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.

 

Only two games left until we give away a Sabres poster.

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.

Is it just me, or is Mair not on there?

I wanted to pick him for some penalties tonight, and I can’t find him.

Because as stated above, this is a typical “trap” game – a game that the Sabres could lose if they’re not careful.

If “57” is somehow, someway a big thing to him, then I say don’t mess with karma. If that’s not the case though, honor karma, and take a more traditional hockey number.

honest question here

is there a trap game when you play 82 of them?

this felt like one – after we got the points. beforehand? i’m still wondering if such a thing exists in the NHL

by dfderie on Oct 30, 2009 10:07 PM EDT reply actions   0 recs

I would say yes

it was a trap game and at least they came away with two points.

i'll take a win

however at this rate, tomorrow we will lose because our losses are 2 weeks apart. then we are smooth sailing after that.

God that was ugly….what was up with the prevent D in the third? You’d think we’ve been burned enough times that we’d know better by now.

Player notes: The General was a monster tonight. Where has that speed been the past two years?

Grier and Hecht complement each other so well…..both were strong on the puck, beast in the corners, physical everywhere. Loved it.

Miller was his usual amazing self.

I have been watching NHL hockey for over 20 years…..and I have never seen an NHL player so good at missing the net as Thomas Vanek is.
