This is the fifty-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 virus-free article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.05. Silver and Gold clashed Monday night in this season's first edition of the PRECIOUS METALS game. It was the first meeting of the teams since the infamous March 2020 bloodbath when Silver claimed ultimate precious metal superiority by absolutely clobbering those secret handshaking assholes. The game eventually got violent as the super sore losers cranked the cheap shots up to eleven. For a full recap bang it HERE.
The sour taste in Gold's mouth hasn't quite been washed out and during their suspension, they forced their former goal tender, Billy Wilson, into early retirement. OR DID THEY?! Billy Wilson hasn't been seen since St. Patrick's Day of this year, the timing is oddly convenient for Gold and extremely convenient for Matthew Slattery (founder of Slattery Design ©). Slattery was rumored to be demanding a trade all of last season, but the deadline came and went with no transaction. Angered by this, could Slattery have taken matters into his own hands and "disappeared" the aging Wilson, likely aided by Gold, given their sinister nature (see March 2020 7th edition of precious metals game)? A few months later, Gold debuted their new goalie - Matthew Slattery. Coicidence? You be the judge.
The Monday game wasn't as heated as the previous meeting, cooler heads prevailed throughout (and Gold didn't fall behind by 5 goals and bring out the slew foot machine). There were several lead changes during the contest and a fantastic finish to regulation. Silver found themselves down two goals with under two minutes to play. Showing the true grit and determination of a superior metal, Silver battled back and netted the tying goal with just under 30 seconds remaining and nearly had the game winner cross the goal line as time was expiring. Silver did lose in the shootout, but they walked out of the rink with their heads held high, earning a big point that will likely pay big time dividends during the final stretch of the 2020 "Run for One."

The Prestigious LA Ross Silver Helmet Memorial Trophy and the Obscure Bryan "Mario" Alexander Silver Lancers Fedora was unofficially awarded to Griff Watson - mostly because Hockey News! had a picture ready and it was an overall team comeback shoot-out loss. The Ag Player Silver Spotlight is however focused on everyone's favorite soon-to-be Platte Valley Auto captain, Ba-la-key Koster. Ba-la-Key is a grinder on the ice - everyone knows that, but did you know he loves Husker football as well? Check out this article where he spoke about his beloved team. He's a family man and a bit of a ladies man as well (or at least he used to be). Ba-la-key loves another team with red in their uniform, the St. Louis Cardinals. He might even have went to a world series game when they won (probably). At one time he also had bleach blonde hair and won a VFW state baseball championship. Say "so long" the next time you see him, it might be awhile before you get another chance.
