At the rate that Max is going, I don't see him coming back untill Febuary or March. On 107.7, they keep saying on the sports ticker: "Max Afinegenov is about three weeks away from practicing with the team." I'm tired of hearing that. Because it's not true. This guy is supposed to be one of Buffalo's future superstars, and I can't see it happening now. Nobody knows what the hell is going on with this kid. I think the fans around Buffalo deserve to know what is really going on with him. I just keep thinking of that Lafontaine thing when I think of Max's injury. The Sabres need this guy bad. It would be a trememdous blow to the organization if Max had to retire.
