Schaefer 'in no rush' to become next Islanders captain “It doesn't really matter about (the captaincy) because we have so many leaders in the room. Once you start the season, everyone is going to step up and everyone has a voice." My @nhlmedia story: nhl.com/news/matthew-s…

I asked Matthew Schaefer about his next contract last week. Here’s what he told me.

Nice story by Kristy here on Connor Brown, good player.

Joining @JasonGregor on @Sports1440 in moments.

Thanks to @TSN_Sports for promoting my 1on1 exclusive for NHL.com that was run originally on Wednesday July 22nd. Extremely generous. @NHLMedia You can read the full piece here again on NHL.com: nhl.com/news/matthew-s…

Congrats to @ZachHyman on another hugely successful 7th annual @ZachHymanGolf which has raised over $500K for @sickkids, @StolleryKids, @ujafoundation among others. Fun sitting on panel with @FriedgeHNIC, Neil Glasberg, @jenniferhedger, @davidalter, @Burkie2020 & @GaryRobertsHPT

@MLarkinHockey @DailyFaceoff @scotmaxw Great piece. Agree with every word and suggestion. I’ve long said I’m staggered these “professional DJs” most teams have seem unaware that more than 10 songs have ever been written.

In his latest for @DailyFaceoff, @scotmaxw names his 10 most overplayed songs at sporting events. The list includes a mix of bad and, yes, good songs – but all are used way too much: dailyfaceoff.com/news/10-most-o…

Connor McDavid on Mike Babcock: “Where our group's at, what we're looking for, it’s the perfect fit. He's not gonna need to come in & find who he is as a coach or find himself in those situations. 
He knows what he's about as a coach. It's our job as players to be ready to go.”

@RadioMoser @BookCameo Do I have to pay?

Did my first @BookCameo today. It was actually…….pretty cool. Haha. I can’t believe I’m there, but if you want something for virtually nuthin’, hit me up! 🤷🏼‍♂️ v.cameo.com/e/9CWeQ1Em44b #cameo

@MadelnCanada The camera quality looks improved.

Gudbranson glad Werenski is back, says Blue Jackets 'very focused' on making playoffs after rocky offseason “Zach is such a tremendous player,a very dear friend. We’re happy he is coming back for sure because he’s a pretty good player” My @nhlmedia story nhl.com/news/erik-gudb…

@broadcastBARTO I can always tell how excited someone is to get a response by how much they’ve researched their second reply. Glad I learned of your existence today bud.

@DaveAMcCarthy Oh Dave, you got me! You should unbutton one more button on that shirt I’m sure that look really works for ya 😂 #goof

Schaef isn’t too concerned about his next contract, he just wants to play some puck 🔥 (Via @DaveAMcCarthy)

@annikadevils I’m glad that little nugget I stumbled onto hasn’t been forgotten yet 😂

@DaveAMcCarthy I have to be to you.. oh wise Cup predictor

Perhaps the most unique skillset Matthew Schaefer possesses? His ability to get Rangers fans to say nice things about the Islanders.

@broadcastBARTO Great strategy Keegan. Position the guy who has singlehandedly breathed new life into the franchise as a liar and make him toxic in the marketplace. Brilliant actually!

@BR_OpenIce @DaveAMcCarthy If I was the Islanders I would offer him a 7x5 then and say take it or you’re a liar 😂

@annikadevils Here I thought you had just decided to be nice in general 😂 🤣

@DaveAMcCarthy It’s the mid summer point. Even I am posting nice things about the Rangers (never the canes) so give it a month and we will be back to the hatred.

@JoshYohe_PGH You and I think alike my friend

When I saw the Kane contract, I thought it was two years, $8 million total. Which seemed reasonable. Still happy for Chicago that a franchise icon is back. The price is a little steep though. lol

@sofie_reed_n @BR_OpenIce Here’s a comment that is proof no matter what you say, some people will always find a way to criticize you.

@Berniepuckman Appreciate that buddy. Thankfully they are nowhere near me but my heart goes out to folks up in the far north.

@DaveAMcCarthy I hope you and your family are doing okay dealing with the wildfires. Stay my friend
