What a day for Matthew Schaefer. The kid was named the NHL’s Rookie of the Year & then spread joy to kids at Cohen Children’s Medical Center in New Hyde Park. @News12LI@islessignguy@Gray_Isles@RTaub_@IslesMeetups
The #Isles have a chance to slip into first place in a tight Metro Division tomorrow if they beat Tampa Bay. JG Pageau says he's has been watching the standings a bit already. @islessignguy@IslesMeetups@islessignguy@RTaub_
#Isles Schaefer on Long Island:
"Everyone asks me all the time, 'How do you like Long Island? How do you like this and that?' I like the food. I love everything about it. Everyone says they don't know much about it, but they come here and never go back. They always stay here."
Six days after his 18th birthday Matthew Schaefer is trying to earn an #Isles roster spot. He was the #1 pick in the draft & his arrival is part of a "new era" the team is touting. I asked him about the pressure of that. @islessignguy@RTaub_@rdel76@IslesFix@News12LI
Drouin said he talked to Brassard and Beauvillier about Long Island. Said everyone he spoke to loved Long Island, the area, the restaurants, and the suburbs.

@RTaub_@ForePlayPod Nassau Coliseum was where every Long Islander shared some of the greatest memories !! Islanders Hockey was incredible and yea that Old Barn was special 😎 Always Believe !!
Clutterbuck on @ForePlayPod:
- “The Coliseum was our biggest gift. There could have been 7500 people in there, but it was loud.”
- “Visiting players wanted nothing to do with it.”
- Believes Schaefer makes the #Isles, at least gets 9 games
- On for 50 MSG telecasts this season
Apologies for the sluggish and sometimes completely unusable slowness of the NHL Rank King app over the past week and a half. It couldn't have come at the worst possible time with the draft and free agency. H
I'm hoping (fingers crossed) that I've finally found a solution.
