Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 2.14

This is the thirty-third 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 absolutely fabulous article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 2.14.  Silver shocked the world Monday edging out White by a score of 6 - 4 (with a needless empty netter).  Some goals become more important than others (the O/U was 9.5) and that empty net goal had some people celebrating and others saying, "You've got to be kidding me."  The game finished just in time to be featured on SVP's popular segment, "Bad Beats."

Don't forget to checkout the archives of all your favorite Hockey News! articles over at the blog site www.ddunnwrotethis.blogspot.com.  Keep in mind that the perfect accessory for the loved one in your life, is a season ticket to Silver team's games.

Jumping out to an early lead has paid major dividends this season for Silver and Monday night was no different.  Bagging an early goal to take a 1 - 0 lead, Silver was able to hold off White all night, never falling behind.  The loss could be squarely placed on the usually stellar shoulders of White goalie Quinn White who let in a couple of suspect goals, including the game winner.

It wasn't all puppies and roses though, Silver fought through major adversity, including the potential costly penalty late in the third.  White's Ben Maenner tried to wriggle free from Silver's bruising defenseman, Chris "Don't Tread On Me" Schneider (who hails from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan) but was mercilessly hauled down, resulting in a minor penalty for Silver.  Silver had no problem answering the bell and Paul "Go Beavers" Bednarz eventually tallied a selfish, empty net goal with 7 seconds remaining.  Clearly, Paul is behind on meeting the incentive clauses in his contract (50 goals in 36 games earns him an extra double barrel hot dog at Winners).

Stars of the Game
1) Griffith Watson
2) "New" Mitch Killian
3) Chris Schneider

Silver plays their first of another home and home versus Black tonight at RALSTON at 8:30 PM.  After the victory against White on Monday and the impending game versus Black, maybe we'll finally find out if Michael Jackson was telling the truth when he said, "It doesn't matter if you're black or white."

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