Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 2.13

This is the thirty-second 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 salacious article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 2.13.  Silver surprisingly dropped a heart breaker to Red last Monday by a score of 3 - 5.  Despite out-chancing the clearly inferior opponent, goals were hard to come by.

What's that? There was more to the story then just facing some scoring woes.  Red team, this reporter can confirm, was playing with an illegal roster.  Two players from the Gold team were out for sabotage and provided Red with all the offense and puck possession they would need to get the win.  The two extra skaters put Red at ten players, a clear violation of league bylaws.  Therefore, the game was officially forfeited to Silver and the score likely would have been 10 - 0 in favor of Silver had Red team played by the rules.  What a shameful night in league history.

The "loss" drops Silver to 5 - 7 on the season.  The standings are extremely tight in the middle of the pack, so don't lose hope Silver fans, there is plenty of season left.  Chances are excellent that Silver still makes the post-season.

Stars of the Game
1) Satan Nadler (of Gold)
2) Garfield Hoovestol (of Gold)
3) Mat Slattery

Silver plays their second game of the season against White tonight at RALSTON at 10:00 PM.  After opening the BPHL season up against White, Silver has played 10 straight without seeing White come up on the schedule.  Sounds like the league president should focus less energy on his fantasy camp stats and more on creating a normal schedule.

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