Rebels Get Overtime Win To Achieve Milestone

The Rebels scored in overtime against the Knowlton Gnashers to bring their win total to 6 which now gives them the most wins in a winter season in the history of the team, and the season isn't even half over! It wasn't their best game of the season; the communication wasn't there which lead to a lot of confusion as to where everyone should be positioned. Cody did open the scoring for the Rebels though and ended his 3 game scoring drought but the Gnashers answered back just a few minutes later to end the first half tied at 1. Not much happened in the second half until Kevin was able to bang the ball in after Mike and Scott took a few swipes at an open net with just over 2 minutes remaining. Then, with the their goalie pulled and the extra attacker on, the Gnashers were able to tie things up with just 8 seconds remaining to force overtime. The Gnashers took a body checking penalty early into OT with a hit on Kevin which would give the Rebels the powerplay for 5 minutes. The Rebels actually started communicating then and got set up in the zone. A quick pass back to Devin on the point and his slapshot past the goalie gave the Rebels the win.
