Nineteenth 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 a miraculous article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 19. Silver team clearly had a fire lit under them after the poor showing against White. Don't tell them the Final Precious Metal game of the regular season is meaningless.
The game was a back and forth for most of the game - each goalie making some spectacular saves. Somehow each team managed to muster up some even more spectacular shots with the game reaching a score of 13 - 12 favoring the clearly superior precious metal, Silver. The question is, how did they get there? That my friend is one helluva tale.
Let me paint you a word picture: Throughout the game the flashes of silver and gold jerseys flying up and down the milky ice was akin to three or even four dimensional poetry in motion. The brisk, icy air was so thick with intensity and ripe with competitive tension, you could cut it with a skate blade. Rubber was being launched from every direction, snow spray was fluttering about, accidental-like, as if on a breeze. Shrill whistles and goal lamps filled the arena early and often as the game entered the final minutes. Silver team once again found themselves in a bit of a hole, down four goals with little precious time remaining. Then it happened, the comeback that inspired the San Jose Sharks to NEVER SAY DIE. With not a second more than 6 minutes to play Silver team let the BPHL world know that THEY WOULD NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT! THEY WOULD NOT VANISH WITHOUT A FIGHT! THEY WERE GOING TO LIVE ON. THEY WERE GOING TO SURVIVE! TONIGHT WE CELEBRATE OUR PRECIOUS METALS GAME VICTORY!
Just like that, Silver team rallied and scored five unanswered goals, including a game tying goal with an empty net, and the game winner with less than 10 seconds remaining. It was done. The regular season finished on the highest of high notes - a Precious Metals game victory via miraculous comeback. Well done, Silver. The BPHL salutes you for your effort, resiliency, and resolve. Good luck in the postseason.
