Niagara @ Cornell 11/21/17

They're the favorite if MSG matters.

They're also the favorite if you look at things that actually matter, like the talent on each team...

FFS.  You must have been so disappointed when we won last night.

Am I being a hater by saying Cornell doesn't have the talent of a team with 13 draft picks, three of whom are first-rounders? I root for Cornell as hard as anybody but it helps to be realistic: BU has better talent than Cornell and possibly has better talent than any team in the country. That's what's working in their favor. 2018 results thus far are what's working in Cornell's favor, as you said. Given the small sample and the fact Cornell hasn't yet outplayed a good team, I would guess that, all things considered, Cornell is a slight underdog. There's no shame in being a slight underdog to BU.

Sorry if I came off as rude. But history at MSG matters nil (you probably knew that). The players on a team matter a lot.

Draft picks aren't always the best way to measure talent. Players are drafted on potential. Often, undrafted older players will be better, right now, than some younger drafted guy that an NHL team thinks will develop.

Sorry.  I misjudged your intent.
