Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 15

Fifteenth 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 fascinating article Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 15.  Silver team finished the second game in a home and home series on the road against the cellar-dwelling Purple team at Ralston arena this past Monday.  The game was a much lower scoring (especially for the losers) then the most recent contest at Baxter.  Silver blanked Purple 7 - 0 (website reporting the score incorrectly) and got its first shutout of the season (3rd in the league).

The game was a slow and steady bludgeoning of the weaker foe and some took offense to Silver "running up the score."  Considering it was only 6 - 0 late in the third period, Mitch "4" Staiger was quoted as saying, "We aren't capable of running up a score - have you seen our roster?  We lose our breath tying our skates.  Take a look a the Black team if you want to see no mercy.  The average margin of victory is about 19 goals. Give or take."  There may have been another angle at play.  As some people in the sports world know, some goals become more important than others.  There was no reason to let a sloppy late goal turn into a bad beat for people on the "right side" (which was Silver -5.5).

Mario also made is gripes known as Jeff Harris tried to split the Purple defense late in the third.  Luckily, he escaped with his head.  Careful fellas, we all have to go to work tomorrow.  Griff Watson continued his impressive streak against Purple by stopping all the shots with relative ease to earn 1st star honors in back to back games.

Stars of the Game

1) Griffith Watson

2) Mike Klingbeil

3) Adam Collette

Silver finally gets an early game tonight against Red, opening at RALSTON on Thursday, 11 April at 7:15 PM.  It is very interesting how Red seems to never play a late game.  Silver team might get an investigative reporter on the job to question the league administrators.  Stay tuned.

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