00:00Kid Rock, Schaefer, and the Isles finished season sweep of the Blue Shirts.
00:04Yes, you heard that right.
00:06The Islanders swept the Rangers, which tells you how bad things are for the Rangers right now.
00:12But look, this is all about Matthew Schaefer, and I love it.
00:16I absolutely love it when people back up what they talk.
00:20This young man talked about the fact that he wanted to beat the Rangers every time.
00:25And what did the Islanders do this year?
00:27Yeah, they beat the Rangers every time.
00:29That does not feel good for Rangers fans right now because the Islanders are kind of supposed to be little brother.
00:35I'm not trying to do Mets-Yankees, but you get my drift here.
00:38But Schaefer, he delivered, and not only did he do it with his mouth, he delivered on the ice.
00:42Gets a goal last night.
00:44Islanders win 2-1 over the Rangers.
00:46They complete that season sweep.
00:48Now, what's interesting is the Rangers, they had swept the Islanders last year.
00:52The Islanders said, uh-uh, no more.
00:54We're not having that.
00:55You're not dominating us here in New York.
00:57We're coming back.
00:58And for the Isles now, it's about can you build on this?
01:01If you're Matthew Schaefer, can you have that confidence to do more and have the Rangers in their misery?
01:07So right now, if you're a fan of the New York Islanders, you're feeling really good about this because the Rangers, they're down bad.
01:15That's a story for another day.
01:16But the Islanders right now, vibes are feeling good.
01:19They're second in the Metro.
01:20They're looking to try to do things this year, and this is a great confidence-building victory for this team.
01:27And not just a victory, the fact that you swept your rivals, your local rivals here after they dominated you last year, this is huge.
01:34So props to Matthew Schaefer for backing up your talk.
01:38Now, you'd like to see him talk some more.
01:40You'd like to see the Islanders possibly get some more wins.
01:43We'll see if all that's possible.
01:44But you've got to start with a season sweep.
01:46They did exactly just that.
