Better Red than Dead
Having seen all the above teams, the only one I'd place on the same level as this Concordia team is the '13 Patriotes. UNB is absolutely the favourite, but here is what I believe:
- York would have been a much more significant underdog than Concordia.
- This year's Concordia team would be a significant favourite over last year's Queen's team.
- The 2018 Stingers are a much better team than the 2012 Mustangs.
- I'd slot a Concordia upset as the second-most likely upset of the first round (IMO, Acadia over Alberta and Brock over St FX would both be "bigger" upsets).
Again, UNB is the favourite, and with good reason - but make no mistake, this is a much tougher matchup for UNB than York would have been.
UNB 8-1 with a 52-17 shot count. I think we can close the book on this discussion.
UNB is 16-2 vs OUA at Nationals and 57-3 vs OUA (all games) since 2000
