Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 3.40

This is the 92th 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 foolhardy article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.40.  Silver and White got together for the first of their three final contests in the regular season this past Monday.  Silver had a full lineup of three lines and they were bangin' from the start.  It was three - rip within the first three minutes, but White did not give in getting the game back to 3 - 2 before Silver opened the flood gates.  The final score finished at 9 - 2.

Griff Watson - 1 W, 2 GA, 39 SV, 8 Silver Bullets

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF (and Faceoff Chain) were awarded to Griff Watson for his stellar 2 GA performance in net.  Fresh off an Ag Silver Spotlight feature, he was primed for an excellent performance.  The game also marked a return to the lineup for Evans and Staiger after extended absences due to flu-like symptoms.  Bednarz was cured of snakebite during the game and got on the score sheet with a wicked short side snipe and also added a helper.
