Have you seen Long Island traffic? I will always argue that it's worse than Manhattan. As an Amazon DSP driver, I'm in awful traffic every day, even on Sunday. People also use residential roads as short cuts all the time and it's very annoying.
very typical NHL player story..loving family who supported the rising star with a great family and sport atmosphere....and these players are all well spoken and give back and acknowledge the people who helped along their way..great stuff...i love the NHL..Go Sabres...
He is an awesome skater. Fun to watch. Arena becomes electric when he comes out on the ice! Being an Isles fan, I have had the pleasure of watching him play every game! Go Matt! Disappointed that he didn't attend the All -Star game to defend his fastest skater credentials!
I like this. One of the smartest things the Penguins ever did was having the rookie Sidney Crosby live with the Lemieux family when he first became a pro. Give him a more stable home life so he can really focus on developing into a star player with some perspective.
That last quote about Mat and his dad being floored by the amount of Barzal jerseys in the crowd is just so special, really shows what kind of people they are, so humble.
Matt is an incredibly fast skater. Skates around the defense as well as anyone that I have ever seen. Exciting to watch! All the fans know when he is on the ice! Go Isles! btw- Shesterkin definitely deserved to win the Vezina Trophy! Incredible athlete!
Lmao, why whenever two Canadians like him and his dad have a conversation together they immediately start sounding like the South Park versions of themselves? "Ohl you think sew, ehh?"
This kid was noticably the most skilled player on the ice most nights during the playoffs before being eliminated by Tampa. Islanders just need to get a finisher to put along side him and he'll be a 90-100 point player every year
I skated with him in camp on my reserve in Saskatchewan He is friends with my older cousin Ethan Bear. If you skate with him he is so fast and he is really nice. He played with my cousin on Seattle thunderbirds
WOW! What a nice down to earth Canadian boy not even a superstar attitude and this guy can fly. Denis is a class veteran, hopefully knows some German restaurants to take Matt to; love their food- I worked there 4 years.
Remember, the Oilers traded two draft picks for Griffin Reinhart. Those draft picks became Mat Barzal and (thanks to some trades by the Isles) Anthony Beauvillier.
I think boston was the team that really fucked up here, thay had 3 picks in a row and didnt even trade down. Barzal was easily BPA at the draft day. It is one thing when you have just 1 pick, if you do not pick the BPA if you like someone else better but when you have 3 in row, come on, what where they thinking? If they really didnt like him, they should have traded a pick out of those 3. Worse draft decension i have seen.
So different than the NBA rookie film. The NBA guy had a big Benz with a gold hood ornament and three h0's in the car with him. His crib was decked out with all the trimmings.
I been an islander fan since 2001...and Mathew Barzal is my favorite islander ever i hope he stays with this team as long as he plays nhl..or about to retire and wants to change teams to win a cup
When I was a kid in east northport,Long Island. Brian Trottier lived a few houses down from us. And half the team lived in the neighborhood. We used to play street hockey on his street. Because it was the least amount of cars. We never bother him when he drove by once in a blue moon. But we knew who it was. He waved once or twice.
Scotty Mayfield personally I would love to have him on my team if I were a coach or GM. But I guess BOS don’t see it that way. I consider him a younger Claude Giroux - an elite playmaker, get you 55-60 assists a season, maybe 25-30 goals.
Although i am a diehard Ranger fan, after watching this clip of this fine young man. I hope he scores 10 goals against my team as long as we win 11"-10...
Lmao Guy was ubering around and getting rides, then they got on a win streak and they told him to get a car. Then he's like "No I can't right now we're hot" haha what a great guy
good number, good dude, keep it real and stay humble! i'm playing out for the first time in 5 years and as a skater want your number to exemplify my hockey spirit...no pressure, kill it Mat!
This is why NHL players rarely go broke once they retire. Meanwhile players from other sports, especially NFL, buy a mansion before their first check even clears. Barzal is one of many that wont need a coaching or broadcasting job once he retires.
NothingToPointOut24 because most NFL players were in poverty so the minute they got their check, they felt like they needed to buy everything. A bit différent for nhl players. Families had enough money to provide for everything in the house
No doubt the way NHL players grew up was very different than the way NFL players did, but you'd think, or I think atleast, that growing up poor would make them respect money a little more. How a person can blow millions of dollars in a short amount of time is beyond me. You can live very nicely off of a those contracts without living above your head. Its the jewelry, 3rd and 4th cars, boats and $10,000 nights out that puts those guys in the poor house.
NHLers, in the main, are cut from very different cloths comparied to professional athletes in, say, American football, soccer, or basketball. They seem to be uniformly humble, grounded, down-to-earth, self-assured, dedicated, hard-working men. Another reason why I respect hockey culture.
sadly he left my sphere with that music.... even though i shall never tarnish my soul with him again it is still interesting that he lives in seidenbergs basement
I remember watching the 2015 draft thinking he was going top 5 or so... my bruins had 3 consecutive picks and PASSED UP ON HIM. I couldn’t fucking believe it. I love Sweeney and the things he’s done but that’s one thing I’ll never forgive him for. I knew this guy was going to be good, they took Zachary senyshyn over this goat Salty B’s fan, but I’m glad he went where to NY because now he has the shot to be a #1 center where as in Boston he would’ve been drowned out like Seguin was.
It makes me sick as an Oilers fan watching this guy play. He's such a great player! What's even worse is that we wouldn't have taken him anyway! Shows how good our scouting staff is!!! The Islanders love to trade with us, we give up high picks and good players and take their garbage!
I feel the same. Being fully aware of Barzal, when the OIlers got to #16 I was screaming at the TV for them to take him, then they made that stupid announcement of a trade for Reinhart. Sadly you're right, word is they wanted Ek who ended up in Minnesota. Brutal scouting staff is what got the Oilers into this mess the last decade. Mind you, if Edmonton did take him, they might not have shown the patience NYI did by sending him back to junior twice, and then giving him first line PP duty once he arrived. I don't think he gets 85 points as a rookie with the Oilers, simply because I doubt he would have gotten the same ice time (even though he should). I wouldn't trust them to do the right thing with him.
the convo between mat and his dad is so canadien
Kevin Canadian*
Yul think sew, ehh?
As a Canadian I can confirm that's it's so, so Canadian.
lmao i stopped the video to see who commented on it

