Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 2.31

This is the fiftieth 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 a bi-weekly article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 2.31.  Silver overcame an early deficit to remain undefeated against Teal last night, winning by a score of 4 - 2.  Goal scorers were New Mitch, Adam Collette, and two other players (probably #4 and maybe Jake M, Matt B, Blake K, Jim D, but definitely NOT Kyle K, Chris S, Nate K, Taylor L, Reid J, Alex C, or AARon M).  

Silver was peppering stand-in goalie Matthew Slattery (of Slattery Design, Inc. LLC Corp.) all night - it would be hard to tell without the official stat sheet in front of me, but one would guess he saw at least 75 shots, what a dynamo!  Teal had a number of "stand-in" players that were approved by the league office despite being against the league by-laws.  Lucky for Silver, they don't let those things affect them on the ice - they are always ready to play.

The focus has shifted to playoff seeding with Silver just two points back from White, the final games have become that much more crucial.  They will be the difference in a first round game against Teal or a first round game against bitter rival, Red.  You don't have to be Herbert Alstone to know that's a big deal.  White will likely get at least three wins in the final six games.  That means Silver has to get four wins or three wins and a shootout loss in order to take over third place, but they only have five games to do it.
