Teammates no more, nine players from Team USA are ready to square off as Boston College meets rival Boston University - The Boston Globe

There will be no reminiscing when the teams line up for the home-and-home series beginning Friday night at Agganis Arena.

Scored again last night but team got spanked.

Gopod to know that he scored, but let's keep this thread about on ice stuff, OK?

That was Eiserman's 15th, tied for the team lead and most of any NCAA rookie. The goals will keep coming, but equally important, his defensive and physical play have steadily improved this season. Don't be surprised if he spends a second year at Prof. Pandolfo's finishing school.

Best thing he can probably do is stay in college for one more year, but NYI will be tempted to get him to turn pro this spring. They need all the help they can get.

 

[leeroggy]

Care to elaborate on how you reached this conclusion and support it? You know with some evidence or at least some observations?

Easy, he misspelled Boeser . . .

I think him going for at least another year would be beneficial to him. As an isles fan I hope he does stay another year at least.

We need all the help we can get but not at the expense of their #1 prospects development. They have to think bigger picture and do what’s best for Eiserman.

Kid just continues to score. Still leading all NCAA freshman. Helped win the Bean Pot for BU.

 

[SI90]

Sick hand eye and reaction time to knock this puck out of mid air in a split second.

 

[seafoam]

So intense, I’m gonna start referring to him as Coke Eiserman.

He is silencing his critics and making believers out of doubters......

can't one be both?

He definitely needs work, and has warts in his game. I understand why he wasn't a top 10 pick. But the dude shoots 25%, and you can just see why. It's not just the one-timers, and it's not luck.

IDK. Seems like all he can really do is score lots and lots of goals.

Some months ago, many were writing him off completely. I'm not saying he should have gone top five in last year's draft, but I think few would argue that he is a legit prospect who has the potential to score gobs of goals in the NHL.

I don’t know that the big picture has changed that much with Eiserman. He still looks like the same player. I think there’s less spotlight on him because now he was drafted.

He can work on being more engaged and more tactical on the defensive end, but I see the biggest problem still as he might not be enough of a positive player when he’s not scoring goals to generate the type of ice time that’ll get him all the goals that he can score.

He’s a weird hockey player. To me there are fundamental problems with his hockey sense with the puck on his stick, his passing, his puck handling, his board battles, and then obviously his defense and general engagement in his game. How much of that is fixable? I genuinely don’t know. I think some is, but is enough fixable to want to play him top line NHL minutes? Top 6? Middle six? 3rd line? Sheltered PP specialist? You rarely see a player where you’re convinced he will be able to do the hard part in the NHL, but questioning if he can do the easy part.
