Rebels Come Back to Beat Scared Hitless in OT

Instead of playing well in the first half and not in the second being the norm for the Rebels, it seems that has reversed as the team has made quite a few big comebacks this season. This game was another example as they came back from deficit late in the game to tie things up then ended up winning in overtime. Doven scored the even up goal with just under a minute and half left in the game then Steve won it it overtime with his trademark point shot. Neal, Jesse, Matt and Steve all tallied 2 points a piece in the victory.   

Rebels Get Blanked by Invasian

The Rebels were hoping to improve on the close game in their last match up with Invasian but instead ended up getting trounced by a score of 7-0. Red did have their chances but weren't able to put the opposing goalie to the test enough to add some numbers on the scoreboard.

Rebels Win Nail Biter Against Crown Royalers

 The Crown Royalers struck first just 39 seconds into the game but Shiv answered back to tie the game up. The 2 teams traded goals back and forth again with Paul scoring from behind the net by banking it off the goalie's shin and in. The opposition got 2 more goals in the dying minutes of the first though to give them a 4-2 lead going into the second. The Rebels answered back in the second though on goals by Doven and Paul to even things up once again. The Crown Royalers were able to beat Nik again a few minutes later to retake the lead. In the dying seconds with Nik out of the net for extra attacker the Rebels put the pressure on and were rewarded with a goal from Mason with just 2 seconds left in regulation to tie things up again and force overtime. In the extra frame Darren pinched up from defense and managed to score giving his team the win and a much deserved 2 points.   

Rebels Sweep COBRA

The Rebels were unbeaten in 4 regular season matches versus COBRA ending with a 5-3 win in their last match up. Mason scored the first 3 goals for the Rebels giving him a natural hat trick. James was next to find the back of the net and from there looked as though the team would run away with the win but COBRA managed to get 3 goals in a row to bring the gap to just one. The opposition pulled their goalie to add more pressure but Scott was able to secure the win in the dying seconds with an empty netter.

Rebels Finally Beat Naughty Babay

The Rebels have had a tough time against Naughty Babay losing both of their previous match ups but this game would end in their favour. The Rebels were up 2-1 at the half on goals by Jesse and Roger but gave up the lead early in the second as the opposition was able to beat Nik twice to take the lead. The Rebels answered back shortly after with a goal from Adam then with 2 minutes left Steve was able to find the twine and give his team the win. Steve and Scott both ended the game with 2 points each.

Rebels Make Miracle Comeback

The Rebels found themselves down 5-1 after the first half with only Josh managing to find the back of the net. It looked like the game was out of their reach but instead of giving up they dug deep. Scott started off the scoring in the second half followed by Neal, then Mason, then Darren. Four straight goals by the Rebels tied it up then Neal sealed the comeback to give his team a 6-5 win and one of their best games ever. Neal, Scott, Maj and  Darren all ended the night with 2 points a piece.

Rebels Step Up Against Invasian

The Rebels had a 2-1 lead going into the second half versus Invasian on goals from Scott and Mason. Unfortunatley the opposition was able to get 2 shorthanded goals within a minute of each other to take a 3-2 lead. The Rebels didn't give up though and had a flurry of chances near the end but came up just short. Even though it was a loss, it was still a solid effort for Red and huge difference in play from the blowout that they suffered in the previous match up.

Rebels go to Shoot Out for Second Game in a Row

It was the same score as the previous game but this time not in favour of the Rebels. Nestor stepped in for the absent Nik and played a very solid game. He only allowed one goal in during the shoot out but no players for Red were able to find the back of the net resulting in the 2-1 loss.

Rebels Win in Shoot Out

It was a very tight game between COBRA and a depleted Rebels' roster. Curt stepped in net for just the second time during his tenure and rose to the challenge. He made a few highlight reel saves including a fantastic looking glove save that he himself didn't even know he had until he looked in his glove and saw the ball there. Both teams traded goals in each half and nothing was sloved in overtime so the game required a shoot out to determine the victor. Shiv and Jesse both scored for Red while Curt was the hero and stopped both shooters for COBRA.  

Rebels Get Blanked

The Rebels were unable to get on the scoreboard due to the trap system that their opponent was using. Naughty Babay got the lead early then sat back and wasted the clock as much as they could. That seemed to frustrate the Rebels even more leading to mistakes which, in turn, lead to a 4-0 loss.
