Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 3.29

This is the 81th 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 orgasmic article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.29.  Silver continued the domination of Rusty Red this season, winning on Monday night by a score of 10 - 4.  The lopsided victory brings Silver's record to 5-1-1 against Red, with two games going to shootouts.  The emergency backup goalie was not allowed to come in and try to save the day for Red, although The Black Knight did take a Bednarz rocket wrister directly off his melon, triggering a stoppage in play for the BPHL concussion protocol.  Unlike the bitter rival Gold, Silver took their heavy feet off the gas pedal and cruised to a solid victory without going one million miles an hour for all 36 minutes (aside from one Silver player that went harder then he has all season for the last 4 minutes to make up for the lollygagging that had preceded).  It just goes to show how you cannot teach class, it is something that no team that would deliberately change their name to match a precious metal and also use the periodic table element symbol as a logo, could ever have.  Unless a team was doing it to mock the first team - then it is pure class.

Silver is back in action Thursday, 11 February at RALSTON Arena at 7:30 PM.  Silver and White unite for their fourth game of the season.  Get ready for a few more of these games, because White and Silver meet 5 times in the next 17 games.  Interestingly enough, Silver holds the goal differential on the season by a margin of 18 - 14, but remains 1 - 2 in the series.  The new O/U for Silver Wins has come in at 7.5 for the remainder of the regular season (17 games).  Currently about 85% of the bets placed are on the under.  Come on down to the Ralston Arena, bring the kids!  We've got entertainment for the whole family.
