Maxim Afinogenov GWG Overtime Game 5 - Sabres/Rangers

[capspats96]

Not a Sabers fan but I'll never forget watching this

[iwannabfamous1]

Maxim Afinogenov! <3

[Mikeyski4]

0:28

That man holding the cup will be Ryan Miller someday.

[wwefan11222]

Im a die hard San Jose Sharks fan 1st and fore most, but my dream Stanley Cup Final Would be between the Sabres and Sharks. :D

[WheelSnipeParty48]

I miss these jerseys! They need to bring these and those red jerseys back

[ButterKnifeRampage]

@WheelSnipeParty48 You miss the slug jersey? Hahaha you poor soul!

[WheelSnipeParty48]

@ButterKnifeRampage I dont like the ones they have now haha I loved the red ones and these ones

[ButterKnifeRampage]

@WheelSnipeParty48 I don't mind the ones we have now, but I do hate the home alternatives. But I was just referring to the fact that lots of Sabres fans dislike the yellow logo that looks like a buffalo slug.

[WheelSnipeParty48]

@ButterKnifeRampage gotcha I mean if they kept the same color scheme but had a different logo those jerseys would look sick as hell

[Hnrkekeke]

Enroth will give it to you!

[shupester1]

The City of Buffalo deserves a Stanley Cup

[ddritgg]

@shupester1 You got that right.

[e3kryptic]

I'm a Sabres fan, and I honestly think that Buffalo deserves a cup. Miller tries his heart out game in, game out, but some games require more than just great goal tending. They got a few good players during the free agent frenzy, one of them being a hardworking Ville Leino. 2011-2012 LORD STANLEY'S COMING TO BUFFALO!

[pujols37105]

Blues-Sabres Stanley Cup finals 2012! That way, I can still find silver lining even if my Blues lose.

[sportschickk93]

literally gives me the chills. even after watching it 10 times.

[thehardfour]

It pains me to know that we'll NEVER have fans like this in Los Angeles. Buffalo is a great sports town.

[iExoTiiKv]

i miss these days :/

[Javin55]

nice celebration LOL

[Skatehockey26]

greatest commentator alive

[lonerider234]

why did we trade him!!!??

[TAG037]

@lonerider234 Buffalo never traded him. they let his contract run out

[dianaji]

Rick Jeanneret , buffalo sabres and the crowd at 0:09. Just phenomenal

[luvsthewnba]

wow. do i miss this team. had the whole city on its feet and was completely stacked fulla offensive talent

[kaderab99]

What a shot!

[as13754]

that was the same thing that i did in my first ot goal u never forget it

[LAK1NG5rule]

next to Bobby Orr thats the most epic celebration i've ever seen

[TheTigersWingsFan]

*snip. i love max but he can cut out the show boating

[tylerdiesel1]

@TheTigersWingsFan if you love max he my best player ever.

[cupcomingtobuffalo]

@TheTigersWingsFan Seriously? If you score a playoff overtime goal and don't celebrate like a madman, then you don't have a pulse.

[TheTigersWingsFan]

@cupcomingtobuffalo

franzen against preds in 08.

Samuelsson against hawks in 09

helm against hawks in 09

--- they didnt celebrate like a mad man and helm sent the wings to the finals

[dbray1]

@TheTigersWingsFan who cares? i dont see you scoring overtime goals in the NHL...go drink some more hater-aide

[TheTigersWingsFan]

@dbray1 calm down buddy. i said i was a max fan. i just like a conventional celebration. im not hating either

[thrashersdude]

check out his celebraction, halarious

[Hope2009pc]

He actually said that "I didnt know what to do so I dove"...

[kitchensracing]

I hope we see him in a Thrasher uni in the playoffs doing this

[PortuGangsta]

Looks like he can, he's doing amazing with thrashers

[AIRBOURNEROCKERS]

oh man he will be pump he will say does anybody want pancaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaakes lol

[TAG037]

I seriously thought he should've gone to the Senators because he would've fit perfect in Ottawa

[HisNameIsJay]

afinigenov sccoooooOOOOOOOORRRRRRESSSSSS!­!!!!!!

