brianvf Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I have never met redwing77 before. After reading his takes on here, I would buy him a beers to listen to his opinions on various hockey subjects. I may not agree with everything he would say but, I know I would be enlightened, educated and enjoy my next hockey game even more after the chat. Now that is just plain scary.

Pipewrench Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Give Puff some credit guys - After tonights game is this team looking anything close to winning the frozen four? I think that JPL is!! Puffs is a creditable source of hockey media and has reasons for his opinions - lack of supremacy over any ranked team - and his analysis of the Sioux has nothing to do with Minney at all - though it may after next weekend! Sioux are doing good right now against some fairly soft oppenants and building up some steam, hopefully JP and the rest of the Sioux can works some magic next weekend!

TheGreatSiouxNation Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 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 Did you also hear that he got an invitation to Derrick Shepperd's son's birthday party next week? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackheart Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I suddenly feel better about the Sioux knowing an expert like Dubay picks them to not make F4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxnami Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I suddenly feel better about the Sioux knowing an expert like Dubay picks them to not make F4. If Dubay was a Dr. he would kill more people than Kevorkian. He's been right about college hockey about as much as Sid... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farce poobah Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Maybe Puffy only watches the Sioux when they are in GF on Saturdays ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Sicatoka Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 All Puffy cares is if you pay attention to anything he says. Now you'll listen all week. He accomplished his task: not college hockey, ... ratings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Nice shout out to BB, Redwing77. Radio personalities are different than experts. Woog is an expert, Lou Nanne is an expert. Jeff Dubay is an entertainer, just like a clown in the circus or a poodle in a dog and pony show. I agree. It's similar to when Looker announced the Holy Cross score during the Gophers/Sioux series in Grand Forks. Both Looker and Dubay can be viewed as entertainers and that's why I don't understand why we some of our fans are getting excited about this.

siouxguyinstpaul Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks. There's a reason not to listen to talk radio. Metropolitan Minnesota Sports Talk Radio anyway - with the exception of Patrick Ruesse - all of these rubes are so much of a homer its embarrassing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siouxguyinstpaul Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 We won't be able to find anything out about the Gophers in April because they won't be playing. not past March 16th in all likelyhood Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tnt Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Didn't get a chance to read through all of this, so I don't know if someone touched on this. How can someone who professes to know so much about college hockey say that they would be shocked if the Sioux made the Frozen Four. As a Sioux fan, having watched a ton of WCHA hockey over the years, I would not be shocked to see any top 5 WCHA team make the Frozen Four. So how can he in good conscience say that a top 3 WCHA team that according to him before the season had the most talent in the league, and has played the toughest schedule in the country would be a shock to make the Frozen Four? He changes opinions more than the wind and then passes himself off as an expert. First the Vikings were going to win 9 or 10, then they would only win 4 or 5, then he thought they would make the playoffs. I hate to tell him, anyone could be an expert by changing with the wind.

I'm sure his odds have dropped even more for UND since they moved up to #3 in both polls this week Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fargosioux Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 He must be reading INCH. They were so impressed with Minnesota's loss and tie with Wisconsin that they moved them up 3 spots in their power rankings this week to #14. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportsDoc Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I'd rather hear an incoherent rambling now and then, versus absolutely no talk about college hockey whatsoever. Your wish has been granted! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDLeafsGuy Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Thanks for posting, I will listen to it on my IPOD. thanks I will google it on my ipod (common man) ps puffy isn't to far off on his statements our club needs to get alot better to make the final push down the stretch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sioux_Hab-it Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 I don't know who this Puffy character is but I am willing to bet at some point in his childhood his dreams for his beloved Gophers were crushed by the Sioux. Furthermore, I don't know how credible he is as a sportswriter but he seems to get a thread on this site from time to time which maybe has him believing he is credible and that he is on to something. In conclusion, I say who cares what a Gopher fan has to say about the Sioux, I think his own team has given him plenty to write about.

Ummmm. no you are way off base there. Sid knows nothing about college hockey. Puffy knows a lot but is a Gopher fan, hence we don't like him. At least he is willing to talk college hockey or the Fan would have no coverage of it at all. I have net Puffy a few times, he is a dink but give him credit for at least promoting college hockey.
