You and I know the Buffalo Sabres are pretty abysmal. Now Ted Nolan and Pat LaFontaine know it too. Some things will change, heck, everything might change, but Die By The Blade will remain and so will Pick n’ Mix. The fantasy hockey game that doesn’t need cheat sheets, stats, pencils, or late night drafts. All you have to do is pick what you think your ‘favorite team’ the Sabres are going to do in any given week.
Here’s the Sabres’ upcoming schedule –
11/24 – Buffalo Sabres vs Detroit Red Wings (Oh boy. This does not bode well.)
11/27 – Buffalo Sabres vs Montreal Canadiens (Strange this is the first time we play them this year.)
11/29 – Buffalo Sabres vs Toronto Maple Leafs (That lot from across the Falls again.)
11/30 – Buffalo Sabres @ New Jersey Devils (Another team as abysmal as we are.)
We will need you to come up with the following picks –
1) winning team [W] (including a shootout winner) = H or V
2) goals [G] over/under in each game (O/U of 5.5 goals) = O or U
3) powerplay goals [PPG] over/under in each game (O/U of 1.5 goals) = O or U
4) penalty minutes [PIM] over/under in each game (O/U of 25 PIM) = O or U
5) scorer of the game-winning goal [GWG] (including a shootout winner)
Scoring is simple, one point for each correct answer, a max of five per game. You can submit your answers in the comments section of this post, in the form of (for example) –
H O O O Moulson
V U O O Eller
V O O U #PrincessPhaneuf
V O U U Ehrhoff
It’s that easy! The game will close before puckdrop of the first game of the week, so we’ll need all your week’s picks in before that. If you miss the first game, you have until the second game of the week to play for that week. This will be season-long, so make sure you don’t miss any! Good luck, and Go Sabres!
