Penner meets the press

After a month with the Kings, Dustin Penner is back in Edmonton, and not surprisingly, he was greeted by the media, which is always eager to catch up with former Oilers. The crowd moved from Penner to Jarret Stoll to Matt Greene, with Ryan Smyth escaping the attention because he stayed on the ice for some extra work. Yesterday, Penner talked about returning to Edmonton. In today’s Edmonton Journal, Jim Matheson got the Oilers’ side. Here’s what Terry Murray said today about Penner fitting in with the Kings, followed by the locker-room scene today. See if you can actually find Penner…

MURRAY: “Dustin Penner has become a part of the group very quickly. He’s got a great personality. The first day he came into the locker room, the guys were throwing a little bit of jabs at him, and he’s coming right back at them with one-liners. That’s just an indication that the guys are really willing to accept him and welcome him into the locker room to be an important part of the team. From that first day, in the group, he’s been a great fit, and I think his on-ice performance is getting better. There was good chemistry developing with Kopitar before the injury, so now we’ll get Handzus in that situation and hopefully it can continue.”
