Injury Report: Big Buff Discussion

[MrBoJangelz71]

View attachment 324303 Buffs Man Boobies say otherwise lol

This was from a week ago, so, to reiterate, Buff has zero intentions of playing hockey anytime soon, and most likely ever again.

The one thing that I find absolutely puzzling is that there seems to be not a single journalist in Winnipeg that can provide even a shred of insight into the Buff saga. Pretty sad if you ask me. (and, I know you're not asking me)

 

[angrymnky]

If, he was in playing condition, and he didn't want to play for the Jets anymore, all he had to do was show up and ask to be traded.

Why do you think that? Didn't happen that way for Kane and Trouba was done no favors.

 

[jetsforever]

I could be wrong obviously, but I find it hard to believe he wants to leave the Jets and join a different team. This seems much more like he just wants to retire.

This is how cowardly journalists in Winnipeg are. they won’t write any thing that TNSE won’t like. Friesen seems to be the only guy in Winnipeg willing to challenge anything, but he’s not even good.

You mean you are not numb to this effect yet? Well, it has kinda back like this since the return. Maybe Lawless was a bit critical but still.

What is perplexing is that they don't even seem to get any "solids" from TNSE in return for their tepidness. Most scoops around the Jets that I recall come from the national media. Even local boy Cody Eakin getting traded to the Jets was broken by Dreger lol. You would think at the very least these local guys would get a bone from TNSE in exchange for being "good on message journalists"... apparently not.

I don't follow other Canadian teams closely.... Do other teams in Canada have news broken by local sports personalities before the TSN or Sportsnet guys report it?

I don't know about most teams but the Sens have Bruce Garrioch who does the organization's bidding and gets lots of scoops.

Did he break the DeMelo trade?

I think it was the national guys?

Who is TNSE gonna give the scoop to Weeb? Hustler? Westwood? Paul Friesen?

TNSE gives no information to anyone under any circumstances. Winnipeg is probably the last place you would get inside information on moves the Jets are making. The national guys would get the info from the team they are dealing with or from the agent who is almost certainly not located in Winnipeg.

Under extenuating circumstances maybe....

How about the crime reporter?

I think the Jets' media just don't know what's going on. The Jets are notoriously close-lipped, Buff doesn't talk to anyone, and Buff's agent has likely only leaked a few nuggets to national reporters.

Jets don't leak anything. It's a very good policy, in my opinion. Unless an agent is leaking, there's nothing solid to report and Buff's agent has no incentive to leak at this point.

It's not as though there aren't Jets reporters that would like a bit of muckraking. McIntyre prides himself on it, as does Friesen. Wiecek will do some drive-by stuff, still. But they often are just speculating, and end up looking foolish.

For my part, I pay to watch the games, not to follow the soap opera stuff. Winnipeg is a small town in many ways and I've received non-hockey information about Jets at various points, but sharing it publicly lacks class, whether from a fan or a reporter.

 

[BigZ65]

Wiecek retired and the next generation Freep reporters are even lazier.

They still publish awful pap with Wiecek and his retirement travels, and he still takes swipes at the Jets. It's embarrassing.

I agree ...... I like that they run a tight ship and are not amature hour in the front office with leaks left right and center like some orginizations.......
The gossip bugs in us may not like it but it's is way better for those inside the orginization (especially the players) to run it this way.... IMO

Wiecek had that awkward personality to play an adversarial reporter the problem was his complete lack of talent. Paul wanted so badly to be the skilled heel (bad guy) that drew heat but sadly he never made it past that Brooklyn Brawler useless jobber level.

He can’t even retire right. Just a sad, punch drunk, has been, never was, Palooka.
