Biscuits and Breezers' Stanley Cup Final Report


LA KINGS' CROWNING GLORY


          The LA Kings take the Stanley Cup for the first time in franchise history! Winning Game 6, 6-1, the Kings are celebrating in style with champagne and great memories.  Jonathan Quick was the winner of the Conn Smythe trophy and Dustin Brown was handed the cup by Gary Bettman, commissioner of the NHL. Dustin Brown, Jeff Carter, Matt Greene, and Trevor Lewis all contributed goals with Dustin Brown, Jeff Carter, and Trevor Lewis all making goals on Steve Bernier's 5 and 10 minute penalties. Dustin Brown, we saw tonight, is the perfect fit for a captain. He had to be big to win this game and he was gigantic having 2 assists and 1 goal. Drew Doughty, Mike Richards, Anze Kopitar, Dwight King, and Jarret Stoll all had assists and Jonathan Quick had 17 saves and a save percentage of .944. In my opinion, it was a bad idea when the Devils pulled Brodeur towards the end of the game because that just gave an easier opportunity of scoring to a team who was going to score anyway! Making goals in the first, second, and third periods, the Kings definitely knew they were going to win the Cup. In almost every Stanley Cup Final game, the first team to score usually wins the cup. This game is proof that the statement is true.

       On power plays, the Kings were a beast! In the post/playoff season, the Kings were the top leaders in power play goals. Working like a well oiled machine, they connected with each other and made things happen. As the great coach Herb Brooks once said, " Great moments are born from great opportunities." The Kings took that to heart, by making the most of every minute and shift they had on the ice. He also said, "This is your moment. You're mant to be here." Every member, player, staff, coach, and fan fit this description. Then what Al Michaels said at the 1980 Winter Olympics with the USA against the Soviet Union fit the mood at Staples Center," Five seconds left in the game. Do you believe in miracles? YES!" Yes we do. Now, it would be better if Sidney Crosby and Geno were hoisting the cup in Consol Energy Center, but that is just my opinion.

         The Devils looked very sad and disappointed when the buzzer rang at the end of the third period. Grizzled veteran Martin Brodeur had a special moment with "rookie" goaltender Jonathan Quick exachanging encouraging and private words and a special hug. Brodeur knows how special it is to win the Stanley Cup, being a three time winner himself. Watching the game last night, many of the players on the last shift on the ice in the third period basically knew that they could never catch up to the Kings in the last 5 minutes and started to wind down. You have to give credit to the Devils throughout the Finals forcing a Game 6 and playing some of the best offense. Great job to the Devils for trying their absolute hardest and giving it their all. *Round of applause* Great job and warmest  congrats to the LA Kings for winning their first Stanley Cup!!!

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...

Helena Bighorns   Interview (Credit to Google Images - pointstreaksites.com) Biscuits and Breezers    Welcome back to another blog of Biscuits and Breezers! In this blog we will be talking about a junior team that has been packed with speed, skill, and wicked aggression season after season; the Helena Bighorns. Until the announcement was made earlier this year that all AWHL teams would be moving to the NA3HL, the Helena Bighorns have been 9 time league champions, 7 times back to back. In 2011, they took home the hardware and were the Junior A National champions. Almost every season the team has made the long and rightfully earned trip to Nationals and almost every year they continue to amaze the nation. As each new season approaches, I have the constant thought "How are they going to top last year's roster?" Well every year they manage to absolutely blow me away. The skaters that have become part of the Bighorns family are definitely always the top ...
