Afinogenov slew foots/kicks Upshall

[frenchie852]

wow what a queer

[Mootrain22]

lol i couldn't help myself from saying "takedown!" as he tripped him. nice work

[as13754]

i did that once

[spongedom96]

gutless

[cowboyzsuk81]

can't call the flyers dirty now can you?

[eyshaney]

show more of the video like what led to this. i'm sure he hada reason, he wouldn't just do that for the hell of it

[AlexOvie8jr]

who the fuck cares about fans? why do fans care about fans?

[BLSDisciple666]

scumbag,there is no other way to put it,Sabres fans have always been in denial about how much of cheap shots their hockey team is...

[NoHandleBars21]

Wow I did not expect that from Max but upshall is a POS anyways

[MikeFarr44]

go fuck yourself. trying to justify that? have fun not making the playoffs again.

[NoHandleBars21]

How about you go fuck yourself!

I was in no way justifying that.. I was just saying no one really cared because it was UPSHALL.

[Drpepper687]

Lol, 8 out of 10 videos of hockey players getting OWNED on YouTube are of the Flyers getting stomped out in various ways... Everyone in the league HATES the Flyers and Leafs because of their POS fans.

Have fun not making the playoffs? By what, 3 points after back to back conf finals? I hate to burst your bubble, but everyone in the hockey world is still laughing at your 56pt season 2 years ago. Lol, you guys were 11 points from second-to-last place! Worst season of any team in YEARS!

[MeatballYaro2]

HA stupid philthadelphia flyers

worst fans in the league

[seaofwhoas]

yep, that's why everyone's scared to come play us!

[MeatballYaro2]

heh...no

...why would you reply to something from last year? that's about as asinine as booing a guy after he gets up off the ice. maybe just as bad as not knowing a good call from a bad call (we all hate refs, but they don't always make bad calls)

[jdecker19]

Philly fans are the best... Phillies won the world series because the Rays couldn't deal with the heckling and the Phillies were just a better team depth wise. Also, it's all because of passion that the fans boo or cheer certain injuries. It's not sportsmanlike... but you should expect it in Philly... what are the visiting teams going to do.. "get mad at the fans"? please

[hockeyboy6996]

atta boy

[abomb83]

In the end it wasnt cool, but I have never seen a fan base boo injuried players other than philly. Don't be crying the blues when I watched Flyer players concuss 3 different players this season and the fans cheered happily. You want respect(as far as a fan base goes, stop acting disgusting.)

[EvX03]

Lol.. you're so f'n clueless. Just stop posting.

[cjh3545]

u dnt cheer inguries?? lol hit on umberger he had a conncusion u shoudl know ur team mr buffalo fan ur fans have no passion hahah

[Mordecai016]

wat?

[mApLeLeAfs4EVA]

there one of the loudest in the league actually, they make plenty of noise when i go to road games there! and WHY are you talking about a flyers player getting concussed when the Flyers caused 3 yes THREE concussions this season... plus nearly ending the career of Patrice Bergeron, and they rave about it... love there passion

[leafsgirl41]

lol

[dmbcrew36]

scum players like upshall, hartnell, and cote deserve what they get

[Hockeyevan9992]

Scum?

Hitting and fighting in hockey make you scum?

Go watch girls college hockey, then maybe you will feel right at home.

[dmbcrew36]

Did I say that's what make them scum.... damn you're dumb

[Hockeyevan9992]

Well, You said they were scum. And that is what they are mostly known for. Unless you were talking about a personality trait that I don't know about but you know about personally, then I think it's safe to say that you were talking about their hitting and fighting.

So no, you are the dumb one.

Dipshit.

[BLSDisciple666]

This wasnt a hit you ignorant retard,this is the crap the league could do without,if finesse players dont want their asses kicked dont stuff like this,bottom line..

[Hockeyevan9992]

What the hell are you talking about?

[jbizzle2326]

wow how gay to you have to be to kick him

[jagrlookalike68]

lol owned

[SuperHenderson13]

yea and we all know the flyeras r innocent and have never thrown a cheap shot more...

