Rebels Lose to Ringers 6-2

The Rebels lost 6-2 to the Ringers. Despite the parade to the penalty box by the opponents we were still unable to capitalize even with two 5 on 3 powerplays. The loss leap frogs the Ringers ahead of the Rebels putting us in 5th place overall. With just one game left in the season the Rebels can still finish anywhere between 3rd and 6th place in the division.

Rebels Beat Les Gros Bec 4-2

The Rebels beat "The Big Kiss" for the second time this season with the final score this time around ending 4-2. Les Gros Bec got on the scoreboard first and the first half ended with them in the lead. 7 seconds into the second half the Rebels finally got on the board with a goal from Kyle. Exactly one minute later the Rebels took the lead off Kyle's second goal of the night. The French team managed to tie it up half way through the second and it stayed that way until five minutes left in the game when Scott tipped the ball past the netminder off a point shot from Curt. Les Gros Bec pressed hard in the last few minutes but Dustin, filling in for Nestor in goal, played well to keep the ball out even during a penalty kill and the opposing goalie out of the net. In the dying seconds of the game Mark fed a hail mary pass to Kyle coming out of the penalty box and he went in alone to score on an empty net to seal the deal and give him his hat trick. We now sit in third place in the division and with two games remaining we could still end up anywhere between 1st and 7th place overall.

Percentages Work Against The Rebels

5 Percent had a short bench to start the game and then went down even more when 3 players got ejected for unsportsmanlike conduct. So this should have been a case of us running them out of steam and then taking the easy win but it turned out the exact opposite. The Rebels just didn't have things going their way at any point of the game. Bad bounces, not capitalizing on a 5 minute powerplay and then a 5 on 3 powerplay etc resulted in a 5-2 loss. Scott and Dean were the only two contributers to the scoreboard and somehow, for the first time this season, Kyle and Kevin did not get any points at all. The loss now moves the Rebels to 4th place in the division.

Rebels Beat Razorbacks in Second Meeting

The Rebels beat the Razorbacks for the second time this year, this time the score ending 4-1. Kyle, Cody and Kevin all had 3 point nights and John added yet another of his shorthanded goals. The Rebels are in a tie for second place overall in the division and just 3 points out of first place. Two other teams are only 1 point behind us though and another one just 2 points behind. With just 4 games remaining the wins become even more crucial as it could be the difference between us finishing the regular season anywhere from first place to as low as seventh place.

Rebels Get "Free" Win

The Rebels got a win by default due to the Tin Bashers not having enough players show up to play the game. This "freebie" now puts us in a 3 way tie for second place overall in the division and just one point ahead of two other teams.
