Biscuits and Breezers
       Welcome to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! So with the 2011-2012 hockey season coming to a close, there will not be much to blog about but I will make sure there will be! I have also stopped the player reviews until next season, sorry but there is just not enough to write about and have them on here. August or September should be the first months that the player reviews come back. That is just an FYI for all my lovely viewers! Anyway, who saw the draft!?! I was very surprised when some of my favorite picks didn't go till the third, fourth, or even fifth rounds! As everyone expected Nail Yakupov went first to the Oilers, Ryan Murray went second to the Columbus Blue Jackets, and Alex Galchenyuk went third to the Montreal Canadiens. As you all now I am a gigantic Penguins fan and I would like to take a moment and welcome the new Ptitsburgh Penguins Derrick Pouliot drafted 8th, Olli Maatta drafted 22nd, Theodor Blueger drafted 52nd, Oskar Sundqvist drafted  81st, Matt Murray drafted 83rd, Matia Marcantuoni drafted 92nd, Sean Maguire drafted 113th, Clarke Seymour drafted 143rd, and to Anton Zlobin drafted 173rd. Welcome to Pittsburgh boys!!

      The next thing we are going to talk about is the Jordan Staal trade. In the 2012-2013 season, the Carolina Hurricanes will have another familiar face on the ice. A Staal brother. Going into unrestricted free agency after the 2012-2013 season, the Penguins had a decision to make, whether to keep Staal, Crosby, and Malkin and who trade. Well that was decided on Day 1 of the 2012 NHL Entry Draft when the Peguins traded Staal to the Carolina Hurricanes for the 8th draft pick, Brandon Sutter, and young prospect Brian Dumoulin. Staal reportedly turned down a 10 year deal that was supposed to be $60 million. On the same day Jordan was getting married in Thunder Bay to long time girlfriend Heather. Congratulations by the way! Now the Penguins will have to sign star player Sidney Crosby by the summer of 2013 and league MVP Evgeni Malkin by the summer of 2014. Personally, I hope Sidney Crosby will agree to terms and stay with the Penguins. The Penguins wouldn't be the Penguins without Sid and Geno, in my opnion. The Staal brothers are playing on the same team since they were kids and now they will have the chance to see what it will be like in the NHL. Good luck to the both of you and to all the rest of the Staal brothers, Marc and Jared.

     Before I go I just want to say Congratulations to Joe Sakic, Pavel Bure, Adam Oates, and Mats Sundin for being accepted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto! Class of 2012! Way to reach the stars and be with the greats. It proves the sky isn't the limit because you can reach your stars.

       Thanks for reading another blog of Biscuits and Breezers. Every blog will be filled with updated hockey news, player reviews, and much more! Until next time don't get your breezers in a bunch because hockey is always around the corner. Remember it's always a great day for hockey and it's a lifestyle not just a sport!

Spotlight Player Emil Travergard       Biscuits and Breezers         Welcome back to another blog for Biscuits and Breezers! This is another post for the Spotlight Player series, and the player featured today, is a prime example of the defensive qualities that are capable in blue liners. Trending on an upward slope, this particular player brings fire to the ice as well as quite the chill. He may be an independent skater, but he is almost always his team's biggest supporter in the long run. The next Spotlight Player is Haninge Anchors defenseman Emil Travergard!     Emil Travergard - Haninge Anchors (D)   Height: 6 ft 2 in  Weight:  215 lbs Hometown: Stockholm, Sweden 2013-2014 Stats: 1 goal in 23 games played, 3 assists, 4 TPs, and 14 PIMs with Hammarby J20         While watching Travergard on the ice during his stay in the WSHL, he certainly brought a spar...

Jamie Zaleski Biscuits and Breezers    Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! Today you will be able to meet and get to know FHL Danville Dashers center Jamie Zaleski a little bit better. You don't come across a player very often that is so passionate about the sport that he takes immense pride in every game he plays or every time he represents his team, but today I believe I was able to talk to one of those chosen few. Jamie is an amazing player who beams passion and talent every time he walks onto the ice for a game and when you see him play, I guarantee that by the end of the game you will be as stunned as I was when I first watched a Dashers game. Zaleski is the perfect player seeing that he has the ideal combinations of aggressive and physical plays, speed, and can score whenever it needs be. I have seen some pretty aggressive players in my time but Jamie Zaleski is the definition of aggression out on the ice. His hits are almost alway...

#32   Biscuits and Breezers          Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! In this blog we will talk about the Oilers' team regrowth and Wild prospect Mario Lucia breaking his leg. Starting off with the Edmonton Oilers. I have recently talked about Taylor Hall's signing and now we have another. This time it's Jordan Eberle's turn. He was just inked to a 6 year $36 million contract extension on Tuesday. With one year left on his entry level contract, this extension will keep him as the new youthful generation of players until the 2018-2019 season. Hopefully with Nail Yakupov, Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, and Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, they can produce a team almost as good as in the Gretzky era. Just give them a few years and maybe they will rise up and become a main threat again. We will see! Good luck Jordan with the new contract! I am quite excited to see the upcoming team.     Next thing we will talk about is Ma...
