2017 Pick ‘Em
Welcome to our 8th annual pick ’em tournament!
Predict
How to play
Your objective is to attempt to predict the exact score of each Sabres game.
Here’s the scoring breakdown:
2 points for predicting correct # of Sabres goals
2 points for predicting correct # of opponent goals
1 point for correctly predicting the winner
That gives you a maximum potential of five points per game. The record for perfect predictions in a season is 12 (Bob Cimini, 2010-11).
Our top prize for the 2016-17 season is any current NHL jersey of your choice.
Fans of all teams are welcome to participate. Good luck!