[cowboyzsuk81]

cheap shit

[Mordecai016]

Because the flyers have never cheapshotted anyone ever.

[philly97flyer]

weve actually made the playoffs more than ur joke ass franchise.....hows the golf course?

[marks425]

the fagadelphia gayers finally made the playoffs! amazing.

[Crawford1987]

yea they made the playoffs after missing it last year for first time since 1994...

[philly97flyer]

hey, long time no talk.....enjoying the offseason u fuckin lower class depressed pussies?

[Mordecai016]

Lower class? We don't boo players who've taken injuries. Or boo when a team scores another goal.

Philthidelphia fans have no right to comment on other fan bases class.

[Hockeyevan9992]

So what your saying is, based on your extremely factual comment, that Flyers fans are the only fans in the entire NHL that boo when the other team scores?

Wow.

So what your saying is that when the other team scores, you cheer? Great fans.

Do you want to eliminate checking and fighting from the game too? Or maybe make players not take slap shots, because they could hurt someone.

Pussy.

[Mordecai016]

No, you're a moron. Nobody chears when another team scores, but sabres fans don't boo the other team unless they've cheapshotted someone on our team.

Interesting that you left out the whole booing injured players thing, isn't it? Maybe because you know its true?

[BLSDisciple666]

Nope......I wont leave it out,but when that player that gets booed throws an elbow or knee checks one of the top players ill boo his ass to the ground for being a dirty low life piece of crap...and its usually Sabres that do things like this along with Lightning players...

[deealiganga]

right suck a dck btch 2nd round

[CodeRed1969]

k :)

[afinogenovfan21]

sabres are amazing screw u all

[Tranquil]

Amazingly good at letting their stars go.

[xxandoneballaxx]

No Playoffs and still No Cups for you.

Lets Go Flyers!Fuck the Sabres.

[SabresDangle83]

Your one to talk about no playoffs. How was the basement last year?

[xxandoneballaxx]

I didnt mind,because we got some awesome players because of us being in last place.

So enjoy your golfing and I'll enjoy playoff success.

[SabresDangle83]

You're welcome. ;]

[xxandoneballaxx]

Lol.

[jessicalynn1330]

sabres suck!

flyers are a real team.

and Danny is the man! so is Biron!

thanks for letting them get away...haha!

our team is soooo kickin ass in the playoffs!

[SMSV2008]

Shutup at least the sabres actully have good people who do you guys have Danny Breire

He was 20 times better on Buffalo until he came to your discraseful team

The flyers won't make it past the first round in the playoffs GO SABRES!!!!!!!

[xgp4x]

FUCK THE SABERS!!

[CodeRed1969]

I heard that a majority of people living in Philadelphia are gay.

[Greendaygurl8394]

fuck you!

[booshels]

come to buffalo and say that, buffalo fans are true fans we have been fucked over so many times its not even funny anymore, no goal, wide right and many more... so shut the fuck up

[circlethewagons1]

dont forget the one that went through the side of the net

[peter2simon2112]

sabres fans aren't real fans.... how many of you were fans before 05? just tell me that...

[Frozintoe]

How many Flyers Fans were there in 06-07?

[philly97flyer]

love to see all those banners hanging from the roof of hsbc....oh wait a minute

[coachdent]

You weren't even BORN when the banners went up in Philly, so what are you talking about?

[joeyzaine111]

At least we have them.

[huskies10x10]

hey it is better than having 0. haha

[Frozintoe]

Love seeing the 97 Banner, the one when you were swept by an Inferior team? remember?

[Bonalicious38]

A sweep would entail losing the first 4. The 97 second round matchup of philly/buf went 5, philly winning, and philly got swept hard by detroit in the finals. Since that, Buffalo is 3-1 in playoff series vs philly.

[vinsanity78]

good.

love to see all these cryer fans upset. it does my heart good.

[prepssuck23]

i despise the flyers

[atteOOIE]

Afinogenov must have a black belt in karate, nice kick

[pyrokiller36]

lol haha yea man ...hes the man who could get mad at him?

