Director Judd Apatow, who grew up in Syosset, has accepted Bobby Nystroms Twitter invitation to re-connect.
Apatow posted a picture on his Instagram account on Thursday of him as a youth posing with the Islanders legend and the Stanley Cup in 1980, explaining Nystrom was a neighbor of my friend Michael Schwartz inhis condo community in Syosset.
Nystrom then recorded a video via the teams Twitter account on Friday, saying he had seen Apatows photo and that it brought back a lot of good memories of Syosset and the championships. He invited Apatow to join him for an Islanders game whenever play is resumed after the COVID-19 pandemic.
Apatow responded, via Twitter, I am in! Thanks Bobby! You were always kind to everyone when we were kids and it meant the world to us. See you at a game hopefully it wont be too far in the future.
