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.
Congrats to zaniac75 on winning the October prize of a Buffalo Sabres poster. I will be sending that out shortly.

I fear
the dumb penalties are moving from annoyance to trend.

Couple of the girls are really cute. Good eastern European blood.
Them seem pretty chill and are very quiet and polite. No complaints on my end.

Dude – it’s Lucic. Do you want to get HNG killed? I’d say don’t even make eye contact…
(Actually – I’m lying. I’d offer up some beer.)

This is pretty solid advice.
You guys would be able to see me when the camera pans to the sabres shoot side this period. I’m rocking my vintage 1997 goathead sabres puckhead.

There goes any chance of scoring with the Lucic babes.

Tough, physical game so far
Seems like we’ve been in a lot of those lately. I like that we don’t shy away from it.

Good penalty kill. Bad interference call.

Getting in front
of Big Z’s shot may not have been such a good idea.

It's hard to be boring when you're a winning team
but we have accomplished that the past month, especially at home.

The Sens have been getting the better of us for years now. It's time for that to change.

Thats been part
of a larger trend of ineptitude against bad teams.

No matte the result
of OT/SO, I’m happy with the way this team has played the last week and a half or so. Playing well against some solid teams. The Florida game was an abortion, but I’m going to just tell myself that the consistency will come.