[plug101]

okay he slew footed him, but there was no kick, the ref pulled him away and he lost his inside edge....quit dramatizing stuff

[blazerhockey2]

holy man

[jak2127]

chris simon? oh no thats right he got dismissed for the same thing - the slew foot. colin campbell doesnt know his ass from his ear

[devilsbore]

Its hard to take criticism by Sabres "fans", after watching them raucously cheer for a player lying still on the ice after an uncalled dirty headshot back in 04. Hits by Spacek, Afinogenov, and Campbell were all dirtier than any Flyers penalty this season save Boulerice, face it, the refs put the buffaslugs over the top in both games, and the last playoffs. The NHL is keen to justify keeping teams in weak markets, and it shows in the ref bias.

[booshels]

fuck you flyers suck

[devilsbore]

Exactly the type of insightful and literate discourse I anticipated. I used to live upstate, you wouldn't believe some of the crap I heard. My all time favorite, to paraphrase, had a sabres "fan" saying "I really like their new red jersey, but why does it have swords on it?"

[Limper31]

What dirty headshot? By whom? I can't recall one, atleast not in 04 lol.

The buffalo sabres are the least cheapshot team ever, we're the one's that usually get screwed.

[politicalguy102]

I can see the "slew footing," but he doesn't try to step on him. Does slew footing deserve a suspension, no. The guys on the ice are in a battle, and its gonna get a little dirty. Was it cheap, yes, a penalty, probably, but not a suspension.

[huskies10x10]

He should be suspended but who cares.  The Sabres will choke like they always do. I still wondering when they are goinh to win their first cup. haha, probably never. They got close in 99 but lost, which the city of Buffalo is great at. keep talking shit and defending this attack Sabres fans, because ib the end it is goinh to be dejavu for the sabres. Loooosers.

[therealbruceblitz]

I have game footage of Iverson, Jordan, LeBron, Wade, Kobe, Baron , Dwight Howard, Shaq, you name him, he is on my channel. I also have mixes with guys like S Kemp, Barkley Wilkins, Jordan, Drexler, Pippen, Shaq, LeBron, Kobe, T-Mac, right down to Kareem and Magic....boxing videos, you name it, I have a playlist that says "game footage" for primarily footage with real in-game voiceovers & a "best videos" playlist feat. my best mixes/tributes...more videos coming!!'

[tyler0896]

Flyers have been suspended every time they did something. Not just suspended but OVERsuspended in almost every case.

But if Afinogenov is going to completely get away with it like that, he's got to have the living dog shit pummeled out of him. It's only fair. And I don't want to hear sabre fans calling for a suspension when his teeth and his intestines are falling out onto the ice, either. Eye for an eye, or at least non-suspension for non-suspension.

[61Afinogenov]

dude shut the fuck up! flyers get suspended for thigns they deserve... they are a dirty ass team. that wasnt even bad like seriosly stop crying you fuckin flyer fan!

[Ovenman17]

Amazing that the Flyers are portrayed as such "cheap", "dirty" players, while things like this continue to go on...

[cowboyzsuk81]

fuk buffalo and the refs

[Briandeli]

Disgusting.

[philly97flyer]

Ok, do you have a point?

[hiphopsicles]

I just want to congratulate the Flyers on winning two cups in the 70s. Having these titles earned before most of you were even alive gives you such tremendous power. You can throw those victories in the face fo anyone who challenges you.

Fucking idiots. If I was from Rome I would spend all day bragging about how we once had an empire!

[Lattanzio57]

We beat the Sabres in one of the Cup finals and as much as I remember, the Sabres have NEVER won the Cup and never will.

The double-standard this year is an embarassment.

[PWNLY1]

You mean the flyers are an embarassment and typical flyers fan living in the past why even watch anymore if thats all you do.

[Lattanzio57]

Living in the past? Do explain.

[philly97flyer]

The Sabres beat the Flyers in the opening round of the 2005 Playoffs, and now they OWN them? Am I missing something?

[boyinshirt]

scottie upshall a goon?

it's nice to know that people think before they speak, or are educated on the game of hockey and its players.

[smyth94Isles4eva]

this guy should get 35 games! didn't he see what happen when simon did it. certain nhl are just don't learn.

