According to reports, unrestricted free agent forward Rob Schremp is headed to Sweden. The former first-round draft pick will play for MODO of the Swedish Elite League this upcoming season. The 25-year-old Schremp was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers in the first round (25th overall) of the 2004 NHL Entry Draft. In September of 2009, he was claimed by the New York Islanders and spent nearly two seasons on Long Island before being placed on waivers. He was claimed by the Atlanta Thrashers this past February but the club, now the Winnipeg Jets, did not tender a qualifying offer.

Jordan Lyles won for the first time in two months and the Houston Astros snapped a seven-game losing streak Friday night with a 3-1 victory over the sluggish Mets, giving Tony DeFrancesco his first win as a major league manager.(Sports Network) - Both Kobe Bryant and Mike Brown made calculated gambles by calling out Pau Gasol and Andrew Bynum as the Lakers prepare to host the deciding Game 7 in their Western Conference quarterfinals series with the Denver Nuggets. Catch the action live on TSN, beginning at 10:30pm et/7:30pm pt. Bryant, of course, missed the pre-game shootaround on Thursday for Game 6 with a stomach illness, but started and performed admirably nonetheless; tallying 31 points on 13-of-23 shooting in a 113-96 setback in Denver. He teammates, however, combined for just a 22-of-60 mark from the floor. "The reality of it is, both [Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol] have to play better in order for us to win," Brown said. "We going to have a tough time winning if we get the same type of production not just offensively but on the defensive end of the floor too." Bynum finished with just 11 points on 4-of-11 shooting while Gasol was even worse, finishing with three points on a 1-of-10 clip. Bryant was a little more nuanced in his criticism but also took an indirect shot at his supporting cast by talking up Metta World Peace, who has served the final game of his seven-game suspension for elbowing Oklahoma Citys James Harden and will available for Game 7. "Hes the one guy that I can rely on night in and night out to compete and play hard and play with that sense of urgency and no fear," Bryant said when talking about the former Ron Artest. "Im looking forward to having that by my side again." Hell need it against a Nuggets team that has proven to be deeper and far more athletic than L.A. to this point. Denver set the tone early in Game 6 and battled until the end of a wire-to- wire victory. Facing elimination in the best-of-seven set, Denver opened the contest on a 13-0 run and never looked back, leading by as many as 28. Ty Lawson netted 5-of-6 three-point attempts en route to a playoff career-high 32 points, Corey Brewer poured in 18 off the bench and Kenneth Faried continued his strong rookie campaign with 15 points and 11 boards. "Were going back to LA, were all going to stick together and just follow the game plan and make sure we come out strong, because we dont want to be down early and have to come from behind," Lawson said. The Pepsi Center crowd was amped up even more early in the third quarter of Game 6 when Bryant -- who was reportedly fatigued during the intermission -- drove his arm into the back of Farieds head while the rookie was in the air during a drive to the hoop and unable to defend himself, earning a flagarant-1 foul. Faried shook off the play and returned energized, hitting both flagrant free- throows and knocking down a jump hook a bit later before blocking the 7-foot Bynums layup attempt.dddddddddddd All told, the Nuggets responded to Bryants foul with an 11-4 run for their first 20-plus point lead of the night. "I dont think [Bryant] tried to do it, I think it just came out that way," said Nuggets head coach George Karl, who will be celebrating his 62nd birthday on Saturday. "But it definitely gave us an extra level of energy, an extra level of intensity, an extra level of momentum that carried probably for seven or eight minutes into a big lead." History was against Karls club before this series even started. Denver and the Lakers had met in the playoffs on five different occasions previously (1979, 85, 87, 2008, 09) with the Lakers advancing each time, most recently defeating the Nuggets 4-2 in the 09 Western Conference finals en route to the franchises last NBA title. Meanwhile, after the Lakers took the first two games of the set, the Nuggets had to deal with the fact that L.A. is a gaudy 42-1 in its storied history when taking that kind of lead in a best-of-seven series. Also, only eight NBA teams have won a series after trailing 3-1, the last of which was the 2006 Phoenix Suns when they defeated the Lakers. That said, while history is on the Lakers side, so is the pressure. "Theyre going to run Mike Brown first out of town [if L.A. loses Game 7]," Former Lakers superstar Magic Johnson said as an ESPN NBA analyst on Friday. "Then second will be [Andrew] Bynum. Then third will be [Pau] Gasol." Pressed by others in the studio, Johnson, who sold his 4.5 percent ownership stake in the Lakers in 2010 but remains on the franchises payroll as a vice president, became even clearer. "Mike Brown will not be coaching the Lakers if they lose this game," Johnson said. "There would be so much pressure on Jim Buss and the Laker organization to get rid of him." Brown, meanwhile, continued to accentuate the need for Bynum and Gasol to play at a high-level. "Whether its fair or not, I just think (Bynums) that good," Brown said. "If he wasnt that good, then I wouldnt ask that of him or expect it of him. Same with Pau. I think Pau is that good. We got two bigs that are very, very talented bigs and they can impact the game in a lot of different ways." No player on the Nuggets roster has ever taken part in a Game 7, while the Lakers have plenty of experience in such situations. Bryant is 4-1 in Game 7s and teamed with Gasol, Bynum and World Peace among others to take out Boston during the final game of the 2010 NBA Finals. Denvers last appearance in a Game 7 was a loss in the 1994 Western Conference semifinals to Utah. [url=http://www.cheapchinajerseynfl.us.com/]cheap jerseys cheap nfl jerseys ' ' '
