This is the 105th 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 super edition of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 5.04. Silver and Gold played the first PRECIOUS METALS game of the young season last Monday. Silver team left the ice wishing they hadn't shown up (score sheet indicates they didn't) - or that at least maybe Gold had to forfeit. Gold scored early and often, removing any hope of the first Silver victory (against Gold) since that fateful night in March 2020.
Silver was coming off bittersweet games against Red and the perennial powerhouse Black. On one hand, they were feeling confident with the late-stage comeback to force a shootout versus Red while having a chance to steal a win late in the game versus Black, which felt kind of sweet! On the other hand, both games resulted in taking Ls, making them both quite bitter pills to swallow. As the saying goes, what does not kill you only makes you stronger and the Silver team will use these experiences to put together a winning strategy as the season continues. If not, hearing the Gold team chanting, "IT'S NOT WORTH WINNING IF YOU CAN'T WIN BIG!!" from their dressing room will certainly do the trick in the future. I mean, seriously, what a bunch of pathetic losers!
The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF are not awarded in losses. They are ONLY FOR WINNERS. Despite the loss, Alex Cooper worked his tail off in all facets of the game to win the Faceoff Chain. This nearly makes up for his previous absence and the team stated that his fine was only partially paid as of last Monday.
Stars of the Game
Silver is back in action on Monday, 24 October at RALSTON Arena at 8:15 PM. Silver and Pink/Purple/White will battle in their first meeting this season. Both teams are in the standings cellar and are eager to start the climb to the top. It's the first night of SPOOKY WEEK at the rink, so come on in for some free tricks or treats! Free tickets to anyone wearing a costume! One could argue that is more of a trick than a treat, but just knowing that Black or Gold will get a loss tonight will make attending worthwhile.
Remember, Dickie Dunn wrote this, so it's gotta be true
