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.

Brutal….that’s not a good 1st period at all, and goes back to the whole “giving up a goal in the last minute” trend that plaqued us last year.

now you
hit the nail on the head they are only looking to call things on us

Nathan, that play that led to the Tampa 2 on 1 is why you’re the 8th defenseman.

why are you surprised?
we seem to do this at least a couple times a year since the lockout. Nice to have a good trend for once

MYERS!!!
Rookie of the Year? Possibly!

He’s sure making a good case for it right now – but there was a pretty decent rookie on the other team tonight too.

got to be the front runner
good plus minus, a couple goals, a shootout winner. Lead his team in ice time at least once so far this year.
