[dianaji]

You would think she made a mistake, but she repeats it the second time.

[hawksfan212a]

[AlexOvie8jr]

[DustyDinkleman26]

[chechak01]

Ive heard worse pronunciantions like Gary Thorne on NHL 10 Afinojenov

[Bauerfan501]

Afine GONE off. o_o; There's... a gen in there. I would've accepted gen as in generation, but that's adding a whole new vowel in there. |: Unacceptable.

[0V3CHKiN]

I've heard worse.

[nitwit44]

she pronounced one syllable wrong. big deal. 

[DrQuailMan]

AfinahgAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHnov

[19shanedoan19]

Espn is all about golf now....

[sakke113]

[coltino99]

this is why ESPN should not do hockey!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[AdamRockwood11]

nice quality.

[salmon020]

fuck espn

[Sabresfan4328]

and I thought Versus(Versucks) was bad

[SaltyChuck]

I don't care if his last couple of seasons weren't spectacular, still one of my favorite players ever. MAXIM AHFINOGAWNNNOFF.

[goblew14]

Thats espn for you giving hockey 5 seconds and not knowing their names

[tonyfruits]

they still show that much hockey? i thought they completley forgot that the sport even exits. oh well, i have the nhl network now anyway. i might watch sportscenter once in a while to see ochocincos tweets.

[andykung10]

i dont care....its hard to pronounce..give her a break guys

[MrNumberNine9]

@andykung10 it's not even hard..

[hocky295]

hahah and AfinoGAWNEov

[Mynamesbob8]

afinoGAWNAFF. -.-

[patrickhockley]

whats wrong with this pronounciation???

[July222009Eclipse]

its not afinogawnaff is afinoGENOV, plus she pronounced Maxim wrong, its max-im where u pronouce the x in max.

[Csp91]

No I'll give her some credit she came close.

[kevster422]

I wish he was gone..but he was recently spotted at my friends moms work( she works at a restaurant) with the rest of the team... =[ god damnit. hopefully it was his goodbye meal :D!

[devilzfan1]

uh, that wasnt such a bad pronunciation.

[jdjdjdjd3330]

did anyone else notice how badly that Atlanta defenseman played that 2 on 1. he just stood there and did not move.

[danglez18]

he was playing pass all the way

[jdjdjdjd3330]

yeah but you cant give the puck carrier that much room

[danglez18]

oh hell ya i know looks like he was respecting max's speed and just played it awfully didnt cut down angles or nuttin

[Mogilny892k5]

hes in the show youre not

[jdjdjdjd3330]

dude, he still played it wrong. i dont know what the fuck "show" you're talking about, but you dont stay stationary on a 2 on 1, it needs to be played better than that. just ask kimmo timonen.

[ridgemeadowsmoose]

it actually isnt that bad ve hear way worse than that

[camouellette]

well he should be called that cuz he sucks now. He needs a change of scenery and I think he can still score 20 goals with a different team

[henryunderwood]

im sorry but women shouldnt cover hockey games hhaha

[ShmuckyPuppy]

It's ESPN. They have no fucking clue when it comes to hockey.

[CaptainMazda]

@henryunderwood

The TSN and Sportsnet ladies do a good job. Rest of their announcers are plugs.

[crunchnut21]

@henryunderwood just like sarah palin should never go to one

[mikeyABI]

@henryunderwood woman shouldnt be involved with espn period. wanna hear a joke? the wnba

[BlackSpider1818]

its not that bad they usd to say a -fin-o-gene-ov

[AczieFB]

"afinogonov gets the puck on it 2 on 1 and afinogonov shoot the wrister in for the goal" wtf

[SouthP17CD]

LoL you would think that they would be prepped on how to say people's names before they actually show the highlights

[Spammmz]

some actual hockey announcers, cant pronounce his name lol

[kfizzle441]

yeah lol, some of the american ones say Max-im like the magazine instead of max-eem

[RiverKingsRock]

i cant pronounce half of their names.lol luckily everyone on my fav team has pronounceable names..still..yo should probably learn both teams names before you anounce for them..kinda dumb

[bfsab61]

afinogonov

[sulkoma]

It's American, what can you expect? They can't even pronounce Iraq correctly & they've gone and started a war with that country.

[goblew14]

thats why espn doesnt do hockey anymore because they cant even pronounce their names right

[abdullahithebest]

irs espn wat do you expect

[abdullahithebest]

hahahahahahah

[ptwn18plyer]

nice goal AfineGANov, haha

[balagar2]

dumb ass

[colin82793]

who let her out of the kitchen? it's a name, not a spice. sorry if that offended anyone.

[crx10]

WHAT A DUMB BITCH!

[WidowmakerXLS]

I like how all you sit here and act like you could pronounce the names of every athlete in every sport on the fly...

That's why most of you work at McDonalds...

[israeli4life11]

Wow, shes horrible. xD

I can pronounce it, I know Russian.

[wittyreparte]

Horray for you?

[Moneymachine99]

Lol she said maxsiims a-fin-a-gone-ov... xD

[0zachNJDparise9]

i like how she acts like she knows his pronunciation..i would fire her ass right then and there

[0zachNJDparise9]

i would fire her ass right then and there

[lucic1796]

haha afeni -GONOV haha obviously shes never done hockey before

[legofreak4]

Woman should not have anything to do with ESPN.

[sodmggamer]

geez

[billay1828]

i can understand when some names are mispronounced, but i hate it when they mess up in this way. its afinoGENov not afingoGONov. honestly, thats why you can count how many women anchors there are on one hand

[jdjdjdjd3330]

haha she even pronounced his first name wrong i think. correct me if im wrong, isnt it prounounced macks-eem?

