MATTHEW SCHAEFER scores 1ST NHL GOAL🥳☝️🚨
[Applause] Barcel will carry it. He’s
got the entry. Kicks it to the wall for Paul Murray. Matthew Schaer’s been
a regular on power play number two, but he’s out with the Top Guns right
now. Schaefer’s in D or excuse me, Duclair is in Dru spot as well. Druan suspended
for tonight’s game. Barcel will switch places with Schaeer. Matthew Schaefer back door. Duclair
all alone. He made the pass. Paul Mary shot was stopped by Thompson. Still losing. They scored
in Schaefer. The first pick has his first goal. Well, the referee calls this a goal. He’s
pointing at it. Puck was never I mean, it was a pile up in front of the net. So, they
may review this and see if there was goender interference, but Schaeer no hesitation and yeah,
he’s playing with the crowd. This is unbelievable, Butch. I mean, you talk about his willingness
to just go find it, whether it’s jumping into the play and watch this. He comes in superman
from the point everyone’s looking for. Where’s the puck? How’s this for a first innange go?
Whole scorers went like this. Unbelievable. And let’s as they huddle here, I mean, what a
shame it would be. The thing’s loose. There’s zero question about that. Look at the referee. I
mean, he’s standing there the whole time watching it. He knows it’s loose. And there’s no goalender
interference because it’s Wilson that’s in the net. So, we’ll see if they challenge it or not.
Again, the call on the ice initially was a good goal. They can change the call on the ice before
they need to go to review. They’ve called it a good goalie again after the conference on the
ice. It is now up to Spencer Carver if he wants to challenge. But right now, it’s Matthew Schaer’s
first NHL goal and a 4-2 lead now for Washington. Hey, and let’s keep an eye on Schaeer. This is
just incredible. Where is Matthew Schaer? I don’t know. There’s a jumbo going on. Look at him. Look
at the instinct. How about that to go down on one knee? The puck wasn’t even in a position for
him as he goes in for his slide. Look at where it look. So that’s all Washington Capitals in
the crease. And there it is. That’s going to be a good goal. I don’t know how you don’t call
that a good goal. What a special moment this is. They’re not going to challenge us, Brendon,
because if they lose, I must go on a power play. That’s a Carver says, “Hey, let’s challenge this
after all of that.” So, they’re going to tell us, they’re supposed to tell us now the reason
and we’ll hear why they’re challenging because that’s the most important thing.
Following play is under review for impass. Okay. Watch Tom Wilson right after this. And
I was wondering, so Tom Wilson’s going to be the one with right in front. And watch the
motion that he makes after this immediately. I I I don’t see pass. And it’s Carlson over top
from behind the net. And they’re they’re shaking their hand, but I’m looking for a hand pass.
Does it go off any Islander glove at any point? They’re saying Horvat punches it
into the pad of Thompson. Okay, that’s where it makes contact with the glove,
but the sticks on the glove. So, I mean, and and but but it’s not to another player of the
goalie pad. So, after he’s waving with his hand, John Carlson right at the left post there. But,
I mean, this thing’s right away. He’s saying hand pass. But I’m I’m really interested in situations
like this, Brandon, because you talk about continuation. Yeah, it did hit Andrew Lee’s glove,
right? It’s Horvat’s glove here. Right there. Sorry. Horvat’s glove. But that might actually,
you know, be up on the forearm, but but again, it’s not a it’s not a gloved pass to a teammate.
It’s off of the goalie. If it went in the net, right? This is a no. This this it it’s too
it’s too close to overturn. I would think the call on the ice was a goal. That should
matter. We’ll see. After reviewing the play, there was no hand pass from goal. It’s about
for the way of game and it’s a whole new hockey game. Brendan, back to the power play. That’s the
right call. That that is absolutely the right call and that’s risky now because if the
honors score again now it’s game on and all the momentum and with that Butch
for the next decade or two is Matthew Schaefer ever going to see power play two
again is my other question. Yep. Eers’s
#1 overall pick Matthew Schaefer scores his 1st NHL goal in just his 2nd game, diving and poking the puck home and after a long review, the 18-year old is on the board in his Islanders career.

"What the hell?" was my first thought. 😀
5 min vid for that tap in goal?
So happy for him Not an Islanders fan at all but I hope he does really good I’m rooting for him
2 games in and our HC was already calling him the best player on the ice. What a memorable 1st career goal. I loved even more him pumping up the crowd, and trying to will the team to victory. He is already establishing himself as the face and future captain of this team.
Congratulations. Sincerely- Chicago Blackhawks fan!
That's some good reffing
You can the isles but you cant hate schaefer.
Omg the ref but iam happy for matthew
Sorry caps but maybe they wanted him to have it…
Captain Schaefer : "RAMMING SPEED!"
Funniest first goal ever
kid gets a greasy playoff-style goal as his first, what a DAWG
Caps mad at what? Is was only caps players in the blue lol
So grateful to have seen that in person. Barn was rockin when he scored that
He smelled blood. Nothing weird about that goal. G-R-I-T. Solud first goal. G-R-I-T. We trade him away for pucks and I will dump this team. Been watching since the late 70s.
NY Doesn’t break out the Derek Jeter callout for just anyone.
The kid is already a star.
man is he such a gem. happy for the isles that they got their guy, but i was really hoping he'd be a shark lol
Bros making sure he’s a fan favourite what a guy 😂
RammStein
Congrats to him. Those caps black helmets look terrible.
Calder?
What a beaut! Phil Esposito said they all looked like breakaways in the paper the next morning.
First of many 😎
Garbage goal though.
I'm soooo excited for what the future potential is for this team!💙🤎💙🤎
Do the capitals think that looks good? 😂
Future HOF
OMG incredible!!!!
Greasy goals count, baby!! WTG Matt!
I became a fan using his 'Draft' card in NHL '25, as weird as it sounds!