[pattyla16]

Simon is a repeat offender. Afinogenov is hardly in the same (low) class.

[smyth94Isles4eva]

that doesn't matter, the intent is still there.

[patashel]

Ahahahahahahahaha! The Flyers fans feel maltreated again. Break out the Midol and Tampax!

[PSU24RULZ]

DUDE FUCK YOU PATASHEL

[patashel]

I think we both know I've heard that plenty of times before.

[mdelrossi1]

wow...no penalty, no suspension...double standard anyone?

[derek919]

Flyers are fucken dirty there shit team now.

[sublimezx79]

Wow you know nothing about hockey or the flyers do you? You guys love hating us, but if you watched any of the incidents from this year from a neutral stance you might see it like the league did, coincidence! Young guys or goons trying to make a squad and keep their spots. Mistakes! This incident....thats malice! There is no place for this crap in and sport!

[Feanaro5503]

LOL. Never being able to win a Cup has really done a number on Sabres fans like keithc71.

Get back out on a ledge mumbling "skate in the crease" and crying like the sick little bitch you obviously are. Cheering on a slewfoot by a Russian pussy... you guys are all class.

[2R3AL]

Wow bro you really needa get a life and notget so offended by people. Im just a bystander to this debate, but you really have your panties up in a bunch. Mayb cause the sabres own philly in the playoffs every year. Im not sure though, but seriously chill out...Man!

[Sallustius]

Actually...

The Flyers have a 5-3 edge in playoff SERIES wins over the Sabres...INCLUDING...a Stanley Cup Finals series win in 74/75.

[2R3AL]

oops, i think i got you guys mixed up with the sens...o well. =)

[keithc71]

lol good for Max I just wish he would have connected to that Flyer GOON's leg, ALL FLYERS and their fans are white trash GOONS plain and simple

[peter2simon2112]

he may be able to skate and deke with the best of him, but i have now lost most of my respect for him... jesus!

[jayfishtown]

disgusting.

[uncio1034]

LOL Afinogenov is such a pussy.

[Pmccrsp]

Living among Buffalo fans - they are totally happy with the new found "courage" of the Sabres. The League needs a small market teamn to do well - they seem to have some talent so the League protects them. Watch Briere's penalty minutes will go up now that he's a Flyer.

[Nevlach]

I don't care what team you cheer for thats a dirty play and probably should have gotten him a small suspention.

[philly97flyer]

How about 95, 97, and 2000? Or what about the 75 finals? Historically, the fact is you don't own us, you don't even come close. The past is the past, it doesnt matter if it was last year, 2 years ago or 32 years ago. So, please, tell me why Flyers fan are so bitter and jealous of your team again?

[philly97flyer]

You Sabres fans, and I use that term loosely(where were you when the team was missing the playoffs?) seem to have a real short memory. Ok, you beat us last year pretty good, but so did pretty much everyone else, we were horrible. And you beat us in the playoffs the year before. Big deal, you act like you have cups to show for it. But how about before that?...

[philly97flyer]

This is no different. A slewfoot is just as dangerous as a cross check, or running a guy from 70 feet away. You are only making yourselves, and your fan base look that much worse when you try and defend your guy trying to injure an opposing player. This has nothing to do with being swept. I have nothing to be bitter about....

[philly97flyer]

Ok, bottom line. If anyone wants to be mature about it, please step in. As a Flyers fan, never did I once defend any suspension one of my guys got. Downie, Boulerice, Jones, Cote. They all deserved what they got. Especially Downie and Boulerice because they were dirty hits with the intent of injury...

[VCUjeff21]

That stupid Fuck needs to be suspended plain and simple.

[hiphopsicles]

How is Lindy Ruff a pussy? Clearly you never saw the man play.

If suspending Afinogenov for a game or two would make you happy, I have no problem with that. He did not try and kick him though, his leg got grabbed.

Still, Max was run all night. If you want to hit a guy cleanly fine, but the player were taking cheap and late runs at him. The amount fo stick work they had going was incredible.

