Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 9

Ninth 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 failed to be the first BPHL team to give Black a loss in regulation last Thursday losing a nail-biter 11 - 3.  Fire power for Black did not falter despite the limited number of skaters available.  Much of Black's main roster were scratched for the game due to undisclosed lower body injuries.

Black conserved their energy early in the game, giving Silver some false hope, but slowly and steadily poured it on, relying heavily on their superb goal-tending.  The lone bright spot came in the first when Silver found themselves shorthanded due to a severe, carving hook by defenseman Jeff Evans.  Centerman Jeff Harris took advantage of a poorly-timed pinch and tucked it home where momma keeps the cookie jar.  That marks consecutive games with a Silver shorthanded marker.  This team continues to make history in 2019.

Charbuff and crew remain a permanent fixture in the spotlight making a number of controversial calls.  The best example of that in this game was the third Silver goal that may or may not have crossed the line and was eventually whistled a goal 17 seconds after being cleared out the zone.  Silver did not complain - nor did the people who took the +7.5 spread.  Alas, it was not to be as Black buried one too many goals.

Stars of the Game

1) Kirk Thompson

2) Bryan Marshall

3) Jeff Harris

Silver takes on White tonight at BAXTER Arena.  The puck drops at 8:45 PM CT.  Silver looks to get their first win against White.  White team will try to make it six straight against Silver.
