During the first intermission of the Toronto Maple Leafs' win over the Nashville Predators, the staff at TSN had a bit of fun during their Harvey's Quiz segment."
"Who does Schaefer remind you of? The question raised was, "Who does Schaefer remind you of?" And the answers were quite comical for a kid who has played three NHL games. A. Cale Makar B.

Matthew Schaefer, an 18-year-old defenseman, has impressed early in the season and drawn comparisons to top NHL defenders. During the first intermission of Toronto's win over Nashville, TSN staff featured a Harvey's Quiz asking which player Schaefer most resembles, offering Cale Makar, Quinn Hughes, Scott Niedermayer and Bobby Orr as options. Host James Duthie prefaced the question by warning of audience groans or screams at the answer choices. Panelists reacted with audible sighs and split votes, with two votes for Makar and two for Hughes. Cheryl Pounder praised Schaefer's skating efficiency, balance, speed, IQ and projected defensive growth.
