BROTHERLY LOVE
Luke Schenn is looking forward to hanging out with his younger brother, Philadelphia Flyers forward Brayden Schenn, before the Leafs’ game in Philly on Thursday night. The plan is for the brothers to hook up for dinner on Wednesday. Just don’t expect Luke to give Brayden a playful shot in the arm.
Understandably, Luke was concerned when Brayden went down hard after being tagged by Ilya Kovalchuk of the New Jersey Devils during a fight on Saturday afternoon in a game between the Flyers and Devils.
“For sure,” Luke said. “Even the guys on our team were asking if he was all right. A lot of guys saw it. He got hit pretty hard. I think people don’t realize how big and strong Kovalchuk is. He is probably 240 pounds and he threw him around pretty good.
“Of course, it worries me a lot when anyone gets it like that, but especially when it’s my little brother. You want to make sure he is all right. I talked to him a couple times and he said he was doing fine. I have to give him credit. He showed up and tried to help get the team going. He’s not much of a fighter.”"
