SPG Game

I quickly put up a post before the first game that explained the SPG Game.  Unfortunately I did not do a very good job of explaining it.  I will try to do a better job of explaining the game and the objective in this post.  As always , if there are any questions send me an e-mail or ask in the comments.

What is the SPG Game?

"SPG" is an acronym for "Shot", "Penalty" and "Goal".  The object of the game is to predict which Buffalo Sabres player will have the first shot, penalty and goal for each period.

How Does it Work?

You receive one point for every correct prediction you make.  This gives you a potential for nine points in a regulation game, 12 points in an overtime game and 14 points in a shootout.

How Do I Sign Up?

The SPG Game is free to play with a special thanks to Gary Perez for building the platform that drives these statistics.  You can sign up by visiting this page and creating account.  After creating account you will have to visit the game page to make your selections.

Prizes?

There will be prizes available for the winner of each month as well as a grand prize winner at the conclusion of the regular season.  The winner of the grand prize at the end of the season will win a Buffalo Sabres jersey.  We will start out small by giving away a Buffalo Sabres poster to the winner of the October SPG Game.

Mobile Site

Remember that you can visit http://mobile.diebytheblade.com to visit the mobile site and you can comment from wherever you watch the game.  Hope to see you here.

the powerplay doesn't look great

but i’m trying to be patient. It’s early yet and Ruff’s going to figure out who can move the puck around. As long as we’re having this problem of having a lot of powerplays, i’m ok with it. It’s when they’re losing close games and missing opportunities late in games with the powerplay that worries me.

Plays like that are why I’m not concerned about the lack of goal scoring…..they’re going to be hot and cold offensively, we’ve learned that over the years….they can’t afford to be hot and cold defensively and make the playoffs.

If this team is going to grow up, he’s going to have to mature and be a leader. I don’t have good feelings about him, but I hope I’m very, very wrong.

I feel like a broken record, but if they pull these early games out, it will be useful later when the offense is struggling. The reason they missed the playoffs the last two years is they lost these games.

by bluecollarbuffalo on Oct 10, 2009 8:40 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

totally agree

this season, even though it’s only been two games, feels different to me. A lot of shots on goal.

by Kooz on Oct 10, 2009 8:48 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Not only that

But pretty solid defensive play and clutch goaltending in clutch moments. I’ve been a big fan of Miller’s, but he seems to often be one or two saves short of spectacular.

I'm not sure where I like Pominville right now

He frustrates me b/c he has been like a more inconsistent Roy with lower lows (and I think Roy is pretty inconsistent). It’s like we broke him a few years ago. So disappointing.

Kaleta

I’ve never seen someone tick so many people off by missing checks like Kaleta does. Sometimes I think he knows he’s going to miss and goes a little harder just so it looks worse.

Plus

He went hard to the net where he was surt to get hit. That’s the “grit” I want to see. I don’t care about how many scrums there are (as much as I like them) if they will try to make plays like that.

by bluecollarbuffalo on Oct 10, 2009 9:12 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I 100% agree

people put way too much stock in fighting. Toughness is battling in the corners and going hard to the net.

Again

He’s been consistently making those saves this year. If I were Ruff, I’d be more concerned about the defensive breakdowns tonight than the lack of scoring…there seem to be more big saves tonight….or maybe I’m just paying more attention.

by bluecollarbuffalo on Oct 10, 2009 9:18 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Thing is, the forwards are playing better defense than the defensemen.

While backchecking is all fine and dandy, that’s still a problem.

Might be my new favorite Sabre. He looks great along the boards, is sticking his nose in there, and isn’t letting himself be pushed around. I like what I see and if Gerbe wants to be in Buffalo, he should be watching what Kennedy is up to.

GRIER!!

All because of Tim Kennedy.

Risky, risky pass in front of the net with 2 minutes left and a 1 goal lead.

How is education supposed to make me feel smarter? Besides, every time I learn something new, it pushes some old stuff out of my brain. Remember when I took that home winemaking course, and I forgot how to drive?

Why?

Are Vanek Stafford and Roy on the ice w/ 45 seconds left….that is just poor coaching.

No – that was a poor play by Roy. Kennedy line was worn out. You’re not gonna put in the 28 line, and Timmy’s line isn’t a defensive line…

Nice play by Stafford to just ease it out of the zone. They end getting a faceoff but the Sabres made a much needed change.

looks like he is going to keep the puck.

wow

that’s a winning streak

Should we call that a good road win? They limited the chances for Nashville and get a shutout.

there is no such thing as a bad road win

Agreed

Yes. No question. Any road win is a good win, a shutout is even better.

by Afino on Oct 10, 2009 10:28 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

it certainly wasn’t a good road loss, and something was definitely good about it…

Still only one goal but they had over 40 shots. Eventually they have to start scoring right?

Myers 24:56 TOI.

Led both teams.

24:56 TOI – that’s impressive for a 19 year old..
