10 year veteran Dustin Penner found himself excused from TSN’s NHL trade deadline coverage Sunday following the prior night’s series of tweets that seemed to suggest there was some thing hilarious about rape. Penner’s yet to delete the missives below, perhaps in keeping with his profile description (“Professional lightning rod, comedic enthusiast. Comedy is not subjective, you’re just not funny”)
Is it always consensual if she's your girlfriend? Asking for my gf…& shortly arriving police

Is it a rape joke if it's your girlfriend? Is this even my girlfriend?!?!

I see the offensive side of my joke. On behalf of those who laughed, my gf & I included, I apologize. We understand we are awful people.

Furthermore my gf and I were in lying in bed and the hypothetical question was "raised" "what if I had been sleeping?" And then we laughed
