Matthew Schaefer bat des records de la LNH à 18 ans et personne ne peut comprendre comment il s’y prend. Des données de patinage insensées aux chiffres de buts qui rivalisent avec Bobby Orr, sa saison recrue commence à paraître irréelle. Comment un adolescent mène-t-il les défenseurs de la LNH en termes de buts et de temps de jeu ? L’histoire complète est plus folle que vous ne le pensez.

I am a leafs fan and I have seen a lot in the past 40 years in hockey the good and the bad. With this said, I hope some bully doesn't attack this kid and damage him…we have seen many times young players developing on the fly and then some older guy injuring a hot young player. We need to protect these players for the betterment of the game that make fans want to pay to see talent on the ice and ref's need to do a better job to ensure this. I hope this young man and others close to his age now and the future the best careers and success in their wonderful future. Good luck young man from Northern Ontario Canada. My message to coach Roy…take care of him plz.
The Rangers ended up with Laf and Kakko LOL.😂
Quite a glaze show. Clean yourself up bud.
Before we start the Bobby Orr comparisons, understand the following, 8 straight Norris Trophys, 3 Harts, 2 Selke, and 2 Art Ross and 2 Stanley Cups…only D man ever to record 100+ assists in a single season. Don't put this kind of pressure on this kid. Wish him the best!
He is 18 and could play the whole game with ease its called youth .
Why couldn’t the Rangers get this kid
Excellent commentary; Schaefer's great news for us Islanders fans!
You were doing great until you called us "Fish Sticks"
This kid is unbelievable!! At 18 years old??!!
He reminds me of Scott Neidermeyer who would never get tired and felt bad for his linemate when he was gassed because he could just stay out there. He skates leaning forwards and can duck lower to avoid hits. Also he is such a good kid with a great story.
It’s crazy jow good he’s quickly become. To look at his stats he never seemed dominant, you could just tell by watching him he controlled the game without having to get on the score sheet but he does. I love watching him skate he’s got a bright future
As a Ranger fan, I'm so jealous. How 'bout a trade for Alexis Lafrenière?
Islanders fan in Salt Lake for the past 26 years, and when we got the Mammoth I went in hard for us locally, since it's the only pro hockey I could get to since the 90s. Still obviously follow the Islanders, and when the team came out to Salt Lake last week, I needed to get there.
Ended up seeing Schaefer break the record for youngest player – not defenseman, player – to score in OT. My wife got the whole scoring sequence on video from our seats.
Kid makes me tear up every time I see him. I can't believe how good he is, or how good of a story he's turning out to be.
It’s been a long time but I am actually excited for the islanders this year. That kid sounds like a franchise player through and through
He is a great talent but no defenceman ever had an impact like Bobby Orr. Dont exaggerate please!
What people sometimes don’t realize is that when a superior skilled player gets to play with others that are highly skilled, their effect can be instantly magnified.
He's a franchise player. He's going to raise the Cup as an Islander.
The kid looks really good and if he continues to develop, he will become one of the best in the league. A little early to mention his name along with the likes of Makar, Hughes, and others not to mention Potvin, Orr, Robinson, Lidstrom, Park, and a host of other Hall of Famers. Hopefully we are seeing greatness in the making.
I just hope all the hype doesn't turn the kid into an egotistical jerk. Won't be surprised if it does.
Yep
Kid has Ohtani vibes lol.
Give me my 99 ovr card now. He winning it all.
We shruck gold ! Yes Yes Yes!
We got Schaefer on the isle, and Sennecke in OC. Coast to coast, these kids are helping their respective teams become a fun watch again.
Always loved the Isles for whatever reason, and as a Ducks fan I understand the recent frustrations y’all on the island have experienced.
too bad he went to one of the worst franchises in the league. Shouldve went to Chicago or SJ
I was bragging about him a few games into his first season. My brother in law and step son were laughing at me. Boy I can't wait to see them ! Lol
And we have another great defense man coming next year ! Mr Aitcheson!
As an isles fan, it's hard to out into words how exciting it is to see what he's been doing.
He's also 2nd on the team with a +9 and total points (tied with 2 others)
