True story.
Went out on Wednesday evening wearing my Schenn jersey. Met a couple of Candian blokes.
Them: Are you Canadian?
Me: Naw, just a fan.
Them: Cool, cool. Where d’you get it?
Me: nhl.com. Only took about a week. Pretty good all told.
Them: So, uh, why Luke Schenn?
Me [after picking up jaw from floor]: Uhhh, is it because he’s awesome?