RJ IS A FUCKING BEAST!

[PoliticalPrincess2]

Ugh, I'm so tired of hearing people complain about fairweather fans. Every sport has those. And honestly, I don't know very many. Sabres fans cheer when they lose, cheer louder when they win. I'm not saying we're the best team or anything, but I think our fans are great and I love the sabres!!!!

[goakucan]

imagine the commentator on christmas morning : )

[monox2k]

I GOT AN XBOX THREE SIXTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY­YYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

lol

[judopuns]

NINTENDO SIXTY FOURRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

[ghostsintheforum]

I'm a Habs fan but I say Sabres fans are great. They deserve a cup.

[PortuGangsta]

Yeah i'm a leafs fan, I think they deserve one too. Their fans are awesome.

[Buffalosabskis]

Thanks alot to you guys, I hate when people think we dont know the nhl because we are in the US. Haha we are 2 mins away from Canada. People really think that bridge means so much? I have watched hnic since I was born just like everyone els.

[ButterKnifeRampage]

@ghostsintheforum I'm a buffalo fan, and I'm going to study at McGill... I hope Habs fans are great too :D

[GTkennethxD]

GO THRASHERS! Welcome to the ATL Max!

[Mynamesbob8]

Yeah you won't be saying that when he has like 5 goals by the All star break and is like -20 on the plus minus ratio

[stefantheicewarrior]

@Mynamesbob8

Check the stats sheet. 8 G, 11 A, +3, 18 games in.

[Mynamesbob8]

Don't worry. You'll see for yourself soon enough. Max was with the sabres his entire career up until the ATL trade so I would think I'd know a thing or two about how streaky he is and will be. kthx

[stefantheicewarrior]

@Mynamesbob8

um... what trade?

He was a free agent signing. Check that facts.

[Mynamesbob8]

ah my bad forgot about that. Got him confused with the Danny Paille trade. Still, doesn't change the point of what I said.

[habsfan9202]

only if rick jeannaret was the commentator of habs' matches LOL the canadiens will be the greatest team with the greatest commentator ! GO HABS GO ! and Go R.J ! sabres suck ;)

[Mynamesbob8]

lol last time I checked sabres lead the NE division. suck on that habs fans.

[IlyaKovalchuk71]

Afinogenov is now in Atlanta Thrashers! :D

[GTkennethxD]

Yeahh!

[IlyaKovalchuk71]

SCOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORRS! :D

[buignerry]

Afi is simply just GREAT.

I really hope his gonna get a good contract he deserve it.

[BiteVick]

It's funny I checked you have tickets... A lot... So stfu. OH YEA, we do too. I have to wait a few months till more tickets clear up.

[BiteVick]

Oh, and Montreal fans, try to win a cup THIS century and not when your guys didn't wear helmets.

[taker6865]

when was your last one?

Anyways, we dont have shit to take from YOU :) kthx

we sell out our games weeks before they actually happen... everyone of em :)

[BiteVick]

Baho, we sold out our tickets in the playoffs and season since the lockout. So before you start telling Sabres fans to get facts straight, get your OWN facts straight. Now go do riots like you Montreal Canadien fans always do.

[kurcobolja]

I'm sorry, 5-on-4 powerplay in Playoff?

[baho007]

That's right! they always play 4-4 in regular season OT games since 1999-2000 season but never in the playoffs. Let me guess: first time you watch an NHL playoff game in OT?

[vene777]

Drury, Briere, Campbell, Spacek all gone. Not much left.

[spooninspoon]

Yeah... cause Tom Golisano is a cheap bastard who knowes jack shit about the game

[GoHabs13]

I have a nick name for Afinogenov

Its in againov

[TriggermanEst91]

Ok,

hes "Agettin" out of Buffalo....

free agency....

longest tenured sabre to date...

[cmpr94]

@GoHabs13 i've got one to AFINEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ASPx360]

uh flyers?

