Rebels Drown Beerhunters in Miracle Comeback

Write up by Cody:

Compare this Rebels game to the Miracle on Manchester game between the Oilers and Kings back in 1982. The Beerhunters came up strong against short benched Rebels team along with Ryan playing as back-up goalie for his first time since Nov. 18, 2008 having yet won a game. The Rebels were down 5-0 16:38 into the 1st half, after a few softies were let in by ryan, and the lack of chemistry and posistioning throughout the line-up. Steve then opened the scoring for the rebels late in the first half with an unassisted slap shot. Bringing some momentum to the 2nd half the Rebels came out hard, playing their positions well and preventing the Beerhunters from getting many shots on net. With 2 goals from Kevin, a goal each from Paul and Barry, and the game winner from Dean knotched the Rebels towards the win. Another reason for the comeback would be the Beerhunters suffering a frustrating 64 PIM in the second half, while all 17 PIM of the Rebels 2nd half were served by Cody. The Rebels are now locked up in 3rd spot still 4 pts out of 1st place.
