Hawerchuk Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 There was no reason to "Boo" Afinogenov last night. Granted, he could never finish many of his chances in a Sabre uniform, was maddly inconsistent but the guy had a very long tenure here and he did compete every night. The player that should have been "booed" relentlessly, is Slava F$&king Kozlov!! He played half assed with Buffalo and completely bad mouthed the Sabres and the city. Fans booing Afino, called out the wrong player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ofiba Posted October 18, 2009 Report Share Posted October 18, 2009 Fans booing Max last night are idiots. Why boo him? Because he wasn't as good a hockey player as you wanted him to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course they have the right to, I don't think anyone is disputing that. People do lots of idiotic things that they have every right to do.

I don't think most fans know enough about the game. Heck, it's the reason Afinogenov still had fans the last two seasons he's been here, despite showing absolutely nothing worth liking about his game.

The reason Max had loyal fans was the fans were ignorant? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inkman Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 The reason Max had loyal fans was the fans were ignorant? Yes. I can not count the number of fanbois I have come across who think Max was the Sabres best player, their favorite player and an eilte NHL player. He was never any of those things. He's a skater, who like Saturday night, is the blind squirrel finding the nut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just accidentally, or do they visit the same interstate rest stop as you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunatley, it's most Sabres fans I meet (in person). One of them called Max "Agenov", deleting two syllables from his name. These types of fans are everywhere, theses types are also the first to boo any former Sabre upon entering the arena. They know nothing about the sport or the players. They don't need to be like us, spending countless hours pontificating over Lindy's use of the backup goalie, but it would be nice if they picked up a program.

The problem is that if you take away these people, there would be 2000 in every arena each night and the league would fold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tis true, having to sit with those fans yelling shoot everytime a player enters the offensive zone is frustrating though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carpandean Posted October 19, 2009 Report Share Posted October 19, 2009 One of them called Max "Agenov", deleting two syllables from his name. Just two? I count four: Max A-give-a-way-a-genov. ;) Side note: I agree with the OP and wish Max all the best in his career. He may not have had the skill that some seem to think, but he played hard and gave us some great highlight reel moments. Glad we let him walk, but I don't wish him anything but the best.

I still don't know which I'd rather deal with, that or the little kid behind me at BU games who kicks me at least 5 times per period. Really, the constant yelling of "SHOOT!" takes about the same mental capacity as the "daddy, I want ice cream" I listen to all game. At least the "SHOOT!" idiots don't kick me constantly. I think I'll go with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