[nyyr2gr8]

clearly, none of you guys have ever watched a game at MSG.. the crowd that you see here in this game, is almost identical to a regular season game at the garden.. it is absolutely magical in that building, hence the reason it has been dubbed "The World's Most Famous Arena"!!

[ASPx360]

MSG is the most hyped up overrated building ever created. lol your fucking pathetic

[nyyr2gr8]

hahahahahahahaha must be a lowly flyers fan.. jealous much of one of the greatest buildings in hockey??

[EvX03]

Magical building? Lmfao? MSG is a complete pile of shit. I've been to tons of games there, it's so crappy and outdated.

[nyyr2gr8]

ignorance

[SRRNYRNYM9486]

MSG is being renovated

[SRRNYRNYM9486]

MSG would be like HSBC if there werent all the fuckin suits getting season tickets

[baho007]

Even though MSG is widely considered "The Mecque" of sports arenas, nothing compares to the Bell Centre in Montreal. Watching a hockey game there is better than any other arena in the world and the fans are the noisiest.

[spooninspoon]

Montreal is the NY Yankees of hockey, so I would hope watching the Canadiens play a (homegame) at Bell Centre would have to be pretty cool. Although Buffalo hosted the largest attendance rating for any hockey game ever held in the history of the NHL.

[spooninspoon]

Buffalo has the greatest diehard fanbase in hockey. I mean look at this game. Sold out,Thousands of fans standing outside the arena. You would think we just won the Cup. I've watched alot of stanley cup Championships and the fan celebration does not even come close to this magnitude. Yet it was all downhill after that year. Horrible management made us the farm team for the entire NHL.

[indierocker12291]

Buffalo has a great turnout for such a small area. kinda reminds me of Pittsburgh in a sense

[spooninspoon]

Yeah, Pittsburgh is a great hockey town as well.

[Demondog851]

Yea Pittsburgh is same with people outside i belive i heard Mario say 10,000 outside on the news or after they won cup talking about the fans

btw gota feel bad for King Henrik 2 years in a row second round game five OT goals let up that lost series.

[baho007]

Correction: Montreal Canadiens Habs have the greatest diehard fanbase in hockey. Sold out game you say? Big deal! It's the playoffs, it damn well better be sold out!!! Buffalo barely has enough spectators during the regular season to fill half of their arena and most of the tickets at HSBC arena are sold to opposing team supporters. Last time Montreal played in Buffalo, half your arena was filled with Canadiens fans and it was sold out thanks to us. Go figure! Get your facts right buddy.

[spooninspoon]

Well duh,you have a great fanbase cause your a big-market team. You won like 30? stanley cups within a 100 years and have been around since the begining of the NHL. Your team gets more fan recognition cause you guys invented the sport to begin with!.The Sabres have only been around since 1970 and we haven't won a cup. So YOU go figure! who has more to fight for "Buddy". Unlike your Canadiens we aren't expected to win the cup every year. Go Sabres!

[haiefan93]

best announcer !!

[neronman]

der Kommentator freut sich wenigstens!

[rhollfelder26]

this is my favorite playoff moment of all time........ too bad max might be gone this year

[mjpsabres]

watching this makes u wanna skiit all over

[darcyUSA21]

Jeanneret is great never forget this comeback!

[Xaemius]

lmao this announcer is always like "scooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeesssss"

[bamz0r19]

Oh you're 15... I get it now.

[bamz0r19]

Not before I saw this video, I watch my own team (Oilers) and their broadcast, don't get to hear other teams broadcasters very often.

[rangersuk142623]

still if ur a hockey fan u no who jenerette

[bamz0r19]

Ok bud, obviously your logic is flawed, not every hockey fan knows all announcers names off by heart.

[rangersuk142623]

i dont no them all juss the good ones

[rangersuk142623]

love the fans goin razy outside buffalo has great fans

[hitler2723]

i agree

[abdullahithebest]

greats fans huh then where were they in 2003 when the team was bankrupt an needed the fans to fill up well no body came those are all bandwagoners

[leafsrule16]

i see what your saying .. but i dont go to leafs games anymore. there just not exciting, i still pop in on the odd one but i dont enjoy the games like i used to, theres just no skill in the leafs roster honestly.

