Do you remember December 29th, 2018? When the New York Islanders traveled to Toronto to play against their former captain John Tavares and his Toronto Maple Leafs?
Do you remember how on July 1 the Toronto Maple Leafs were crowned as the 2019 Stanley Cup Champions before a puck was even dropped? Do you remember the New York Islanders being designated as the bottom feeders of the league on the same day?
On December 29th that changed thanks to Mathew Barzal. December 29th was the night that Mathew Barzal made us all believe.
