Little bit of a donny brooke in front of Fowler. Two many PKs for BC so far.

Good lord Leonard crushed a Vermont player coming into the offensive zone and separates him from the puck which leads to a 3 on 2 for a goal.

Leonard good screen on the vermont goalie and Gautier score his 2nd of the night. And another goal for BC the next shift 4-0.

2nd goal might not be his

flashing lights yada yada

He sure has that move where he curls the puck towards his feet while moving slightly laterally to change the release angle down pat.

Got no point (goal or assist) on the play. PNHLe score unaffected. Has no bearing on whether he's going to be good or not.

Having my professional career technically supporting a spatial/data analysis flagship product for 20+ years it is laughably easy to see where data input has issues. If you watched the game last night I'll shut the hell up and respect the take. Otherwise...

Hah.

I should clarify and provide background, and to acknowledge that I did not watch the game. While my specific job doesn't utilize much in the way of analytics or spatial analysis, my employer (wth... I work for MITRE) has a heavy focus in the area, and I respect the output of those processes (for my field) as long as the inputs 'make sense', given my 20 years of history in a specific technical analysis discipline.

PNHLe, used by some to determine prospect rankings, only factors in points. It's only stated purpose is to compare individual points-based performance across various junior, minor, and International leagues.

A 'good play' that doesn't lead to a goal or assist being awarded to the player who made said play will therefore not lead to a positive comparison for that player versus others.

My only point was to criticize the use of PNHLe to rank prospects.

 

[Random schmoe]

And just for the record, the creator of PNHLe stated over the summer that "Ryan Leonard tracks as a player with much higher offensive upside than the PNHLe model projects."

Sincerely appreciate this post.

Gotta love our “grinder” prospect up to 23 goals on the season playing on the #1 team in college hockey.

That was impressive. Man among boys play, by Leonard. And the beauty of a pass for the apple.

Pretty sick.

And I LOATHE BC Hockey — f*** that team (I’m a UNH alum…some of my fondest memories were at the old Snively Arena from 88-92, saw almost all their home games …also been to BC, BU, Prov, Maine, Verm, and Northeastern arenas. Fun times)

Leonard makes it 1-0
