Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 11

Eleventh 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 the very special 11th volume of Hockey News! BPHL: Special Edition.  Last Thursday night Silver dropped the first game of a home and home series against Gold in another edition of the "Precious Metal" game.

This reporter didn't make the trip to report on this game, thinking Silver likely had it in the bag with the return of Taylor "Breakin' the" Law and the newly acquired UFA Jake "IceGator" Ortmeyer.  Gold jumped out to an early lead, but Silver countered with several goals from Jeff "0% Body Fat" Harris.

Both netminders had a rough go of it as the final tally ended 13 - 14 in favor of the heavier, softer metal.  Jimmy "Dude, Where's My Contact?" Evans developed a rubber allergy shortly before the first period.  Billy Wilson's excuse was the same as the last 10 years, "Hey, I'm pushing 100, what do you want?"  At least it didn't turn out to be a bad beat for the under bettors, with the over hitting sometime during the 2nd period leaving no one in suspense.  Oddsmakers were sure to adjust the lines for the upcoming game and there has been a TON of action on Silver, betting the spread down to just a pair of goals and the moneyline is nearly even.  Look out Gold, road games are sometimes hostile environments.

Stars of the Game

3) Billy Wilson

Silver is back in action this for the Seventh "Battle of the Precious Metals" tonight, Thursday, 28 March at BAXTER arena.  The puck drops at 10:00 CT.  This is a second of the home and home series with Gold and sure to be an absolute barn-burner.  Get your tickets at the door or from your local scalper.

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