New York Islanders prospects Cole Eiserman and Danny Nelson continue to play well for Team USA at the World Juniors. Eiseman even made some noise for something he said to Team Canada after scoring a big goal on Tuesday night. We have the latest.
Plus, we delve more into Patrick Roy and his decision to pull Ilya Sorokin with a defensive zone faceoff in the final minute of Tuesday afternoon’s game. Was this a smart move and what does it say about Roy’s view of this team.
We also preview tonight’s rubber match between the Isles and the Toronto Maple Leafs as these two teams square off for the third time in less than 2 weeks.
All this and more on today’s Locked On Islanders Podcast with Gil Martin.

Eiserman is the hope. Needs some good young guys to play with. Hopefully still to come. A top 5 pick/several firsts would help.
Roy is just koo koo. Pulling the goalie on d zone face off last minute? wtf? No good can come out of pulling goalie down 5-1 with 10 minutes to go as well. No good can come out of pulling goalie down by 3 with 3 minutes left. Just chasing that goal given up. I saw wings pull goalie down 3-0 with 3 minutes to play vs. rags and give up e n g and lose 4-0. No good came out of that. This pulling the goalie b s down multiple goals is just a stat padder for scorers.
Danny Nelson has played well, too, from what I hear
How's Quinn Finley doing? I heard he's playing well, too
It makes sense that you would see Cole on the right side of Barzy at some point in time. Really question Roy as a coach! I want all coaches fired! Give Gallant a chance and let him pick his assistant coaches. Lou must Go
Best thing to happen is this msg and optimum dispute so don’t have to watch this team lol btw love eiserman passion and flare the big club has none of it
Good 🌄, Gil, how are you? Cole Eisernman is doing a fine job for Team USA in the 🌎 Junior Tournament. The kids got a spine. If Barzy and the Duke are still with the team, he's going to be great on the line with them. As of yesterday, MSG was removed from the Optimum service. As always, there's 💰 involved. I understand Patrick Roy pulling Ilya Sorokin to get the tying goal, but not when you're at a disadvantage, and you have a rattlesnake who has been spewing his venom ever since he left the team. He's being a daredevil. I think Lou Lamoriello should leave Roy alone, and let him coach the Islanders his way. They play the Maple 🍁 at UBS Arena tonight. The chances on them Auston Matthews back in lineup remains to be 👀; however, THEY NEED TO TREAD VERY LIGHTLY AROUND JOHN TAVERAS, that's the rattlesnake I'm talking about. HAPPY 🎂, Benin Kanapka. He was undrafted. Hear from you later, Gil, but before I go, I was looking at the roster of the Philadelphia Flyers, the only in their conference or division that the Islanders haven't played yet.The Flyers have a few players from Russia on the team. Ed Snider and Keith Allen would turn in their graves if they knew about this, especially after what happened in 1976. I think they had their secret weapon that 🌙, too. Now, LET'S GO ISLANDERS, and hope that the 2025 half of the season starts off just right.
Cole Bossyman
Gotham sports app is a buffering mess and a ripoff
Gm. When you are losing at the pace the Isles are losing, I think you can be very aggressive. I agree its not typical to pull the keeper when the face-off is in your end. I can only assume Roy felt like it needed to happen then.
Trash talking is unprofessional. What Eiserman did was unacceptable.
Good morning team! Gil, this may sound kind of harsh but, Patrick Roy is the man making the decisions. Each decision he makes is him trying to get the best out of the team. Do I agree with all the decisions he makes? Of course not, but he also has to own up to those decisions, good result or bad. I understand what he was trying to do, it just didn't work out as well as I had hoped it would. I agree with the other comments about Eiserman, Nelson, and Finley. It's nice to know, in a few years, possibly 3 to 4, we'll have some pretty exciting players to watch. Do you think we're going to sell at this year's trade deadline? I thinks that time has passed. Looking forward to seeing what our glorious GM will do. Maybe he thinks we can still win. That's insanity at its finest.
Everyone, have a great day! Hopefully we can get a revenge win tonight. See you all again tomorrow. Until then.. Let's Go Islanders!!
COLE is the real deal he is a true sniper reminds me of M.R. Bossy from the circle
Love cole abd danny! Love the fire and intensity cole shows and im hopeful we get more young scoring and we will be hard to beat! Lgi!
Cole has the potential to be a 40 plus goal scorer. We need 3 to 4 more coles and we will be on top of our division within 2 years.1st a rebuild by the deadline,trading palms and brock,and canning lou like a stack of sardines!
I think it’s obvious to everyone and the writing is on the wall that Lou must go and that the Islanders need to Rebuild/Retool. I just don’t think it’s obvious to the ownership and that’s unfortunate because the time to act and make changes is now. With the kids developing and playing well at WJC the Islanders need to take action now to position themselves to better help the kids adjust to the NHL when they finally do arrive. There’s definite friction between Lou and Roy I believe and that’s something that needs to be addressed asap.
