Jordan Eberle has officially been assigned to the Springfield Falcons, likely bringing an end to his junior career. Eberle ends his CHL career with 155 goals and 155 assists (no, seriously) in 254 games.

The Falcons haven't been nearly as sad-sack as usual: they've won two in a row by identical 5-4 scores and are actually above .500 in their last ten games (former Marc Pouliot teammate Jean-Philippe Levasseur won both weekend games in a shootout). Their next game is Friday at the home of the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton Penguins (33-29-2-3).

"Timrå did the team was forced to in order to reach the playoffs. Medelpadingarna Luleå defeated by 1-0 after Anton Lander made the game only goal. Anders Lindbäck saved all 35 shots he got against him and was perhaps the biggest reason for the victory. We can also observe that HV71 is the series winner for the playoffs.

"The first period was a dumb story, although both teams had several great chances to network. Luleå opened the match very well and poured shots of Anders Lindbäck in TIK-bin. Timrå'm up against the end of the period but then without being able to take the lead.

"After 40 minutes played, it was still quite still in ödesmatchen between Luleå and Timrå. The second period was like the first speechless. But Luleå had the upper hand and shot the most clear shot on goal.

"Six minutes into the last act came at last match the first goal and it was Timrå did. Laurent Meunier played forward Anton Lander, despite fierce guard could shoot the puck high into the net. Suddenly it became very urgent for Lulea that put it all forward. But Anders Lindbäck was absolutely incorruptible and stopped everything. Timrå won 1-0 and are ready for the playoffs."

Speeds at The Hockey Symposium says that any team interested in Tyler Seguin should take a long look at shooting percentages.

Rob Schremp injured his knee last night and will be done for the season. This is a really tough break for Schremp who was trying to establish himself at the NHL level. He finishes the year with 25 points in 44 games, a total that would leave him in fourth place on the Oilers in points-per-game behind only Penner, Gagner and Hemsky.
