Alex Penner's Fan Forum

If Friday’s game was any indication, he’ll be well-received as a member of the Colorado Eagles.

Seconds after dismantling Arizona’s Cedric Bernier in a second-period fight during the Eagles 3-1 preseason win at the Budweiser Events Center, Penner celebrated his victory by doing a shootout routine, pointing each hand like a gun in the air a couple of times before putting them back in their imaginary holsters.

It was just one of several things the potential Colorado Eagles player did to draw the attention of the 4,600 fans in the team’s only preseason game.

Penner and the Eagles brought quite a bit of attitude to the ice on Friday.

“This was the start I was looking for,” said the 6-foot-4 Penner, the little brother of Colorado goaltender Andrew Penner. “We wanted to show that we’re one of the best, not just one of the top skill teams, but one of the toughest teams. ... We’re not going to back down from no one.”

Coming into the game, the third-year pro who spent his rookie season in Laredo was looking to get noticed on a big stage. Safe to say he did what he came out to do.

“I wanted to get the feet going, make some hits and establish a reputation back in this league. I was looking forward to getting into a fight; if one didn’t come then I was going to make one come,” Penner said.

“I didn’t expect to get two.”

“The way he controlled himself until something happened, that’s like a seasoned enforcer-type guy. I thought he did a great job of handling that,” head coach Kevin McClelland said.

none of you would be talking smak to his face cause you would get the life beaten out of you. He might not be the best hockey player on the team but he is a great asset to the team and they are lucky to have him. While all you are sitting on the computer dissing him up, hes out there making a life for himself. And all you who are saying he is dirty/an asshole/ bad in bed, definitely dont know the real alex penner.

As a "faithfull" cyclones fan, I am going to have to disagree with some people on here. 1st- We didnt have a "good" team last year. We had an amazing team that brought home all kinds of trophies. 2nd- Our team has been decent all season. It's not our fault that we have such good players that everyone keeps getting called up. 3rd- Penner is a complete douchebag. All he can bring to his team is his decent ability to fight. And the fact that he looks like a caveman. Not every team has a caveman.

Sorry,havent seen him in a while. But Cohen is not a Troll.

Here you guys are talking down on him when he's actually going places in his life. Who really cares about the way he looks (FYI he doesn't have the long hair and the beard anymore)? It's like this, Cincy went from having a really good team last year to a pretty shitty team this year up until recently. You guys are all whining and jealous because your team simply doesn't have very much talent (or faithful fans for that matter). I can't really say anything about the way your players look because your guys finally got rid of that troll cohen.

Looks to me like there are a few Cincy fans that are jealous cuz their sorry @$$ team has a bunch on gnomes that can't play. As for Penner....love him. Would do him in a heartbeat...

Skunnk bag!!!
