damn, 15 years ago, the golden age of the internet and youtubes come up! i miss when the sabres were at least a playoff team... feels like yesterday i was watching max, time flies
I'm from Buffalo and watched him often. A lot of times he didn't score but created so much havoc with his speed and stick handling that players on the opposing team would pulled out of position. They would lose their cool. Many times that would result in a Sabres goal. He was vital to that Sabres team's chemistry 2005-2007.
@:.56, the skating, foot control, puck control, knowledge of where others are and concentration is out of this world!!! One of the best players in my book!
There's no one in hockey that can do what Afinagenov on skates. His balance, speed, leg strength and ability to stop on a dime are supernatural. He's been a little iffy stick handling since his injuries last year, but he's been playing very well so far and finally got a goal in after all those great chances. He'll kick it up again very quickly.
I agree, he'll probably have a great season next year in the KHL when he signs with Dinamo Minsk.....or maybe CSKA Moscow, or perhaps Ak Bars Kazan. Or one of the other KHL teams.
Afinogenov Rules! Most spectacular player since Pavel bure! And god does he loves to score!! =D By the way songs are My Chemical Romance - Helena My Chemical Romance - Black Parade.
i believe maxim just needs a change in scenery and alot of people also agree. imo the wild would be a good fit for him in the new system we are running thats alot about skating, and we all know afinogenov is a great skater.
Yeah he didnt play that well this season, you're right about that. However, he wont be playing for Buffalo next season, I can assure you that. He's gonna have a fresh start with a new team and he's gonna produce again like he did a couple years ago. Mark my words buddy!
I am a SABRES FAN. I am from Buffalo, I even interned for the Sabres. They have plenty of talent left on the team that I actually like. This guy is a complete and total joke. I know because I actually watch him, unlike the idiots that praise him on this video.
joe todaro, u can't say that he sucks, when he raped the league a couple years ago, when buffalo was hot. Him and Vanek completely dismantled the leagues goalies in 07
Ok, thats why every announcer both national and regional agree with me. Max won't even be in the NHL next year because he sucks. Hope you like watching KHL via online streams because that's the only way you're gonna find him next year.
I love it when people pull facts out of the air and have no basis for them. "Some people say it's the best league int he world." Who? The KHL takes players who can't make it in the NHL either because they're too Old (Jagr) or just suck (Emery). Afinogenov isn't old.....so I'd have to go with the latter on this one.
Heard a rumor today that Max was going to go play in Russia because nobody in the NHL wants him because hes garbage........can't wait for that to happen.
Um, Afinogenov is a joke. The Sabres were top-five in goals three straight years, so who prevents offensive creativity? Is being "creative" skating parallel to the blue line and knocking you team offsides? Or is being "creative" taking the obstructive penalty by putting their free hand on the opposing player? Vanek has averaged 40 goals a year three straight years, so I'm guessing the offense is OK.
Wow, he makes more money than me......I'd like to think he would considering he is an NHL player. Real smart post you put there. And he led the team in scoring 4 years ago. Wow great times. If I could watch the 05-06 season over and over again, I'd be pretty happy with that too. But what did he get in 08-09? Oh thats right in 48 games he had 6 goals! Wow go get em. Oh and he was a -7 on the season. PATHETIC.
if he's so great, why isnt he on a team? you'd think a player as talented as you claim he is would have been snatched up by a team the first day of free agency, but here we are in September and he's not even on a team.....he's not even in the KHL because they don't want him there either. He's garbage.
Save me the crap with all that KHL bullshit of yours. By the way, the KHL isn't like that much less competitive than the NHL. Some even say it's the best league in the world. What I was trying to say is that he's gonna score 80 or 90 points in the NHL in the near future. Just watch
Well, that and the fact that he overskates the guy with the puck and always causing an offsides, not to mention his constant turnovers in the offensive zone, and his selfishness when he does have the puck (which is what cause him to turn it over in the first place) theres a reason he was a healthy scratch for half the year last year......its because he's a garbage player.

When he played for the Sabres every kid in Buffalo who played hockey had their jersey fully tucked in. Miss this dude.
guilty
@@fadertrack3997 most disappointing player in history
damn, 15 years ago, the golden age of the internet and youtubes come up! i miss when the sabres were at least a playoff team... feels like yesterday i was watching max, time flies
He did anything for Buffalo. He was in his prime. One of the top of my list in this Club !!!!
My favorite . So much talent and so exciting!
0:33 from outer world :)))

He was so underrated
I imagine Max on a line with Mogilny and Lafontain. My mind just blew up.
One of my favourite Russian players,Maxim Afinogenov.
i miss max. sabres need him back
all these good russian players leaving the nhl......... still miss this guy
I love to wear his Jersey to games and some people just gather around and reminisce about the greatness he had!
Please come back the Buffalo Maxi!
and what a goal! it was a beauty he scored against his old teammates.
3:45 . 3:56
This dude have balls. Any inetteligent player would take the left variant to attack but he goes 1o1 and he won. My respect !!!
You need to buy yourself a 4th grade spelling book
Man I miss him. Go Sabres!
Holy sh!t, Max is fun to watch.
wow, i love both of the songs and the player
maxim is the fastest and one of my favorite players........go buffalo
Afinoganov is sick
my favorite russian hockey player :)

David Pastrnak is the new Maxim Afinogenov!
it was pretty awesome
i dont care what anyone says max is a beast
he's going to be a maple leaf appearently
I miss him
If he even put 75% effort in, he would be a hall of famer.
excitin playr to watch. wish he was on the avs.
I agree, he'll probably have a great season next year in the KHL when he signs with Dinamo Minsk.....or maybe CSKA Moscow, or perhaps Ak Bars Kazan. Or one of the other KHL teams.
max is planet turnover, he cant break free anymore and he doesnt finish on his wrist shots
i hope the islanders sign him. just for a year at least. he would fit in pretty well i would think.
1:48 LOL
-The quickest player in the NHL-
missin u max in buffalo
Afinogenov Rules!
Most spectacular player since Pavel bure!
And god does he loves to score!! =D
By the way songs are
My Chemical Romance - Helena
My Chemical Romance - Black Parade.
Mad Max
i believe maxim just needs a change in scenery and alot of people also agree. imo the wild would be a good fit for him in the new system we are running thats alot about skating, and we all know afinogenov is a great skater.
scored the last goal in the 06 07 playoffs... we had a great run. but with dru and briere gone max has a huge role
if he can be healty I think he can score 80 points this season. That would be awesome! Max and Kovy are really good together!
welcome to Atlanta
RIP Rick. Its a loss. Do i need center ice package now?
lol look at 1:04 the tampa defenders mouth just hangs open in amazement.
Yeah he didnt play that well this season, you're right about that. However, he wont be playing for Buffalo next season, I can assure you that. He's gonna have a fresh start with a new team and he's gonna produce again like he did a couple years ago. Mark my words buddy!

I am a SABRES FAN. I am from Buffalo, I even interned for the Sabres. They have plenty of talent left on the team that I actually like. This guy is a complete and total joke. I know because I actually watch him, unlike the idiots that praise him on this video.

Whats the name of the songs?
joe todaro, u can't say that he sucks, when he raped the league a couple years ago, when buffalo was hot. Him and Vanek completely dismantled the leagues goalies in 07

Come back to the NHL maxi!! Come back to Buffalo!!
He's way past his prime
*Sigh* Some people, such as millertimes30, don't understand sarcasm.....even if I meant it....
@Gregory19645 how is he cheap?

Afinogenov is a clone of pavel bure but not as productive.
music SUCKS!!
