> [@turbo ls1 ss](#): > > why is afenigenov still on this team. all he does is cough up the puck I understand the argument people have, but he has 4 assists and is one of those players that is a pain for the defense to handle. I notice very often that we have a very good scoreing opportunities **after** Max gets the puck, simply because the defense spends so much energy chasing him. > [@2TurboZ](#): > > I swear to god can someone Ban JustKarter from this thread before I smash his fucking face in.

> [@JayS](#): > > Well, the comeback started when Max went flying in with the puck, circled the boards from about 10 feet in from the blue line to the other blue line dragging defensemen out of position all the way, and hitting Paetch with the pass that he one timed for the goal Mair tipped in. > > That lane wouldn’t have been open without Max’s speed though.

I’m usually the 1st one to say that he needs to be shipped out, but he has had a really good year so far. Everyone needs to just stfu and enjoy watching Max NOT hurting the team. ---

> [@BuickGN](#): > > yeah ok, give it 20 games and see if ur tune changes Sure. I’m still half convinced that he struggled so much last year because of the wrist surgery he had 2 years ago. Just about every player who has had that surgery said it takes about 2 years to fully heal with full range of motion. You take a puck-handling offensman like Max, tie up his wrist a bit, and it’s going to throw off his game for sure. ---

Just about every player who has had that surgery said it takes about 2 years to fully heal with full range of motion. You take a puck-handling offensman like Max, tie up his wrist a bit, and it’s going to throw off his game for sure. Being bounced from line to line and landing on the line with Peters and Mair probably didn’t help much either. ---

> [@Just Karter](#): > > lol@ bandwagon, I’ve said it since his first start when he gave up 4 goals on 6 shots and got pulled. > > People seem to forget that season. And Hasek started off as a backup for 2 teams before he made his name in the NHL. What’s your point? You were the one saying Buffalo should have kept Biron, no? Here are some fun stats to help you shut the fuck up: **For the 2008-2009 season:** **_Age_** Miller- **28** Biron- 31 **_SV%_** Miller- **.935** (4th place) Biron- .840 (36th out of 37, lol) **_GAA_** Miller- **1.74** (2nd place) Biron- 5.00 (36th out of 37, lol) **_Wins_** Miller- **5** (1st) Biron- 0 (Tied for last) **_Shots Against/Saved_** Miller- **138/129** Biron- 94/79 I threw that last one in there so you can’t tell us that Biron is seeing a ton of shots because his team sucks. His teams sucks because of him. 5 goals/game? That’s worse than the goalies in 1920. Biron isn’t even 1 tier below Miller at this point; more like 2 or 3 below. Plus, Miller is 3 years younger. I really like Marty as person, in fact, he was on my softball team this summer when he came back from Philly after they lost to Pitts, but he is not better and never will be better than Miller. Go set yourself on fire or something. I’m sure there will be a ton of people on here who will help you put it out. ---

I’m sure there will be a ton of people on here who will help you put it out. TALKING OUT YOUR ASS LIKE YOU DONT NEED YOUR MOUTH. Check the ice time, birons stats this season are messed up because of a first period lapse of the defense where He got peppered with 14 shots in half the period and gave up 4 goals. Yes Ice time matters to GAA incase you didnt know. Compare last eyars status, you know when Biron had a better percentage, and also carried his team thru the playoffs all the way to the east coast final. You know when Miller was driving his BMW around and the Buffalo fans were making up more excuses as usual when they dont win. If your going to suck at life, do it better than I do.
