PPP Dictionary: Our Luke and Saviour (OLAS)

Editor's Note: In an effort to outline some of the inside jokes/short forms/terms that are used throughout the site we have started creating Dictionary entries. If there is anything that you don't quite understand don't be shy: request a clarification here.

On June 20th, 2008 the Toronto Maple Leafs traded a first round pick, a second round pick, and a third round pick (TM Damien "The Omen" Cox) for the right to select Luke Schenn from the Kelowna Rockets. With that selection he became the Leafs' franchise saviour: a bruising Western defenceman from Saskatchewan that can chuck knuckles. The similarities to the last top five draft pick of the Leafs is proof that he is the Second Coming. Here's a picture of his first team meal:

In the pre-season, he showed a flash of the offensive side of his game and the celebration picture caught his true nature:

Also Likely.

As an 18 and 19 year old Our Luke and Saviour has patrolled the blueline destroying opponents, dropping the gloves at will, and even potting a goal to top off the sundae of awesomeness. Most importantly, he has given Leafs fans something that had been in short supply:

Update: I have tracked down the first instance of this nickname being used and wish to note that Godd Till, formerly of Cox Bloc fame, coined the nickname on October 7th, 2008:

Besides his development, I want Luke to go down so I can go to Giants games when Kelowna is in town, wear my Leafs jersey, and cheer for OLAS (Our Luke and Saviour) the entire time.

The Toronto Sun can be SO cynical with its front page headings. It will only be amount of time [when Schenn has that specific expectation of greatest] and the heading reads….‘Luke Warm’ LMAO

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?

Well, yeah. But I didn’t want to get thrown out.

You have to wonder what these people get taught in school, though.

Uttering those words is a hanging offence.

on a trip to California, Luke Schenn accidentally bumped into a woman at a mall. 8 months later, she was known to the world as Octomom
