LW Cole Eiserman - USNTDP U18 (2024, 20th, NYI)

[William H Bonney]

It's impressive that his production is still rolling even though him and Hagens have been split up.

Who are his lineys now?

 

[William H Bonney]

Who are his lineys now?

Recently they've been Bednarik and Ziemer

Well, Gopher fans would love to keep that chemistry going.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Isn't he son of Yzerman?

No

 

[Postulates]

Up to 33 goals in 31

 

[Bonin21]

Caufield: 44 in 40
Eiserman: 34 in 33
White: 33 in 47
Kessel: 31 in 32
Lucius: 31 in 46

 

[Bonin21]

Actually I think it's 32 in 32 right now for that U17 record tracking, since the 2 in 1 for the U18 team won't count toward that.

 

[Bonin21]

And I think as far as goals in U17 year (for either team), it's something like this:
Caufield: 54 in 59
Kessel: 52 in 62 (not sure about this one)
Hughes: 40 in 60
Eiserman: 34 in 33
White: 34 in 55
Keller: 34 in 61

 

[William H Bonney]

Lined up at center with the NTDP tonight. Will be interesting to see if they commit to trying him there for awhile.

 

[Fyodorov]

Fed the OT winner to Hagens tonight!

You don't find it odd that a son's last name would be spelled differently from his father?

 

[Kshahdoo]

But isn't it pronounced the same way?

 

[WeThreeKings]

Nope.

Eyes-er-man.

You have to pronounce the Y in Yzerman.. it has a different phonetic start than Eis

 

[Kshahdoo]

Nope.

Cool, thanks, didn't know it.

 

[macbowes]

Nope.

Yuh-eyes-er-man

No offense, but this is wrong; Yzerman and Eiserman are pronounced exactly the same.

Eyes-er-man is the pronunciation for both names. They're the same name that is anglicized differently, that's all.

 

[Rabid Ranger]

Nope.

Yuh-eyes-er-man

Huh?

 

[GoBoltz56]

Cool, thanks, didn't know it.

He's messing around with you. They're pronounced the same.

 

[William H Bonney]

He's at center again today and has 1a so far as the U17s lead Chicago 4-1 after 2. Some really interesting (to say the least) coaching, though, on this U17 team.

I'm all for breaking up Hagens and Eiserman, which has been the case for a while, as it's good for their long-term development to learn to carry lines on their own as the U17s are a good team but not loaded with high-end talent outside of those two.

But Eiserman not playing on the PP? There is absolutely no scenario where Noah Lapointe - of his 9 assists on the season - should be on the PP1 unit, let alone on it ahead of Eiserman, or on it playing a forward position when you have Eiserman. And then Eiserman isn't even seeing PP2 time, either. Has anyone caught recent U17 games - is this a trend? He's playing PK, so I can't imagine it's an attitude issue or something.

 

[Postulates]

Plays on the OT 3 on 3 group with Hagens still

Honestly, probably just giving other kids development opportunities. I don't think they are as concerned in their u17 years racking up W's as much as developing all the kids on the team.

To an extent, yes, but he's the only top guy on the team that wasn't seeing PP time yesterday. I don't know if this is an extended thing or not but not having one of the most prolific goal scorers in program history on the PP is unheard of.

sorry to say, they are pronounced the same way...you do not say the y in yzerman...they are said the same...

you do not say Yzerman as Why-zer-men...it is say eye-zer-men

Maybe he wanted to separate himself but he isn't that creative with names
