Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 2.18

This is the thirty-seventh 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 mediocre article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 2.18.  Silver dropped another close game last Thursday in the PRECIOUS METAL rivalry series by a score of 6 - 10.  Things looked promising with veteran goal tender Bill Wilson back in the lineup for Gold.  Silver did not hesitate to exploit the weakness, taking a quick 4 - 0 lead.  Gold however returned the favor fast and furious as they rattled of at least 8 straight and ended up holding on for the victory.  Silver did score some late goals that turned out to be quite meaningful for some despite not affecting the actual game outcome.

The loss snapped Silver's 5-game unbeaten streak (franchise high) yet Silver remains all alone in third place holding a five point lead over White, only two points back from their Golden rival.  Silver is likely to start another streak considering their fantastic front office leadership and unlimited talent depth.  The Run for One is looking more and more realistic with every game.  Also, Black team got the measles and is out for the rest of the season, so as of right now, Silver is IN THE PLAYOFFS!

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 man in your life, is a season ticket to Silver team's games.

Stars of the Game
1) Matt Haselbock
2) Jim Stocko
3) Andrew Wong

Silver is back in action against WHITE tonight at RALSTON at 8:45 PM.  This looks to be a bit of a trap game for Silver, which has struggled against White but may find it hard to not look past tonight's game for the impending forfeit victory against the measles-riddled Black team.  Despite the season being well past the half-way mark, this will only be the third game between Silver and White, the previous two being split in essentially even affairs.

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