[ikemavent]

You mean the fans stopped supporting the team when it was revealed that the owner was one of the biggest crooks in modern american history?

what a bunch of fair weather pansies

[TheEqualist]

Had nothing to do with fanbase. The franchise was run by halfwits.

[hitler2723]

AFINOGENNNNOVVVVVVV SCORESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS­SS gotta love Rick Jenerete

[boomfang]

I am a Montreal canadiens fan, BUT GOD I LOVE THE SABRES TOO !!!

[ACParker13]

i remember this little run they had going.. im not a sabres fan but i dam sure respect theyre commitment.

i like a lot of the guys on their roster too.. theyre moving in the right direction

[sabresfan26vanek]

best hockey game i will ever watch

[mrbrownstone19]

great goal, great call. I think Max needs a trade. This is one moment I will remember for ever though.

[Bkurnik91]

The best annoucer there is

[sabres10910]

lol me2

[mortonfiredept]

still makes me smile every time i see it

[whyhellothere1234567]

best day of my life

[GodzillaGlenn]

That guy had (has?) so much unrealized potential.

[joshuajarzab08]

still gives me shivers down my spine lol

[bamz0r19]

hahaha what the fuck is wrong with this announcer?

[Acenorthpaw]

Nothing. Rick Jeanneret is the best.

[rangersuk142623]

sum1 apparently doesnt watch hockey

[bamz0r19]

Ok? I've been watching hockey for 15 years thx.

[rangersuk142623]

n u never heard jeanerette?

[slicinice4]

His celebration is SWEET.

[flyersfan1218]

what ever happened to maxim afinogenov? he sucks now, he was so good 2 years ago!

[oryPhtraD]

he got injured

[AvEnGeD7FoLd9]

Dude he sucked befor he got injured.

Don't get me wrong I love Maxim, but he has sucked big time this year.

[westsenecas]

i was outside at that game party in the plaza and it was crazy i couldnt hear anything it was amazing

[meatwad61]

me too!

[dbray1]

i was at the game. i dropped my nachos all over my pants because i went from a sitting position to around three feet in the air. i almost went deaf as well, ive never heard HSBC so loud

[dadeeman10]

I swear 2 god this commentater is so annoying but funny in a way.

[Hawks9718]

I fucking love the Buffalo play by play guy.. Not better then Pat Foley.. But second best!

[captinawsome61]

i almost shit my pants when he scored that! i love afinogenov..i have 3 jerseys of him lol!

[phommahaxay]

When they score, and Afinogenov dives on the ice, makes me want to jump for joy and dive myself.

[xxzubrusxx1521]

damn i LOVE THIS VIDEO.. its so exciting.. we need another moment like this .. LETS GO BUFFALO!

[Sabresfan81]

that goal was awsome

[FuturePBABowler]

Don't look so happy Ryan Miller.

[sharksfan702]

with a shot.....scooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee haha :)

[Vultic]

i liked the part where there was hockey

[mrrock1970]

win a cup sabres no cups in buffalo

[phommahaxay]

I love how he celebrates by diving onto the ice.

[domthearcher]

IN OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVER TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­IIIIIIIIIIIIIIME lol what a commentator

[SMSV2008]

it gives me chills when i see this

go max

[gwinner21]

He has one of the greatest names in hockey

[sabres10910]

lol im 14 all i want is a cup and a bowl lol

[sexycooljulesverne]

I hate rick jeanneret, but this call is epic.

[ovechkin100]

you're stupid then

[handicappedonkey]

sexycooljules how do u think he has an epic call and hate him

[mrbrownstone19]

Dude, Jeanneret dominates all commentators. See he's good because he's always up on the play, he never trails off (check VS., they're awful at hockey games) and how can you not love his call "scooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­res!!!!" and of course classics such as "lalalalalala Lafontaine". Fact is you have no valid reason to hate Jeanneret, "hate him" is not a valid reason.

