This is the 95th 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 wonderfully officiated article of Hockey News BPHL: Special Edition Vol: 3.43. Silver and White finished up the second of their final three games of regular season play last Thursday, skating to a 2 -2 tie. Due to an error in the scoring of the game, the league website is incorrect. There is no expectation of a recount of the score, the people in charge have decided that it will not affect the overall standings, so there is no reason to perform the exercise.
Silver fought White the entire game, but still trailed 0 - 2 with just under 2 minutes to play in regulation. After gaining control and entering the offensive zone, Silver made the call for goaltender Martens to head to the bench. With the extra attacker, Silver controlled the play brilliantly before getting a tipped shot from the point to find the net for the first Silver tally of the evening. Martens returned to the net for the center ice draw and again skated to the bench once Silver rushed into the White zone. A few slick passes later, Silver went backdoor one-T to tie the game, leaving White in an absolute tailspin. With about one minute remaining, Silver was now eyeing a win in regulation after what seemed like a certain loss. It was not to be, as both teams had a few chances but eventually tied and decided to forgo the shootout, due to time constraints - also the Head BPHL Official suffered apparent injuries to both his eyes and ears, preventing him from being able to call goals accurately.
The PLARSHMT & OBMASLF (and Faceoff Chain) were awarded to the BPHL Head Official for an outstanding and unforgettable performance, despite the injuries that Hockey News! has just learned have been plaguing him the entire season. Both goalies also were stars in their own right, but since neither of them won the game, the number one star is CLEAR.
