Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 3.26

This is the 78th 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 guest submission special article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.26.  Silver and Rust had one for the ages last Thursday skating to an 8 - 8 tie in regulation before Silver prevailed in the shootout.  This week we have not one but TWO guest editor submissions.  Enjoy!

Special field reporter Jim Carr here, just outside the war memorial to bring you some capital J Journalism breaking news.  We received a tip that Slattery canceled the games on 1/25 because they were going up against Black and he is on shaky ground with a second place Gold team that demands excellence.  When we reached out to the self-proclaimed back to back to back......etc. champ player/coach of Gold, Marc Hasebroock, he chose not to comment on the rumors but did say that the organization thought they made a great move in the offseason to upgrade their goaltending BUT he made it very clear that, “Slattery has to be better, or else.  It would be a shame if what happened to Bill Wilson, happened to him.”  One can only speculate what Marc meant with that comment.  Shortly after receiving this information, the Gold organization tendered every current and former UNO goalie not already on a BPHL roster.  I was also able to reach out to player and GM from Black, Daniel White, to get his thoughts on this developing story.  For most of the conversation he looked confused, but he did mutter out something about opening several new car wash facilities to keep his team stocked with fresh players.

There was a lot to take in there, but great information, as always, from Jim Carr.  Special thanks to Jim for his journalistic integrity and tenacity to never let a story escape.  Now we move on to your favorite Charlestown Chief, who is a college graduate and an American citizen.

Greetings you degenerate gamblers, Ned here.  I had a couple rough weeks but my thumbs are all healed up and I’m outta debt.  Only one way to celebrate and that’s by throwing some cash on this big football match coming up.  Chiefs vs. Bucs for the Super Bowl!!! Take the Chiefs -3 but be prepared to live bet in about the middle of the 4th quarter when the refs start changing the rules for Brady.  Lock bets for TD scorers: Kelce, Helaire, Evans, Fournette.  For the MVP it’s going to come down to the winning QB.  Mahomes is the favorite at -150 and counterpart Brady is +175.  The smart money is on Brady for that one.  I am now obligated by the state of Nebraska to mention that if you have a gambling problem call 1-800-BETSOFF.  I think they’re a loan shark or something.  Anyway, good luck and if you stick with my picks...you’ll probably win at least one.

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were shared by the three stars of the game for each of their key contributions.  Voss tied the game nearly as time expired, Martens stayed mentally tough after allowing 8 goals in regulation to only give up one goal against at least seven shooters, and finally, Gangelhoff buried the game winner after the emergency backup tender, CJ Tate stifled almost all of Silver's shooters.  The Faceoff Chain made its return and was self-awarded to Coop.
