  • The Sabres are 9-2-2 when scoring the first goal but they are 0-2-1 in their last three games when they score first.

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 finally sent it out this week.

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.

quick question for anyone on here… I remember a while ago Robi talking about for special teams units… and I believe I remember him saying you have the combined % of PK and PP to be above 108% but not sure on that. Anyone know what that % was?

Egads. I just looked at the season stats. Wow – their plus/minus numbers are terrible. MacArthur is a -9? Butler too? Those are two very bad numbers. Makes me think Sekera should be given a shot, and that they really need another top 2 line winger.

Good Opportunities

there were a couple of real good chances but the Caps are doing a good job of tying up the forwards on the rebound. Kennedy and Roy both would have scored but they were tied up by the defense.

I’m tired of seeing Ovechkin skate through the middle of the ice unmolested gaining speed before he hits our line, especially when there are two defenders backing off him. Someone needs to step up on him in the neutral zone.

You make it sound like I don’t think he’s a superior talent but it’s the opposite – because he’s so good we need to prevent him from getting a full head of steam whenever possible.

I disagree

the Caps are doing a good job of keeping them out. Stafford has gone hard to the net twice and that last sequence they had three guys crashing the net. If one would have stayed back, they probably would have had a rebound.

Ya know...

…this was very similar (but not as severe) to a hit that Ovechkin gave Briere three years ago where he got a game misconduct. Campbell refused to suspend him because he didn’t have a reputation as a headhunter and dirty player.

Colin…he has that reputation now. Throw the book at him.

I’m talking about the power play unit.

Bills fan? In Colorado? It's more likely than you think.

Does any Sabre

  know how to hit corners ;with their shots? They could have a scarecrow in the nets and we still couldn’t connect.

That’ll probably do it.

Still too early for “the sky is falling”?

At this point, no.

Yeah

it’s still too early…the problem tonight was getting behind. This is a different team when they are behind.

Haha, it’s an 82 game season – it’s WAY too early.

Pretty Easy game for Varlamov

Didn’t have to make many tough saves

The lack of finishing is comical.
