin Penner:  I guess it has to do with the atmosphere I'm in now.  You know, everybody got a clean slate with the new coaching staff and you tend to get one with the new year as well.  And I've been taking advantage of it and using it as an opportunity to learn from new coach.  I think positive attitudes are contagious and there's a lot of them in this room right now. 

Oake:  Well you are lighter, are you prepared to say what diet adjustments you made to, uh, lose some weight?

Penner:  You guys haven't been paying attention, I've said it enough.

Oake:  Not on network TV

Penner:  Not on network?  CBC isn't a network?

Oake:  Well you haven't said it to us.

Penner:  Oh.  Okay.  I guess it was everything in moderation.  Right?  I've already said the wheat or barley based drinks.  So, that's the key, I'm going to write a book. 

Oake:  Fair enough.  Maybe you can start selling that diet.

Penner:  Are you going to buy it?

Oake:  No, not a chance.

Weeks wasn’t terrible, he just needs to learn that we don’t need a long-winded explanation for every point. Concise kid, concise!

I actually liked Weekes on his debut. He has that early-Kelly-Hrudey vibe in that he clearly knows a lot about hockey and has positive screen presence; it’s just a matter of practice.

Kinda sad that we’re using the colour booth of our national broadcaster as a development squad, but hey! Weekes is going to turn out okay.

We’ve been doing it for 40 years. Sometimes you get Dan Kelly or John Davidson, sometimes you get Marc Crawford.

Penner's Book

He mentioned it to Principe last year when he was asking about the BS healthy-scratch treatment.

I’d read it, if he’s serious ;)

Scott Oake looked like a huge idiot in that interview.

Totally blew it. It’s easy to make an ass of yourself like he did in the first half, but it somehow continued getting worse.

That interview was epic… Good for Penner for standing up to Oake like that.

Oake is one of the most pompous people I have ever met. He’s Grade A jerk material.

I PVR’d the game so I fast-forwarded through the intermissions. Looks like I should have watched the interview though. Maybe he’s our Jeremy Roenick? Well if it helps fuel his game to mock his interviewers on live TV, keep it up!

He’s got more wit than Roenick.

Oake sucks… CBC sucks… They let go of Cuthbert and challenged both MacLean and Cherry, their staples. So glad they lost the Olympics to CTV. TSN should get all important hockey coverage.