[kyrz212]

Any clear thinking person could see the intent, although its clear Upshall grabbed his leg, so I don't think he tried to kick him. That being said, Max is the typical eastern bloc player; puny, fast, shifty, marginally talented and GUTLESS. The Sabres are a reincarnation of the famed NY Rangers 'Smurfs' that used to beat the Flyers in the 80's. They'll get theirs so enough. Also, Lindy Ruff is a big pussy too. BTW, buffsabre61, just where did you go to school; "sweeped this weekend"?

[scarmando]

If you don't understand how dangerous of a play it is to slew-foot someone, you've clearly never played hockey, or you're just a fucking moron. It's as simple as that. If a Flyer did it, they deserve to get suspended, just like Afineghanov did for this bullshit play.

[kmc12510]

How can Sabres fans defend this? If Randy Jones gets suspended Afinogenov should also. He went after Upshall on purpose. Randy Jones was just trying to finish his check. I like this crap about how he only slew footed him but didn't kick him. Only slew footed him?! I don't care what the Flyers have done this year. That doesn't change the fact that Afinogenov should have been suspended for that one.

[rgreen72]

hiphopsicles,

Why should he get away with it? Any Flyer wouldn't have and would have been suspended. The Flyers went at the Sabres like they went at them. You have to be able to take it both ways. The calls were bad on bothsides and the Flyers deserved to lose. But Maxim was a pussy for the shot.

[MoltenFunk]

wow, lot of flyers fans vs lot of sabres fans. surprise. should be looked at by Campbell but it wont--hes not wearing orange and black.

as for game 2 hiphop--referees not only gave the flyers great PP chances in OT but they gave sabres great 5-on-3s in the 2nd period. horrible officiating both nights. on both sides.

sabres used it more to their advantage. some PP goals, a slew foot, and poor icing call. kick part is questionable. Wish players would start manning up and actually fight.

[InfinitySE]

hip, thats some bullshit, so if a players getting hit all night, its alright to slew foot him, then try to hit him in the face with his skate, YA OK, GTFO

[pyatt9]

i agree with hiphopsicles

[hiphopsicles]

Yes, I'm sure you could have caught up to the puck... You are a joke. The icing call was borderline at worst.

Sure Max, clearly trips him but the Flyers were trying to take runs at him all night. If the Flyers want to play dirty, they should expect the same in return.

Typical Flyer fan BS. They try and bully other teams and when somebody stands up to them they whine and cry to no end.

[sublimezx79]

What are you talking about? We took runs at them? You are an idiot? Did you see the push over Spacek take a cheap run at Upshall? Even in this replay, a slew foot is dirty, but trying to step on a player, thats assault!

At no time did the Flyers "take runs" at "maxi-pad"! That never happened! We played a good hard game and Buffalo took all the runs! You need to open your eyes jack ass!

[GRAW04]

fuck the flyers they suck and even when briere played for the sabres i didn't like him drury the best

[thehype097]

And I wouldn't throw around the flyers being handed the gifts by ref let me just say my son coulda caught up with that puck to cancel the icing.

[thehype097]

First off Im a Sabres fan and if the league wants to set a standard in needs to punish more than Chris Simon and the Flyers. What maxim did was no different that what that moron Simon did the only exception is he missed. And he is lucky that he did. 3. The Flyers fans didn't defend Boularice and you are all making us Sabres fans look bad by defending this Sorry boys Maxim was wrong and stupid and im disappointed a player of his quality would lower himself to something like that.

[Firebird7478]

Had that been a Flyer doing that, they'd gotten a hefty suspension. Amazing how people deny the wrongdoings of their own team. You Sabre fans are a bunch of idiots.

[yuz37]

hefty suspension? like....2?

[dannybrierefan]

WTF! The only reason he Maxim did this is b/c Russians are born LOSERS! He should either get fined or something b/c he does deserve to get away with it. if he was a REAL hockey player he would of fought someone. Hatcher should of KILLED HIM!!

[hiphopsicles]

I've never seen such a whiny fan base. The zebras gift you morons a double minor with 5 minutes to go and a lead and you let the Sabres tie it. They then give you two power plays in OT and you can't score. This after making countless questionable calls against Buffalo and missing a huge nomber of blatent infractions the Flyers were committing in their desperate attempt to get back at Spacek for a clean hit.

