Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 16

Sixteenth 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 spectacular and wonderful article Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 16.  Silver team played by the playbook they wrote, falling behind early before storming back for the victory.  A rare 7:15 game may have thrown off the squad as they faced Red at Ralston last Thursday, but as previously mentioned, they recovered quite nicely.

Red team has had some losses this year in personnel which has ultimately led to a mid to late-season skid.  The I am Legend zombie has somehow been killed and Mark "I never get tired or pass" Marta has missed some games due to personal obligations (some may involve breaking Charbuff's hand - it is common knowledge that those two do not get along).  This has left Red severely shorthanded and even the spectacular goaltending of Slattery cannot keep them afloat in most cases.  Silver again found themselves down 0 - 2 before knotting the score and eventually taking the lead for good.

A deep bench again gave an advantage to Silver.  It was clear that players were being more efficient and using up more oxygen than normal during their shifts.  One player, Dustin Gangelhoff was on the verge of a career night, nearly netting a hattrick.  Instead he fumbled it around the front (of the net) on multiple goal mouth passes and went to the bench feeling shame.  The goal wasn't needed for the win as Silver won 7-4 which brought the normally sure-handed Gangelhoff into the spotlight....for not scoring.  Some authorities think he may have had the under.   More on that story as it develops.
