    Matthew Schaefer is 18 years, 73 days old today. Where was Cale Makar at the same age?  It was January 11, 2017; Makar had a goal and two assists for the Brooks Bandits (Alberta JR Hockey League) in an 11-3 win over the Olds Grizzlys that was witnessed by 1,073 fans. 5 1/2

    If Jacob DeGrom allows 112 earned runs on Wednesday without getting an out, he will still have a LOWER ERA than Jason Vargas #Mets #LGM

    Barry Trotz has moved into a tie for 2nd place for series wins by an #isles coach (1) with Jack Capuano and Terry Simpson. Al Arbour won the other 29. #NHL #NHLstats

    Good sign for #NHL fans... A healthy Eddie Olczyk leading Wrigley in Take Me Out to the Ball Game. When #Cancer loses, we all win!

    A reminder that the #Isles trailed the eventual #StanleyCup winners for a total of 8.8 seconds over 4 games — that close.

    Why #isles fans love @91Butch... Brendan: (with a few NYI in dressing room) "There's room on the bench for you Butch" Butch: "And my jersey is available too!" #StanleyCup @MSGNetworks

    Hmm. 17 wins at home. 17 wins on road. 17 wins for Lehner. 17 wins for Greiss. Must be the Matt Martin effect, right @sydneyesiason ? #isles

    The #NYR earned all 8 points over the #Isles this season - had NYI won one of those games (in regulation ) and all other games stayed the same - the NYR would have won the lottery. #NHLDraftLottery #NHL
