Rebels Post Miracle Comeback, Again.

The Rebels came back from a 4-0 deficit versus the Entourage to win 5-4 in yet another comeback.The Entourage seemed to be getting all the bounces in the first half which resulted in them being up 4-0 going into the intermission. The Rebels didn't get discouraged though and even implemented their superstition of switching out the ball. It seemed to work because on the very next shift Scott was able to bang home a rebound of a shot from Steve from the top of the face off circle. Then on the following shift Ryan netted his first of the season to put the Rebels back in the running. Nine minutes later Matt tipped in a shot from the slot to bring the team to within one. The Rebels brought out everything they had to try and get the goal to even things up but it looked like it might have been stifled when Steve got a 4 minute slashing penalty with just a little over two minutes left in the game. The Entourage couldn't capitalize though and with 1:15 remaining in the game Dustin got a pass off to Scott who wristed it into the back of the net. The win places the Rebels 3rd overall in the division to end the regular season. This is the highet the Rebels have ever placed, not just in the winter league, but the summer as well! The Rebels now have an extended break as the have the by through the fist round of the playoff and will wait to play the winner between the Thunder and the Beerhunters.
