Staple Twitter Q&A: Nobody likes you when you’re 23. Barzal, beatwriting and Blink-182

Before seeing Blink-182 in concert last night, Newsday Islanders reporter Arthur Staple took some questions from fans via Twitter about many topics, including Mathew Barzal, Ryan Strome, Mikhail Grabovski and the differences between being a columnist and a beatwriter.

Here’s a small selection of the responses and the full thread can be found here. As always, we thank Arthur for his time and hope the band played his favorite song, Josie.

Barzal-182

Training camp is going to mean an extended look at 2015 first rounder Mathew Barzal, who seems like the most likely prospect to make next the team.
