One of Boltsmag’s longtime readers introduced me to a game that he and a few local bloggers up north put together for Washington Capitals fans and Toronto Maple Leaf fans. It’s called Pick SPG and it’s a pick’em game but not of the traditional sort where you pick the winner of games…

Nope, you’re picking production:

SPG is an online game where you predict which players on your favorite NHL team will get the first shot on net, take the first penalty, and score the first goal for each period in a game, including overtime & the shootout.

There’s more information about the game on the SPG website. Gary would love to add more teams (the Lightning specifically) but there has to be enough interest in order to do it… That and someone dedicated to administrate additional teams.

This just in, the New York Rangers have reportedly traded Brian Leetch to the Toronto Maple Leafs. No details just yet from my end but the firesale continues in New York - does Sather get points or bullets for trading this long-time Ranger?

The Toronto Maple Leafs announced Wednesday evening that the hockey club has acquired defenceman Brian Leetch and a conditional draft choice from the New York Rangers in exchange for defenceman Max Kondratiev, forward Jarkko Immonen, Toronto’s first-round pick in the 2004 Entry Draft and the team’s second-round pick in 2005.
