Notable NY Islanders detester is changing his tune due to the emergence of Matthew Schaefer

Whether it’s his rivalry with NY Islanders legend Butch Goring or his disdain for the team's “boring” style of play, Paul Bissonnette, part of the NHL on TNT panel and the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast, has made his disdain for the organization known.

There haven’t been many bright spots for the NY Islanders through three games, but Matthew Schaefer is turning heads. With three points in three games and playing over 26 minutes in two of those games, the young defenseman will even have Bissonnette tuning into Islanders games.

“Matthew Schaefer is worth the price of admission,” Bissonnette said on the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast.
