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

Just in time
Almost forgot about SPG.
Doesn’t seem like Phoenix had to give a big effort last night. Sadly, I’m predicting a soft 1st period for the Sabres.
Let's hope not.
5 day break… played the least games of the entire league… playing at home… there’s NO excuse for playing soft first period. None whatsoever.
Not even this being a February game.
Oh yeah – hi all! :-) Time for us to clean out that zero in the W column.
Evening Everyone
I think they have to come out flying tonight. The Coyotes have every reason to be flat. They played last night, they beat the Stanley Cup Champions, they are playing their backup goalie and they are 2-0 at this point. The Sabres have to come out and take this game.

I'll call it "tentative"
They haven’t played much against this team, or this season.
Glad Miller hasn’t faced much either. Let’s talk with 5 minutes left in the second period.
Man, Myers might come along just fine for us huh?

not sure if this means anything,
but I think of all the teams minus the original six,
Buffalo has the ugliest regular uniforms and the best throwback.
And Phoenix has the nicest regular unis and the ugliest throwback.
That comment begs a question....
What’s so nice about the Coyotes “regular” uniforms? I mean, compared to the Sabres? I kinda thought that was the slug’s yonger brother on their uniforms.
it's a howling coyote. I think it's awesome.
Ours is like a Bills reject logo that we highlighted yellow.

www.diebytheblade.com - An SB nation destination for Sabres fans everywhere
To be honest, the biggest complaint w/ the Sabres for two years now is they play too fast and loose. They need to learn early in the season to win low scoring close games…if that means watching some frustratingly boring games they lose early in the season, so be it, as long as it pays off. If they can figure that out, we won’t be sweating out the last few games of the season again this year.
by bluecollarbuffalo on Oct 8, 2009 8:33 PM EDT reply actions
I can agree with that
Our record in 1 and 2 goal games suck the last 2 seasons.
That said, to win a one goal game you need to, like, score.

This Neale quote of the game….
Does it have to be from him? About the game? Could it be from a game thread? J2 just gave the “post of the game” anyways.
hey – she did all the work ;)

Last Game
I did a comment of the game…maybe I’ll make that a regular thing. So far Harry has been off anyway.

oh yeah
Put the pressure on US! Forget the team, forget the announcers. Lay it all on the comments!
Well, you know my vote. LOL.
my friends and I play a game called the “quote of the day” – you don’t get them anyways – but when you do you know it – then we usually write it on a calendar as to remember and for nostalgia

3rd Period Keys to victory
1) Change only one thing
2) That one thing is not giving up short handed opportunities when your on the PP

Back to reality....
100 minutes and counting without a goal.
Roy really looks like crap tonight.
Delightfully Ignoring The Truth since 1995.

Not sure...
Looked to be pretty clean. And not sure if his head hit anything.
What happened to charging penalties? In order for Myers to be hit in the head, the player clearly has to leave his feet.
by bluecollarbuffalo on Oct 8, 2009 9:06 PM EDT reply actions
It's more the leaving the feet......
Maybe I’m wrong, but if I’m not mistaken a shoulder or elbow hit the head…in order for that to happen he had to have left his skates.

Lindy’s doing good – good TO and complaining to refs – might get a questionable call go our way

Yeah, if it fires the team up, that’s good. I think he’s been a little too cool the last 2 seasons…he needs to keep the players from chirping though b/c there are already some players (ie Roy) who whine too much.

OT - Indians fan here
Ronnie Belliard just hit a single to tie things up for the Dodgers.
Name me the one tem with no ex-Indian playing in the playoffs. Go ahead, I dare you!
Or is it the Rockies….I’ll stick w/ my original, you know what they said in high school….It’s always your first guess that has the best chance of being right….or something like that.

About Roy tonite
NevendingOptimism, I didn’t mean to sound lke I disagree. But I do.
I’m not the biggest Roy fan. He’s a weak corner player, loves to whine about every stick check, can’t play hard in front of the net….
And so far I think tonite he’s not dogging it. At all. He’s playing hard and playing every shift. Seems to be where he should be.
Now, I’m a big Vanek fan. And so let’s ask this: what kind of game is TV playing tonite?
what kind of game is TV playing tonite
he’s playing? didnt’ notice………………..
