Rebels Claw a Win From the Grizzlies

The Rebels playoff hopes are alive with a 9-5 win over the Grizzlies. It wasn't exactly a hard earned win considering the other team did not have a goalie and had to dress a player in borrowed equipment, but it was a win nonetheless. Matt got a hat trick (which is dedicated to Emily, by the way) and Dustin had a 4 point night with 2 goals and 2 assists. The Rebels are now in 11th place but tied in points with the 10th place Mafia and with just 3 games left it's going to come down to the wire. I think us making the playoffs is in the cards though... out stats show Cody has played 21 games, has 21 goals, and 21 assists. That must be some sort of sign no?! Either that or he needs to get to the casino ASAP and play some blackjack!

Rebels Lose to Hellions for Third Straight Time

In a schedule mix up the Rebels and Hellions ended up meeting a total of three times this season and unfortunately came up short all three times losing 9-5 in the latest match up. The Rebels did play well considering there was no goalie in net for the first 15 minutes. John was able to get some equipment and go between the pipes for the rest of the game and did pretty decent job. Dustin and Devin both played well tallying 3 points each; Dustin with the hat trick and Devin with a goal and two assists. With just 4 games left in the season there's still a strong chance to make the playoffs if we play hard enough.

Rebels Lose to White Phantoms

An evenly matched game, and a tough loss. In a game that showed a lot of Rebel grit, the Rebels battled back from an early two goal deficit to take the lead and hold it for the majority of the game. As a result of a bit of penalty trouble combined with some lucky bounces, the White Phantoms were able to squeak out a 6 to 5 win over the Rebels in the last five minutes of the game. Regardless of the loss, the team continued to show recent improvement with a 1-1-1 record over the last three games. The Rebels are currently in the 12th and last place but are only 3 points out of 8th so the last 5 games of the season are going to have to be hard fought in order to secure a spot in the playoffs.

Rebels and Bullies End in a Draw

With the history between these two teams we can always be sure of two things... it will be a clean game and it will be a close game, and this match up was no exception. The Rebels were up 2-1 at the half then added to their lead early in the second. The Bullies then scored two by the halfway mark to tie things up but the Rebels answered back with two of their own to tally the score at 5-3 with just under 3 minutes remaining. The Bullies then came back with two unanswered goals, 1 with 1:34 left and the tieing goal with just 36 seconds left to send it to overtime. Chances went back and forth between the two teams in OT but neither could capitalize and the game ended in a draw.
