This is the thirty-first 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 titillating article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 2.12. Silver returned to action last Thursday in the second of a home and home against their bitter rival, Gold. Unfortunately for Silver, it was more of the same from the previous meeting. Gold slightly edged out Silver by a score of 8 - 2, giving Silver the win where it counts.
Silver played Gold tight again (obvious by the score) and simply couldn't cash in on the scoring chances. In fact, it was clear that if Billy Wilson wasn't out with the "Silver" flu, the game would have been an easy victory for Silver. Pizza West correctly made all their orders Thursday and thus Silver team went hungry after the game. Winners didn't have any hot dogs either, what a downer night - no way to celebrate covering the spread other than enjoying a few barley pops.
The game didn't finish completely without some fireworks as the first and second stars of the game got into a bit of a tilly. The number one star got the last laugh as he buried a clap-bomb past Slattery as time expired, putting an explanation point on the win (against the spread). Tensions didn't last long as the two buried the hatchet immediately following the handshake. I wouldn't be surprised if Alan is going to be Mitch's best man at his upcoming nuptials.
Stars of the Game
1) Mitch Staiger
2) Alan Blankenship
3) Ringo Alfred
Silver plays the former hottest team in the league tonight at RALSTON at 8:45 PM. After starting 3 - 0, Red has lost 6 of their last 7, a skid that began after meeting Silver for the first time this season way back on November 4th. Red looks to right the ship, while Silver looks to keep pace with White for 1st place in the league of non-NCAA all-star teams.
Remember, Dickie Dunn wrote this, so it's gotta be true