[DEXXXMONEY]

yea the first names mispronounced 2 lol

[ChrisMiran]

sigh..why do women commentate sports..why

[yadabinagain]

That wasn't even that bad I don't think.. Not worth the time it took to put on youtube anyways.

[wardzig1993]

i agree

[FlyerFan9]

That was that bad actually. Listen to Don Cherry try to pronounce some European names. That's pathetic. He struggles with North American names enough..

[vermette910]

lol i hate it when people pronounce hockey players names wrong

[LandonShirley01]

lol i think she also pronounced (N-obaw-kov) (Naaa-bawwkov)

[sarah883]

fuckin retard.

[marian18hossafan]

normal person pernunciation

afinogenov(a-fin-a-gan-ov)

commentatorpernunciation

afinogenov(a-fi-a-gon-uv)

[NYRRRRRRR]

hahahah bitch your a whore

[paintballperson8]

wow i think that the sabres would trade that guy for a bag of pucks right now

[MattSwannie60]

afinogenov is getting better since after the scratch. but he needs to be more agressive

[joshuajarzab08]

yep he is but they need to bench other players to make a point except him ummmmm maby like roy or pomminville

[MattSwannie60]

roy and pomminville r good

[joshuajarzab08]

i no but ruff said that he benches afinogenov to make a point that he will bench good players

[john3908]

dude there is NO way they are going to trade him. He is a cheap player. and plus Buffalo can't pay for his contract at the moment. lol,

[lilbuddy99]

haha

[lowndessooner]

Duh, that's the point.

Hockey is supposedly a big-time sport, but it's really not in the US. It might be big in the North though.

It would be worth bashing her if she mispronounced Tiger Woods or something...not some hockey player that hardly anyone would recognize as it is.

I'm not saying hockey is a bad sport. It's just not HUGE like some other sports. I played soccer when I was younger. I hate it when people bash the sport, but I know it's not huge compared to some of the others.

[mark2125275]

LOL FIRST OF ALL Maxim afinogenov is an all star-player, not that you would know because you dont watch hockey apparently. Second of all its her JOB to know these things. Thirdly, soccers the most popular sport in the world so i dont know what ur talking about..... with all due respect

[Benporter18]

lowndessooner your an idiot first how do you say soccer isn't huge when it's the most popular and most played sport in the world and second hockey is way better than football,baseball,basket ball and golf combined

[lowndessooner]

It's hockey...and that is also the first time i've ever seen that name before. Who can blame her? I'd probably say the same thing.

[dxmin3r]

thats the first time you've seen that name before?..clearly you dont watch hockey

[domcho101]

"Horrible video quality, worst on youtube"

[thesavatts]

Tu sei una machiette che bestia , make me pie u dirty animal.(SPIT)

[NYRRRRRRR]

stupid bitch. go make me a pie NOW!

[daymony]

worst QUALITY ever

[epicepter]

what a stupid bitch. bitches done kno nothin bout sports. go make me a sandwich bitch.

[giannitodaro]

lmao!

[sabrefan3291]

noob

[drumsolo99]

wow

[AvEnGeD7FoLd9]

Matchim Afinogonov????

Wow this lady sucks!

[Crawford1987]

i know this will sound sexist, but women should not be involved involved in broadcasting, especially for hockey. It's kind of like comedy...most women comedians suck really bad.

[SugarcultedNirvana]

It doesn't sound sexist. It is sexist.

[prastakvascha]

ESPN sucks in hockey ^^^^

[GuSxMan666]

i love bob cole and harry o'neil's announcing, they know every player on the ice!

[DeepGrey]

Actually his name is Harry Neale.

[thefirefighter]

huh cant they get it right

[cne08]

Did she say Affinigana?

[supershadowflame]

afinnagonoff

[thuunderfan2345]

there was this one lady she said teadore

[Trascer]

IT´S AFINOGÉNOV!... monkey!

[mikegawne]

the people on vs are the worst when there is a ffight they go eirther to stats or commercial

[aviator147]

VERSUS SUCKS, i still wish i had it though cuz alot of playoff games are on that shit channel

[hockeytard3650]

on nhl 08, they call max " maxim afinojaanof" but this was worse lol

[twig187]

my all time fave was back in 98 when Anders Erickson played for the wings and some guy on FOX (yeah, the beginning of the end for the NHL) kept calling him Eric Anderson. i kept thinking, "Will someone PLEASE correct this fool!"

[NBertuzzi]

hhahahha that makes me laugh, before when i didnt no maxium like in his rokkie year i called him afginstan and when we played ea sports hockey everyone wanted afginstan cause he was so fast, it was funny.

[LilNick12423]

its not that bad :|

[Ballsyflix]

afinagonov?

[Sabresfan4328]

Damn people on ESPN and VS.

[NHLfreak87]

its not that horrible

[loot91]

Agreed freak, I've heard worse on EA's NHL 07. Considering she probably had never seen/heard the name until she read it off the prompter at that moment, it wasn't all that bad.

[ilovemiller]

...

i have no words to explain how max would feel if he heard this woman say his name.

[Buffalove61]

haha. thats how my gramma trys to say afinogenov. but shes gotten better

[leesh701]

She should be fired.

[RaymondA724]

I agree with NHL Freak. This clip looked like it was from the early 2000's, so Im sure by now she knows how to pronounce Maxim's name. Honestly, that gaffe is nothing a producer explaining it during a commercial break can't cure.