Matt “yup theres story there crushing it”😂😂😂
hahahaahha
only thing she crushed was her skull
Thought the same thing lol
I had to rewind that about 10 times. I couldn't stop laughing!! hahaha
barzal turned around when that happened so he didnt see

Drive on Long Island, especially in Nassau County. You'll see. Directionals are NOT optional.

Same Barzal is my biggest idol
Wait, you met him
What a great kid. What a contrast to nfl players on a whole
This dude is a natural infront of the camera
Such a grounded individual, gotta love the full canadian coming out with his dad hahaha
He's never moving out
Jim Brady lol. I m sure he gives them some money
if it means he is never leaving the Islanders I am fine with it
Jim Brady unless Seidenberg signs elsewhere this off season lol
About spit my beer on that one Jim! LOL
Reminds me of Crosby who spent almost 5 years at the Lemieux !
Look at those veins.

So happy he’s on the islanders! We love him here. He’s going to be a star for years to come!
Probably the nicest basement I’ve ever seen
slept on, not even an islanders fan but matt barzals a legend
You have to love how the treat Matthew like a older brother
I would die for this man
Did anyone else see the little girl almost go through the wall and get CTE?
she's German. We can tear down walls and are just fine
Barzal is the guy who you just love to see do well. Can’t hate him
Super happy for this guy. Or anyone that makes it to the NHL. For them it dreams comes true.
He’s a good dude it seems. I hope he has a great career :)
This is so wholesome.

Rebecca and Dennis are missed terribly in Boston. Such great people
i’m from long island and as soon as i heard him say “so” i was like wow his canadian accent is so strong
@ASHVINAN SIVASAMBU your dumb bud
Remember, the Oilers traded two draft picks for Griffin Reinhart. Those draft picks became Mat Barzal and (thanks to some trades by the Isles) Anthony Beauvillier.
So dumb how Oilers gave this guy up for nothing oh pardon *Chiarelli
mid 1st and high 2nd, for someone who couldn't stick with the team and whom they lost in the expansion draft. Absolutely got fleeeeeeced
TheRandomGuy they didn’t he was drafted by the islanders

Hew W Debrusk has panned out well
Roni Rytkonen He's 20 lol
Mrs. Seidenberg is beautiful
Barzal smashed her 100%

Massive difference in pay between nhl compare to the nba nfl and mlb
so humble🙏
He is fun to watch. So fast and awesome stick handling.
I remember going to Ethan bear hockey camp he plays for Edmonton and be brought barzal with him he’s such a nice guy
His flow is fireee 🔥🔥🔥😤😤
I was lucky to watch him play here in Seattle a bunch of times
Logan Yee he terrified us in Victoria
I used to love watching tyler johnson when he played for the chiefs here in Spokane i know what u mean
This dudes veins are incredible.
Justin Hoffman someone has a crush
Handsome kid...im a NYR fan ,but I wish this kid the best...heckuva player to watch. I was using him a ton on DraftKings when he was undervalued LOL
I'm so glad my brother got to practice with this dude and go to the T-birds camp with him. It's actually insane to think that.
he's handsome, he's an athlete, and he's good with kids...
Such a likeable guy
Even if your not an Islanders fan how could u not like this story? Who would downvote this i mean
Oilers fans? LOL.
I been an islander fan since 2001...and Mathew Barzal is my favorite islander ever i hope he stays with this team as long as he plays nhl..or about to retire and wants to change teams to win a cup
He's going to leave like Tavares
Imagine if the oilers didn’t make that trade and took Matt and have mcdavid and drisital that would be the number on line in the league
Only if we had defense and goaltending
The wife is awesome at 4:58 hella respect
Hockey players dont skip leg day. Those thighs wtf
As someone who is legitimately a friend with Story I can confirm she is a very nice person

What an absolute beautician! The one bright spot on the island right now!
i remember watching him in Seattle, glad he made it
I could watch an hour of this
The Bruins passed on him... 3 times 😂
B Wells their loss
He is too flashy for BOS’s style of play. I guess BOS didn’t want to deal with another Tyler Seguin.
@@nickfury8973 thank god you're not a coach or GM
