Flug was named 2nd team. How did they miss the mark? That's quite an honor.JohnnyBuck wrote:No Kate Flug? Wow! Alot of good players but I think they missed the mark on that one.
Amy Peterson ranks above Bowman, Rooney, Menke, Flug, & Wolfe in KRAPPI. If anyone missed the mark, I'd say they missed it by not putting Amy anywhere in the top 3 lines. She's a great player who seldom gets the recognition she deserves.
One could make a strong case that Schammel should be higher than 3rd line too, but as a junior making, it anywhere on the top 3 lines is an honor.
I wouldn't like to take anyone off the list, but I'd say K. Larson is the real dark horse here. Plenty of forwards have scored more, both in real points and points accounting for strength of schedule. Peterson, Falck, Wheeler, Boyd, Reilly, Rodgers, Brigham, Hespeneide, Williamson, and Roethke to name a few.

No disrespect to Larson, but your logic doesn't hold up.
Peterson was the leading scorer on the team that won the Lake Conference, arguably tougher night in night out. More importantly, Minnetonka has also won the last 2 State Championships, and Peterson was key in both. I don't know Peterson, but interesting that her reputation seems to be the type of player who cares very little about self promotion and outside accolades.
From a public recognition standpoint, better to be a very good player, and the leading scorer, on decent team than one of several great players on a great team.
BSM ranked first most of the year, and they have 1 representative. EP is second seed at state with only their goalie showing up on the 3rd team? The reality is, people will complain if all of the players from traditionally strong teams get the recognition "they deserve", so things like this are spread are among girls that are good players from a variety of schools.
I won't give the names, because then the discussion will go directly to "stop bashing a high school player on line", but Peterson could/should replace 4 of the forwards who made the list. And, there are defenders on the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd team that could be replaced by both Liv Halvorson of Benilde and Ari Reid of Lakeville South. In my opinion, the girls who made the list fit the category of:
1) Good players from programs less traditionally strong
2) Good players who have enjoyed the benefit of being in the "right" Minnesota hockey political circles from a young age

Got something better? It came to me in a vision, and I didn't want to tempt fate.sinbin wrote:Bandy, I like your thoughtfulness on the SOS-adjusted PPG, but I think you need to come up with a better acronym than KRAPPI. Just sayin' . . .
Not that KRACH is the best acronym, either, but just sayin' . . .
"Dani has some sick moves! She's one of the KRAPPIest players in the state." "But Kelly & Nicole are KRAPPIer!"
"Yeah, that's just because of the square root model. If you use KRACH SOS straight up, Amy and Laura are the KRAPPIest. Dani & Nicole aren't even in the top 5!"
Kind of grows on you, don't it?
