‘I want my buddies back’: Isles’ Scott Mayfield awaits NHL restart
Balancing antsiness and caution has been the most difficult task for most of us as we begin to slowly reopen our city and move back toward some sense of normalcy.
New York Islanders defenseman Scott Mayfield is no different, even though he and his teammates are closing in on restarting their season, which was paused on March 12 due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
“There’s a lot of boxes that need to be checked for us to come back and play,” Mayfield ceded via a Zoom teleconference earlier this week following a voluntary group workout at the Isles’ practice facility on Long Island.
