Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 3.13

This is the 65th 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 recounted article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.13.  Silver dropped a tough one to Red last Thursday, falling 4 - 5.  The Black Knight was in rare form in net for Red and was able to win the game almost single-handed.  Silver had many, many, many chances which is a testament to how well the Black Knight was playing - easily earning the number one star honors.  That's all there is to say about that.

Do you know what nemesis means?

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were not awarded since there was not a worthy recipient.  The Ag Player Silver Spotlight features a long-time veteran and also the new equipment manager, Jeff Evans.  Now, Jeff was not always at the lofty rank of equipment manager.  He, like all success stories, had to work his way up to that position.  Similarly, in his other career, Evans started as the costume guy flipping a sign outside Pizza West.  Now, he is the boss and even signs the owner's checks.

I have two mushroom heads.

The wily veteran has honed his skills in many other areas during his time with Silver - not necessarily on the ice, but they are related as "adjacent" activities.  One of those is winning at the crane game.   Winner$, the local watering hole outside the rink has a crane game and it is pretty obvious that Evans decided to practice craning whenever he had the chance so he could win his teammates over with wonderful crane game toys.  It has worked like gangbusters.  The other skill that was developed was drinking 36 oz beers and throating double barrel hot dogs - we all know how being a professional in those areas can improve the quality of our lives.  Clearly it makes you a ladies man as evidenced by the next photograph - you sly dog you.

Blond or brunette - I ain't choosy!
