Twenty-fourth 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 stupendous article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 2.5. Silver team came back down to earth on Thursday as it dropped the second of the Home and Home against Gold by a score of 3 - 12. Notable scratches were #4 and Schneider. Billy Wilson, the regular starting net minder for Gold, was curiously absent in the victory for Gold. Mat Slattery of Slattery Design stepped in to earn the win for Gold. When asked about the missing goal tender, a Gold spokesman said that he was "out sick with the Silver flu.....errr I mean flu."
Vegas odds for the game were altered drastically upon hearing of the late scratch, moving the Gold and Silver money lines to -10,000 and +6,780, the puck line to -9.5, and the total to 14.5. Anyone who got in on Silver +7.5 and the over will be extremely disappointed.
The drama from Monday's game seemed to blow over as none of the young bucks from Gold antics surfaced on Thursday. It would seem that they received the message loud and clear from the veteran Silver team. One Silver team member did go down hard but as far as this reporter can tell, it wasn't due to a cheap shot from Gold. Although there was no gun shot heard, a sniper hit Robbie Barton during one of Gold's offensive rushes, taking him clear off his skates and onto his back. Luckily, the shot did not pierce any vital organs (or the skin itself).
Since there was nothing much to note last game, we have continued the stars of the game from Silver's Monday victory.
Stars of the Game (continued)
1) Jeff Evans (part of the 3 goal barrage to start the game)
2) #4
3) Paul and Harris
Silver has the toughest match up of the season (evidently) tonight at RALSTON at 8:45 PM. Red is currently leading the BPHL standings due to their undefeated record and the fact that their goalie runs the league, stats, and website (probably).
Remember, Dickie Dunn wrote this, so it's gotta be true
