Hockey News! Special Edition Vol: 5.03

This is the 104th 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 of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 5.03.  Silver showed what Thursday hockey in the BPHL is going to look like this season and it was not pretty.  Historically, Silver has handled the under skilled Red team, even when numbers have been low on the Silver bench.  

Silver had trouble keeping pace with the stacked Red menace, trailing most of the game.  Silver was down 3 - 5 as the end of regulation approached.  Then, as they have many times in past, Silver dug deep and found the will to fight back and tie the game, sending the contest to a shootout.  Unfortunately, the heroics ended there as Silver fell in the shootout.

The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF are not awarded in losses.  They are ONLY FOR WINNERS.  Alex Cooper forfeited his chance to win the Faceoff Chain in consecutive games by abandoning his team to watch a high school male cheerleading competition.  The word out of the dressing room is that a heavy fine has been issued to "Coop."

Stars of the Game

1)  Creighton Guy 1
2)  Creighton Guy 2
3)  Quinn White (subbed for Red team)

Silver is back in action on Monday, 17 October at RALSTON Arena at 8:15 PM.  Silver and Gold will battle in the first PRECIOUS METALS game of the season.  It's been a while since Silver pounded those inferior metal losers.  It's free potassium iodide night at the rink - good for etching gold.  Be sure to show up and pour it on your most hated Gold player!

Remember, Dickie Dunn wrote this, so it's gotta be true
