Luke Schenn Update

We hate the leafs, but by golly do we love Luke Schenn. I've been reading some Maple leafs fan blogs (these fans DO exist, I can't believe it either), and there's been some nice things said about the Saskatoon, SK product. Namely:

"Finally, let me write about LUKE SCHENN, or THE BEAR as I like to refer to him as. People want to believe that he is only a cub, the fact remains, this guy is no where near his potential, that said, at his worst he is an effective, strong, punishing defender who will stand up for his teammates, its scary to think about what he will become, what is scarier is that we may see it as early as this season." -leafer80

"LUKE SCHENN = Delicious + Talented. Yes i have the hots for Luke Schenn." -alyssaa16
**It should be noted that after reading this article, I realized this girl is really not smart in any other way then her taste in young Saskatchewan talent. Sorry babe.**

This post comes fresh after I read the news that Ron "PutinColdCujotoEnsureaLoss" Wilson made an announcement that Luke Schenn will not be rejoining his alma mater Kelowna Rockets. Instead, he will be manning the blue line for the blue shirts for a long time (if leaf fans have their way) or until someone swoops in and makes him very, very happy by picking him up (hello my beloved Red Wings?). I know that is not going to happen, but I'll keep the dream anyway.

Keep up the good work Luke Schenn. We're rootin' for ya.

It's tough to be tough unless you're the toughest

Contrary to popular belief, I have never been punched full on in the face. I have run my mouth and got popped in the chin during a senior hockey game, but that's nothing compared to what I imagine a full-fledged fist to the face would feel like. Derek Boogaard, on the other hand, knows exactly what it feels like... I think. I've always wondered if guys who get punched as much as him somehow don't feel it the way he does. I'm sure if he was from Alberta, Manitoba, or France, he would not be the same 6 foot, 7 inch, 270 pound tower of angry that strikes fear in the very soul of every enforcer in the NHL.

Derek Boogaard was born in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, and currently plays with the Minnesota Wild as the "I'm going to mess up your entire universe" player.

When it comes to our Saskatchewan heroes, we at The Prairie Puck care about the finer things. The finer things are those bits and pieces of information that single Saskatchewanianites out from the rest of the league. I know, the awesomeness of Saskatchewan singles them out already, but here's something a little bit extra:

Bit of information #1: Boogeyman misses victim and annhialates the glass.
Watch This!!

This video speaks for itself. That's a lot of power going through that shit.

Bit of information #2: He and his brother run a summer fighting camp in Regina, SK.
This has obviously sparked some controversy, and I'm not going to get into that here. I will say, however, that anyone who thinks a fighting camp is controversial must be a tea-drinking-outdoor-badminton-playing-piece-of-old-rotten-sour-cream-pie. That's all I'm going to say. The Boogaards maintain that the camp shows kids how to fight so they won't get hurt when they fight.

Bit of information #3: He beats the life out of people on a regular basis, most notably a fight with Todd Fedoruk during which Derek cleaned Fedoruk's clock, and ended his career. Note that our man doesn't want to fight, but the unfortunate Duck can't take no for an answer.
Watch This!!

Bit of information #4: He's an incredible actor, cut from the mold of a Brad Pitt or a Paulie Shore.

Watch This!!

And lastly, here's a little highlight reel for you. Derek Boogaard is obviously from Saskatchewan.
Watch This!!


So there you go, a few videos and some information to tell you about another of our Saskatchewan Heroes. Thanks for reading, and tell your friends. Hey. If you wrote something sweet we'd tell our friends. Do us a solid.

Saskatchewan's young star singlehandedly wins a game for the for a really aweful team. Atta boy Schenn-ster!

ARTICLE

Saskatoon, SK product Luke Schenn has happily surprised us here at The Prairie Puck by taking center stage in a shootout victory by the Toronto Maple leafs. Our boy was plus 3 in a 3-3 game (figure it out son, he was on the ice every time something good happened), and he scored a beauty shootout goal to win it. As of 10:43 pm on Monday night there were no clips of the goal on YouTube. We'll post it when we find it. Until then, just keep Luke Schenn and our main squeeze, Jeremy Williams, in your thoughts and prayers.

Boys, we love you unconditionally (you can tell because we cheer for you even though you play for the team we hate the most).
