Wgrz's Adam Bengini reports that Lindy has benched Afinogenov in practice today because of his play in last night's game against the Thrashers. He is expected to be in the lineup tomorrow night when the Sabres take on the Capitals at the HSBC Arena

Re: Lindy benches Afinogenov in practice
Ruff just does not see eye to eye with skill players.
If he had his way the entire team would be Gaustad and Paille clones
BTW I was told by one of these 'hockey experts' that one of the reasons Ruff opted to start last season with Paile over Stafford because Paille is a penatly killer
Paille was on the pk unit for 6 seconds vs the Thrashers

Well thats stupid. Why would you bench a player at practice. All that means is he wont be any less prepared tomarrow than he was yesturday.

Re: Lindy benches Afinogenov in practice
Afinogenov is at the level where it's not going to hurt his game capabilities if he misses one practice. Lindy did this to send him a message just as he's done it before. I certainly trust Lindy's ability to get what he wants out of his skill players.N.C. STATE WOLFPACK

He does respond well to being benched. Remember during the playoffs he was benched and then the next game he had the game winning goal.

Originally posted by gr8slayerNo.... I remember someone at the game telling me that Afinogenov is one of the best in the NHL when he has the puck. I find it odd that he's being benched if he truly is one of the best
He is the most exciting player in the NHL not one of the best. Lindy doesnt like him because he doesnt pass the puck and gets turnovers. He can make great plays sometimes but other times he can commit a horrible turnover.
