Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 3.24

This is the 76th 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 historically accurate article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.24.  Silver team fell behind 0 - 1 to Teal early in the tightly contested first period on Thursday night at the War Memorial.  It was not due to a lack of chances, but Silver players were finding it difficult to get it past Teal tender Tyler Grosche, who was standing on his head in the early going.  It took a super sick snipe over the right shoulder from Silver veteran defenseman Dustin Gangelhoff to get Silver on the board.  The wildly impressive goal sparked the Silver bench and they pumped in a few more to secure the victory by a final score of 6 - 3.

Alex Cooper and Zach Voss added goals (2 for Voss unless he also had the tip in goal, in which case the star of the game probably should change but it's too late now) for Silver and they were just as impressive - those were the only goals that were getting past Teal's net minder on this particular evening.  Cooper gained control of the puck in the high slot on a turnover, completely blacked out, and continued to smoothly toe drag Waggener before finishing just under the bar.  The goal from Voss came from near the goal line in the corner - the laws of physics had to have been broken to score from that angle as he somehow also managed to tuck it where momma keeps the cookie jar.  Gangelhoff added another tally in the second period after failing to get the puck to Harris, the puck bounced back on his stick and he made the most of the break, burying a backhand laser into the top of the net, securing player of the game honors.  He was quoted in the post-game presser as saying, "Some people say they'd rather be lucky then good.  I'd rather be lucky AND good.  Unfortunately, I am neither."
