Rebels Finally Get a Win

The Rebels got their first win of the season with a 2-1 decision over the Entourage. The Entourage got the lead early in the first half and the Rebels weren't able to answer back until the dying minutes of the game. The Rebels went on a 4 minute powerplay with just under 5 minutes to go and got numerous chances during that time. Kevin was finally able to knock the ball in during a scramble in front of the net to tie the two teams up. Then, on the last rush of the game, Dustin was able to get a pass off to Kevin who snapped a screened shot past the Entourage netminder with just 3.2 seconds remaining to give the Rebels the win. The main reason for the win however was the due to the play of our goaltender. Nestor made highlight reel save after highlight reel save to keep the Rebels in the game.

Don't forget the leader of the team Scott with his inspirational speech. When I left the dressing room one of the people from the other team made a comment that we should try arguing more on the bench. I hope we as TEAM can come together and play as a team for the rest of the season and learn from that game. We won that game because at the end we were playing together and passing the ball. No one was arguing or blaming each other for the mistakes that people we making. It ended up being a good effort to stop the ball and pass it then another good effort to score. I think we came together and won as a team in the end. Go Rebels GO
