Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 3.41

This is the 93rd 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 PRECIOUS METALS EDITION article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.41.  Silver and Gold battled for the 9th and final regular season PRECIOUS METALS game last Thursday night at the War Memorial.  Silver was a bit light on the roster due to several issues ranging from staffing problems at the local pizzeria or not being able to read a website (or blog post) to taking vacations in the middle of a competitive season.

Silver gave their best effort with the six skaters they had against a fully loaded Gold roster, but in the end, the fatigue is what finished their chance to win.  Silver hung in the game for all of two periods, holding the lead at two different points before giving up seven straight goals in the third period to fall by a final of 9 - 15.  

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF (and Faceoff Chain) were unawarded after the loss.

Silver is back in action Monday, 05 April at RALSTON Arena at 8:15 PM.  Silver and Teal meet up for the final regular season tilt with a lot riding on the game - mainly the Silver team's unbeaten streak against Teal (lifetime) and the current 21-game losing streak for Teal.  Silver team is also looking to lock in 3rd place in the standings sitting at a record of 18-19-2 with 38 points.  They lead White by 7 points with 4 games to play.  My high school math tells me that a single win would put Silver 1 point above White's possible total, should they sweep the last 4 games.  Coincidentally, it will also hit the prop bet over 7.5 wins in Silver's the last 17 games of the season, if you took that action.  Come on down to the Ralston Arena, bring the kids!  We've got entertainment for the whole family.
