Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
Blake Biondi HT 31-29-60pts. He’s de facto AA

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
Nobody is catching Gleason at this point. While Hermantown has played some strong AA teams their schedule still has a pretty strong A flavor to it so probably not a perfect translation.
Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
I wouldn’t be to sure of that, Gleason has 3 games remaining, Stillwater, Forest Lake & WBL. Biondi has 5 games left, Virginia, St Cloud, Superior, LVS & GR. Biondi has 60 points in 20 games, Gleason has 66 points in 22 games. Agree Gleason will have the most points for AA teams, that’s true. But then there’s de facto AA Hermantown. And between those 2 players, it will go down to the wire, in addition to which of these 2 players is named Mr. HockeySection 8 guy wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 9:57 pmNobody is catching Gleason at this point.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
I was referring to the AA race and AA players not catching Gleason since that’s the title of the thread. Biondi plays in Class A and plays a class A schedule.
Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
According to PageStat....the SOS (as of 2/1) regardless of A or AA designation...CDH and Hermantown are 33 and 35 respectively....not significantly different. As such it's probably a fair comparison for Gleason and Biondi.Section 8 guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 10:51 amI was referring to the AA race and AA players not catching Gleason since that’s the title of the thread.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
I respectfully disagree about Biondi playing a true Class A schedule, they simply don’t But I agree with your overall assertion regarding (strictly) AA scoring.Section 8 guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 10:51 amI was referring to the AA race and AA players not catching Gleason since that’s the title of the thread.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
The reality is their strength of schedules is nearly identical to date if you believe PageStathockey59 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 11:38 amI respectfully disagree about Biondi playing a true Class A schedule, they simply don’t But I agree with your overall assertion regarding (strictly) AA scoring.Section 8 guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 10:51 amI was referring to the AA race and AA players not catching Gleason since that’s the title of the thread.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
The scoring race is one thing. The Mr. Hockey race is a completely different thing. The scoring race will have little impact on the Mr. Hockey race, which is incredibly close, IMHO. Here's my current thought on that...
1a. Gleason
1b. Biondi
They are both incredibly important to their respective teams, which are both good teams. These are the only two I think can win it.
3a. Blake Perbix (have to pick one player from the stellar SCC team, might as well be the leading scorer)
3b. Grant Slukynsky
3c. Evan Bushy (no chance to win, but nobody has carried their team more)
The rest of the field is a crap shoot.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
Overall strength of schedule can be pretty misleading when it comes to point production. Two teams could have fairly similar overall SoS.....but if one of them has 5 games on their schedule where a top player has the potential to pile up 25-30 points in those 5 games and the other team doesn’t have any of those type of games that’s a game changer for a player accumulating numbers. There’s always context which is why it’s hard to compare.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
Exactly why folks can't get too caught up in stats. It's a piece of information, but shouldn't decide much of anything by itself.Section 8 guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 1:02 pmOverall strength of schedule can be pretty misleading when it comes to point production.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
Got it. So CDH has no cupcakes on their schedule because they are AA playing a AA schedule.Section 8 guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 1:02 pmOverall strength of schedule can be pretty misleading when it comes to point production.

But here you are in this thread trying to compare Biondi and Gleason....because in your mind Class A is the only reason Biondi is close to Gleason in points.Section 8 guy wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 1:02 pmThere’s always context which is why it’s hard to compare.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
If the scoring race has little impact on the Mr. Hockey race why are their no defensemen on your list. I would put Wyatt Kaiser at 1c. and end the list there. It would not be an injustice if any of those 3 won it.The Exiled One wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 12:03 pmThe scoring race is one thing. The Mr. Hockey race is a completely different thing.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
I think Kaiser, Schweitzer, and Richels would all be above those three.The Exiled One wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 12:03 pmThe scoring race is one thing.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
The 2 Century kids are both 6 points behind with 4 games left; Owatonna, Northfield, Winona, and Breck. Not exactly a gauntlet. I’d give one of the 2 a 33% chance to catch him.Section 8 guy wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 9:57 pmNobody is catching Gleason at this point.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
Bushy is a defenseman. I don't have a problem with Kaiser, Schweitzer, or Richels being named finalists, but I don't think Kaiser will beat out Biondi or Gleason.WarmUpTheBus wrote: ↑Tue Feb 04, 2020 1:45 pmIf the scoring race has little impact on the Mr. Hockey race why are their no defensemen on your list.

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
If there’s a harsher critic (than ME) of Hermantown continuing to play “single a”...I’m not sure who it is (probably Jeffy). But...Biondi’s brilliance can’t be brushed aside because the powers that be at HT (leaders & school administrators) are utter morons

Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
Everyone has opinions
Re: AA scoring leaders through Feb 1
A good way to evaluate scoring leaders to account for the level of play is to normalize the raw scoring data with respect to the quality of the opposing team, its goalie and the quality of the scoring team. Once you run the numbers for these considerations, then you get a true picture of the most talented scoring leaders in the state. This was done for the MN Girls data back two years ago and what it showed was that the NCAA D1 commits rose to the top of the list, while the girls who were piling up scoring point against extremely weak competition dropped down to about average.
