Interessantes Interview mit Max:
ZitatAlles anzeigenQ: For Buffalo, the season also ended up unsuccessful --- the team didn't end up making the playoffs after all.
A: There was simply too much intrigue, and no real "game". There were good stretches during the season, but no real stability.
Q: What intrigue do you have in mind?
A: I think there was quite a bit (smiles). I an only speak for myself. The atmosphere was so-so.
It may be just my perspective, but I didn't feel well. It was too tense.Q: Difficult relations with the coach led you to ask for a trade. Why didn't it happen?
A: I asked for it. But they didn't want to trade me at all, and at the same time didn't let me play.
As a result, neither did I help them, nor did they get anything for me. Nothing for me or the fans.
Fortunately, I am now a free agent, and can play wherever I want.Q: Rally, this wasn't the first year when there were rumors that Afinogenov may change clubs..
A: There weren't too many teams I wasn't traded too -- in rumors. But the team owner one came
by me and told me: whatever you may wish, I am not trading you, and that's all.Q: Why?
A: He told me that he liked me (smiles), and what the coach does --- is none of his business.
So... Can't be sure whether to be happy or disappointed of that.Q: Didn't you have a discussion with the coach?
A: Yes, but they were constantly some sorts of lies, endless promises from him. But in the end, nothing was happening. And because of that, our relations soured completely, to the pointed we didn't even speak to each other... Even this sort of thing happens.
1.Interessant finde ich, dass Afinogenov trotz der Bitte eines Trades bei Tom Golisano abgeblitzt ist, va. da der Besitzer der Sabres als Pfennigfuchser bekannt ist.
2. Ruff mag man mögen oder nicht, aber dass der Coach einen Intrigantenstadl in seiner Mannschaft zulässt, kann ich mir irgendwie nicht vorstellen.
