Wake With Elias: All hail Luke Schenn (a.k.a. Bobby Orr)

Watch out Norris Trophy hopefuls...Luke Schenn is on your tail.

The 31-year-old defencemen continued his strong campaign last night with a barrage of hits, and one of the more precise empty net goals you’ll ever see.

That beautiful tally prompted head coach Bruce Boudreau to compare Schenn to one of the greatest players in NHL history.

Bruce Boudreau, on Luke Schenn's success: "Well he's the first defenseman that's scored since I've been here, so to me he's Bobby Orr." #Canucks

“Whether he plays great or mediocre of what have you, the one thing you know about Luke Schenn is he gives you all he’s got every night,” Boudreau said after the game.
