Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 3.27

This is the 79th 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 rivalrous article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.27.  Silver and Gold met in the first of another home and home series on Monday night at the Gold home rink.  Gold continued the domination of the PRECIOUS METALS series winning by a score of 9 - 4.  It seems that despite only an infinitesimally smaller GAA for the new Gold goalie (replacing Bill Wilson) Silver is now unable to get the job done against the rival.  Player/coach Jim DeRouchey is likely going to shuffle the lines around to get something cooking for Silver in the series.  Maybe getting several former division one hockey players to play on the team would also help, but it is probably more of a line-shuffling issue.

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF were unawarded.  The Faceoff Chain was retired - Silver team does not want nor do they appear to deserve more than one trophy (certainly not more than two).

Don't forget to check out the archives of all your favorite Hockey News! articles that really capture the spirit of the thing over at the main blog site www.ddunnwrotethis.blogspot.com.  Keep in mind that the perfect accessory for the man in your life, is a season ticket to Silver team's games.

Silver is back in action Thursday, 4 February at RALSTON Arena at 9:45 PM.  Silver and Gold will take the ice for the seventh PRECIOUS METALS game of the season.  Silver is looking to get a win on home ice in the second game of the home and home series with hated rival, Gold.  They are desperately looking to get off the schneid and will likely do anything to get the job done.  On a lighter note, it's ZUBAZ night at the Ralston War Memorial Arena - wear your favorite pair and get half off your entrance fee and a free "Save the Tiger" poster.  Come on down to the Ralston Arena, bring the kids!  We've got entertainment for the whole family.

Cool comment coming from an Anonymous poster! I'm sure any Silver player would meet you on the ice for some razzle dazzle if you dare.