[Mynamesbob8]

lights your wrong about nolan pratt he was one of our best d-men last season rofl put weber back in rochester and keep pratt where he is tbh

[joshuajarzab08]

aww thats my cousent

[madrid550]

Buffalo cant be stopped...can't wait for that championship throw down party...

[Hattrick4419]

FUCK THE RANGERS LMAO

[Mileck64]

God I miss the playoffs...cant wait until next fall for the next Sabres season. I absolutely love them

[eazyd10]

nice call all of u BANDWAGON JUMPING sabres fans

[handicappedonkey]

new york city isnt even a hockeytown so fuck off

[LightsOnEngineer]

What needs to be done for next year:

Defense:

Keep Weber, Sekera, Teppo, Spacek, Lydman, Tallinder

Dump Kalinin, Pratt

Offense: resign all, keep MacArthur up here

Goaltending: RESIGN MILLER!!!!!

[Renegen1]

They have a good group of guys, next year they'll make the playoffs and probably go far. I mean who thought Roy and Pominville could be 80 point players. They have the same core group of defensemen (each from a different country!), they have Miller and they'll have 2 scoring lines if not more. They'll be back. Yeah they lost 2 elite centermen but the kids are getting better.

[blackrose42003]

I am still the biggest sabres fan. AFINOGENOV is the best, and the cup is coming to Buffalo

[stevenadams4]

I agree with the comment below me

[letsgobuffalo9]

Its funny how many people were "diehard fans" when the sabres were doing well! What the hell happend this year? (bandwagoners)

[SabresFan6130]

its actually still the same, the sabres sold out every game this year except one and that was a toronto game way earlier in the year. there are still fans of the sabres, but i guess they dont want to express their "die hard" side since there is nothing to cheer about.

[burner087]

I really miss the '05-06 and the '06-07 teams. :(

[letsgobuffalo9]

I love when he slid!!ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

[billzspikez51]

yeah back when the sabres were good and fun to watch but now their boring and bad

[hockeyfreak1726]

spikes isnt even on the bills no bud.. and sabres r amazing better that who ever u like

[t35light]

those where the good days before everything to fucked up

[robtk14]

Yup, the good ol days where the buffalo bandwagon was at its peak. Now it's back to where it was

[iwannabfamous1]

Rick Jeanneret is the best hockey announcer ever. Maxim Afinogenov is awesome and 1 of the sexiest hot hockey players on earth.

[rennob94]

indeed...

[haitzyice]

its a fact that rick jeanneret is the voice of hockey. one of the best announcing voices ever.

gotta love him

[ubnely18]

false, doc emerick is the voice of hockey. but god i can watch this video over and over just so see the rangers lose

[coachdent]

Great highlight and great night! Amazing atmosphere inside and outside the building. Over 10,000 fans outside the building in the "Party on the Plaza".  Giant screen tvs out there and the fans going apebleep! Very memorable moment.

[k17dudeP]

and probably half of em were bandwagoners

[wuteveritakes06]

I still hate buffalo, but i love maxim afinogenov. He is for a fact an amazing player. Why did he have to NOT leave Buffalo unlike some of the annoying players?

No offense guys. Unless your drunk and typing. then, WOW.

Nice shot.

[FightsFan748]

it should be in minnesota, we have 307 consecutive sell outs!

[wuteveritakes06]

Yeah, I dont see how its possible but it is. Yours ISNT the loudest house? Then I can agree to the terms that Canes fans are also partially annoying.. thanks alot for ruining my self esteem. lol

[FightsFan748]

lol its np, im just doing my job

True ours isnt the loudest, but i was talkin about fan attendance.

[SachuBachu]

Buffalo should be in the new Hockeytown USA. They had over 60k+ for a hockey game. Enuff said.

[Erestoriel]

wow, what noise!

[FightsFan748]

i like this announcers woice

[julessabourin17]

yeaa same

[mobster22091]

stanley cup we e=want u

[brando11223]

shut up greeeeeg

[greeeeegg]

oooooooovvvvvvvvvvverrrrrrrrrr­rrrrrrrrtiiiime
