Biscuits and Breezers





   Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! I am terribly sorry that I have been away from here for quite awhile! I have been trying to establish things on my new page on juniorhockey.com, I have been helping with the scouting process of many teams, and I have been trying to get everything under control on the Biscuits and Breezers Facebook page. I thought that I needed a break from of all that and remembered there is much more NHL news to report to you guys, my beloved readers! Yes it is now the NHL offseason but we do have a new Stanley Cup Champion, and if you have been keeping up with the news at all, you would know that that team is the LA Kings!! Yes the Kings have dominated the league once again to prove they are a dominant organization after taking the Cup away from the grasps of the New York Rangers with a final score of 3-2 in a DOUBLE OVERTIME game. Those two overtime periods were absolutely wicked and really showed what playoff hockey was all about. Alec Martinez made the shot past Lundqvist that gave southern California their second cup in 3 years. Absolutely incredible. Anyway, congratulations to the LA Kings on their Stanley Cup win and I can't wait to see what next season brings!!!

LA KINGS ARE THE 2014 STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!!!!

  Now for the news! I won't be writing player reviews because I have to catch up on quite a bit of NHL headlines but next article I can promise you there will be reviews! Today I have for you 4 contract extension and 1 coach signing. On with the signings!

  The Montreal Canadiens have signed and agreed to terms with forward Dale Weise. Weise has been signed to a two-year contract in the midst of becoming a restricted free agent as of July 1st. The financial terms were not released. Alex Stalock (G) and Mike Brown (F) have both also signed two year contracts with the San Jose Sharks. Stalock would have become an unrestricted free agent on July 1st but will now remain in San Jose. The financial terms were not released but it is reported that Stalock will earn  $1.5 million in the 2014-2015 season and $1.7 million in the '15-'16 season. Brown, also signing a two year deal with the Sharks and avoiding UFA, will earn $1.15 million in the 2014-2015 season and $1.25 million the season after. Going up the great Canadian city of Edmonton, the Oilers have signed 22 year old Finnish forward Iiro Pakarinen to a two year entry level contract. No financial terms were released. Lastly, the Colorado Avalanche have re-signed forward Jamie McGinn. It is reported that McGinn will earn $2.9 million in the '14-'15 season and $3 million in the '15-'16 season.

  Last but not least, during the reconstruction of the Hurricanes coaching staff, the Canes have finally signed a new coach. That lucky candidate is no other than Detroit Red Wings assistant coach Bill Peters. Prior to coaching in Detroit, Peters has been behind the bench for the Rockford IceHogs in the AHL and the Spokane Chiefs in the WHL. Bill also interviewed with the Florida Panthers but decided to put pen to paper in Raleigh. Bill Peters will be filling the coaching position after the firing of Kirk Muller left it vacant. 

  That's all the news for today, 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 remember, 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!

Fight of the Year Biscuits and Breezers        Before I move on to anymore news, I wanted to feature a fight that I think should be up for a fight of the year in the WSHL. This scrap was between a beast from Missoula and a goon from Seattle. That's right Austin Azzinnaro and Piers LaFrance battled it out in Missoula's last home game and it was amazing. You should have seen these two go at it! It was a complete yard sale of mitts, twigs, and buckets, and by the time Auzzie was done with the Totem, LaFrance was thrown out of the rink looking like he had just met Ross "The Boss" Rhea from Goon. Azzinnaro was ejected in pure beauty style; waving to the roaring fans, excited as can be, and pumped for another round. It was an absolutely incredible fight and I have never seen a junior fight go down as sweet as that one did. Not to mention this was Austin's first tilly! He is a born fighter and obviously it comes by him naturally because the skills he ha

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 always cle
