B-lo Snow Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Russian Mob in WNY Reading this reminded me of something.... Do you sabre fans remember a couple years ago when Maxim Afinogenov missed an entire season with a concussion. Well, at the time a friend of mine was telling me (no idea where he got it from) that afinogenov went back to russia in the offseason and the russian mob pretty much beat the crap out of him because he would not give them any money, and thats the real reason why he was injured for the year. Then in this article this pops up "Russian mob has tried to extort money from pro hockey players"... i thought it was interesting....
billsfanone Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 Didn't that happen to Mulgilney (sp?) too?
MikeG Posted November 23, 2004 Posted November 23, 2004 it was rumored to have happened to Mogilny... probably did. Happened to him and many others. The players that still had family over there were the players that were targeted. I wouldn't be surprised at all if they tried it with Max.
