shrader Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Good post. Anyone who calls Ruff's game "a bum" has no idea what their talking about. He was a very solid grinder. As for Max, he was awesome tonight. I know we won't see this kind of Max every night because honestly, if we did, he'd be near a all-star. He was flying down he ice. He was helping out on defense. He was back checking. He was fighting on the boards. He was creating and causing trouble for Montreal. Afinogenov played one of his best games in his career last night for Buffalo. I know it's only a game but i will give the guy credit where it's due. The Roy, Paille, Max line was my favorite to watch and each time they were on the ice, i thought we might score. He's done this before though. He responds to criticism and shows up and plays a very strong game, only to quickly revert back to old form a game or two after that. Now comes the important part where we see whether or not he can sustain this kind of play. He's playing for a contract now, so hopefully he continues like he did last night.

I cannot believe you said that... You do realize that he is going to impress through the rest of the year, carry us through the playoffs, and after skating the rink with the Cup, we will have to debate whether or not to extend him. Oh, boy. :wallbash Max certainly did play a hell of a game. I'm pulling for more of that effort -- keep it up Max!

He's still playing for a contract somewhere in this league though.
NowDoYouBelieve Posted March 5, 2009 Report Posted March 5, 2009 Great post! I Like Ruff the Coach but he is Wrong on Max! As for his play as a NHl'er....he was a bum! I suppose when Gaustad retires, you'll size up his less than stellar career stats and label him a bum too...
