Luke Schenn Answers Our Questions

by PPP on Feb 2, 2011 1:01 PM EST in Events

Two weeks ago, I solicited questions from the audience for site favourite Luke Schenn to answer. Thanks to the fine folks at VISA and their Hockey Love Hurts campaign we were actually able to get some answered. Unfortunately, the greatest question:

"Do you have a favorite Kris Versteeg song?"
- ForkLift

went unanswered, presumably because the answer was that he sorta likes 'em all.

However, Luke Schenn did talk about Wendel Clark, Ron Wilson, Brayden Schenn and the World Junior final, and how diehard fans live through the ups and downs.

As promised, VISA also provided a $50 gift card that was raffled off. The lucky winner is...Juggy Gilmour. Please e-mail me to claim your prize.

Love how you can tell they filmed it mid-season… the ’ole face is looking a little banged up!

History. Leafs. Drawing. In no particular order!

He’s got this issue where his visor keeps coming down and cutting his nose. Hard to believe they can’t find a visor that doesn’t do that.

They make aviator visors. I’m surprised they haven’t tried one of those yet.

Thanks for posting this reminder of what a class act Schenn is.

Bravo.

Very cool! Nice to see Luke take out the time to do that for the fans. Love the answer about the die-hard fans as well, he knows we love the Leafs and are going to be there through it all.

This is effing nails….

Until the sponsor makes him say things against his will… I hope he impregnated all of their daughters.

/Sigh. How soon until we can make him captain? Surely Phaneuf has showed him how to use the volume controls on the locker room boom box by now.

Bleh. Awesome of him to do it, but those answers were so goddamn dull it barely seems worth it (and he didn’t even answer the one about talking to his brother. Listen to it again). I miss sports players with personality, so thank God for BizNasty.

Yeah, the only chance we had was that Versteeg question.

I watched this with my two-month old son sitting on my lap.

How concerned should I be about his impending pregnancy?
