Oxbow6 Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Was buzzing around Fargo this morning when I caught "Beyond the Pond" with Puffy and his crew. Puffy said there was not much of chance that UND could get to the Frozen Four this year. He figured UND would be a 2, possibly a 3 seed in the big tourney. JPL is ok, not great, in net and not getting enough from Osh and Dunc. Also thought Duncan made a mistake coming back this year. But his Fluffiness thought that the Gophs still could get home ice for the first round of the WCHA? I must admit I caught bits and pieces, but it was obvious he thought after the 2 Colorado schools, everyone else was pretty close in the league. Did anybody else catch this?? Edit: Jeff "Puffy" Dubay of KFAN radio Quote

I'm surprised by the Puffs take on the Sioux. Usually he has nothing but love for the Green and White. Also surprised by his take on the goofs securing home ice. Seems that he's been down on them all year, and looking ahead in their schedule; UW tonight, UND at home, DU on the road, and Wisco back home...that's not an easy schedule for any team, especially for a team that's not on top of their game. Dubay can say what he wants about JPL, but I'm pretty sure that he'd trade Kangas and Frazee for him. Quote
Diggler Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Jeff Dubay of the PA & Dubay Show. It's a sports radio show on KFAN, 1440 AM in Grand Forks. Puffy is a Gopher hockey rube. He hates UND. Quote

I don't get why people think that Dubay is such of gopher homer. If Sid is a 10 on the Homer scale, Puffy is about a four. He'll tell you when the gophs are sucking it up. He'll also give tons of credit to UND when credit is due. And unlike Sid, Puffy won't predict a gopher sweep for this coming weekend. Unless the gophers play their best game of the year tonight, I can almost guarantee that Dubay will say that the gophers will be lucky to come away with one point next weekend. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Don't worry about Puffy, he usually never gets it right. He hates anything and everything about UND. Jeff Dubay Photo Quote
Goon Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Don't worry about Puffy, he usually never gets it right. He hates anything and everything about UND. Jeff Dubay Photo He probably said it to get Sioux fans all wound up, UND is tied for the second longest winning streak in the country right now. I think UND is playing pretty good btu isn't gettting a lot of love nationally, but who cares suppose? By why should Dubbers be any different than the other experts. I think if anything UND flies under the radar this season which is ok. Quote

I never said he was a homer, just a rube, which he is. He loves anything and everything Gopher. I like Dubay. Then again I like Woog too. Quote

FSSD Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 I listen to Puffy at times, most of the time he is fair. But he HATES UND!!! and the only thing he hates more is all things Wisconsin. I think they pod cast the program so if you wanted to listen to the program again. Just click the link - http://www.kfan.com/cc-common/podcast/sing...nd_The_Pond.xml Quote

UND has beaten both C.C. and DU one more time than UMN. Hey if you don't agree with him send him an email, Jeff is a stand up guy he will email you back. Quote

Not even after the West regional Quote
Shawn-O Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 If Dubay were not on the KFAN staff, there would be ZERO college hockey radio talk in this region, so I'll take the good with the bad. Quote

Not even after the West regional I have emailed him a few times and asked him some questions. Ussually get a respond right away. Maybe he is filtering UND messages now. LOL Quote
HeidiSioux62 Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 It's just fine with me if everyone wants to bash UND. Let everyone underestimate us. We can just fly under the radar and slip in the back door. I have no problem with back doors as long as we get there (and we seem to be doing a good job of getting there right now). Quote
yzerman19 Posted January 26, 2008 Posted January 26, 2008 Well, I think some on this board know my hatred of Dubay runs deep. It doesn't surprise me that he doesn't think UND is that good. He lives in the Gopher world. He only saw UND play against the Gophers, where we played perhaps our most uninspired series of the season. How can UND be ranked ahead of Denver...hmmm...AA this weekend is the only team we've played that isn't a team under consideration...hmmm...No one has a winning record against us....hmmm... Quote