You Flyer fans are ridiculous. You whine and cry all the time.

[61Afinogenov]

HAHAH! Yea Max! Hes da Best!! wow, he didnt even kick him, i agree fans are just upset that we swept them this weekend! Ha Go Sabres!! And Maxim!

[LGSABRES]

Yeah, he slew-footed him but he didn't kick him at all. Even on this replay, which is the worst against Max, you can see Upshall CLEARLY grabbing Max's left leg with his right arm. There was no kicking motion.

There won't be any suspension. Sorry Flyer fans.

[philly97flyer]

swept? nah, its 2 games, can bounce back from that...im upset that one of our key players could have been seriously hurt twice

[philly97flyer]

at least someone can look at it with an unbiased opinion

[grizzlyadams69]

lol

[Toastopia]

ooo wow didn't see that during the game, as much as it pains me a crazed sabres fan, he deserves a suspension for that, not 30 games but maybe 10

[Randildo]

glad somebody sees things thru clear eyes

[buffsabre61]

hahaha i love max

i think flyer fans are just upset they got sweeped this weekend

[philly97flyer]

if i was a sabres fan, id be calling for a stanley cup already

[drmoxx]

LOL cryer fans calling for suspensions

[Randildo]

no ejection? suspension? eh. noone was hurt thats cool, and scottie got his revenge last night.

[kornballmyk]

YOURDEAD74 you must be a fishsticks fan for hating on the rangers and flyers but its ok just remember we ACTUALLY still have fans goin to our games .(GO GET RUG BURNS)

[philly97flyer]

dude he had his leg behind upshalls? how can u be that big of a homer? i guess id be bitter too if my city never had a championship? as for the board, it was an unforturnate situation. im not defending jones, but bergeron did turn into it. and id NEVER say atta boy for one of my guys injuring another, thats just fucked dude

[iamlightning]

SIMON! No 30 game suspension?

[jmcclincy]

max just slams him to the ground. he wasnt ever in any danger of getting hurt in that tussle. nothing like boarding bergeron and ending his season...

[philly97flyer]

atta boy max? and were the classless ones? yea atta boy for a play thats so fucking dangerous, maybe ill feel good if my player hurts one of their players....and our fans are assholes, ok buddy

[YOURDEAD74]

I agree with you ogg. And ya philly fans are the second worst homers...the first worst are the ranger fans.

[FalaMerda]

Baby Bure someone needs to take that little dooshes head off.

[dustball3829]

atta boy max!

[oggb4mp3]

He obviously takes him down, but if you watch that in slow motion, Max isn't kicking him, he's trying to keep his balance while Upshall grabbed his foot with his left arm (which is hidden to the camera) and tries to take Max down too.

You Philly fans are a piece of work. You're really grasping at straws trying to prove the NHL is unfair. If you can't see the difference between your players actions and the rest of the NHL, you're a total homer.

[trentzgrrl]

Actually, this wasn't even a Philadelphia broadcast. It was on Canada's TSN. And I don't think most of them are grasping at straws. I'm a hockey fan in general and see a lot of questionable actions that don't get called on/suspensions that don't get handed out for actions similar to the Flyers' players. I'm just saying that there are some teams that can seem to get away with things and some that can't.

[jello44]

Thank you. It's good to see someone with a bit of sense. All people need to do is look at the tape. Gaborik hits someone in a similar fashion to Riley Cote. Only difference is Cote gets 3 games, Gaborik doesn't Scott Walker of the Avs, CROSSCHECKS Dion Phenuf in the face, and doesn't get anything.

All Flyers fans are asking for is similar suspensions for similar plays.

[rjmcleod24]

Amen girl!

[rjmcleod24]

All you had to do was watch the game tonight to see the NHL's very clear bias against the Flyers. Aside from the numerous poor calls, they called an icing tonight with under a minute to play which the Buffalo d-man looked like he was CRAWLING to the puck and they didnt wave it off.. no effort to play the puck, then he practically skated in a circle to wait for the puck to go across the line, and then they called icing.
