Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 4

Fourth posting of the news articles from the Beer and Pretzel Hockey League written by the beat writer that covers the league.  He calls himself Dickie Dunn - his true identity is unknown.

Greetings hockey fans and welcome to another article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition.  Silver team brought their two game super hot winning streak into action last Thursday against the undefeated Black "SUPER" team.  Given the circumstances, the billing lived up to they hype - an unstoppable force versus an immovable object.

Silver team started off slow - to try and lull Black into a false sense of security.  It was nearly working as Black skated to a quick 4-0 lead.  Several unlucky bounces and at least two posts kept Silver off the scoreboard as the game progressed into the second period.  The Silver goaltender, A-A-Ron Martens had some colorful language for the Black bench as he changed ends.  This reporter can only speculate as to what was said, but it may have sounded something like, "...pink hearts, orange stars, yellow moons, green clovers, and blue diamonds are all the original marshmallows from Lucky Charms."

Silver broke through in the third with a goal or two to keep the pressure on Black - they won't let up without a solid, three-touchdown lead.  The wile veteran James D got in on the action with a beaut of a goal set up from Paulie B.  This turned out to be a pivotal goal as it helped keep the differential at 10 goals after a very late goal from Black pushed the total past the over (13-3) - disappointing a lot of degenerates out there.  Some say it was an extremely bad beat as all Black team had to do was run out the clock instead of go balls out for a full 48 minutes.

Silver is back in action this Thursday, 28 February 2019 at 7:15 PM CT versus White at Ralston Arena.  Notable healthy scratches already on the books - Mitch "4" Staiger and Dustin "Dangle Gangle" Gangelhoff.

Remember, Dickie Dunn wrote this, so it's gotta be true
