Rebels Get Burned by Hellions

The Rebels were handed their fourth straight loss after being beaten by the Hellions 11-4. With a short bench it was only a matter of time until the Hellions took over. The game was tied at 2 until mid way through the first half which was around the time the Rebels started losing their wheels. The Hellions took advantage and started running circles around us and scored another 9 goals while we could only net 2 more. Hopefully a better turn out to next game will help bring a win over the 5th place Grizzlies.

Rebels Downed by Juggernots 7-1

The Juggernots had been re-tiered but unfortunately for the Rebels that would not happen until after the two teams played each other. It was mostly a one sided affair for the opposing team who downed the Rebels 7-1. We were outplayed for most of the game but started to get some wheels going in the last 5 minutes and with that momentum Kevin was able to break the shut out with a powerplay goal assisted by Cody and Devin. Next up is the rematch against the 8th place Hellions who won the previous meeting by a score of 3-1.

Rebels Play OT for the Fourth Straight Time

The Rebels played in their fourth straight overtime game but failed to come up with a win, losing to the Bullies 5-4. The game was well played with Cody getting 2 goals and Matt, Dean, and Kevin ending up with 2 points each. At one point we were up by two goals but just could not hold on to that lead in the end. On a positive note, the Rebels are undefeated in regular time which means they are 2nd only to the Outcast who are currently 3-0-0-0. Another positive is that more re-tiering has happened and that actually boosted us from 8th to 5th place overall in the standings. The division is looking much more competitive and if we can just start clicking a little better we could easily be on top.

An early goal in the second half put them up by two but then the Rebels came back with three goals in 4 minutes to bring the score to 5-4 in our favour. The Crown Royals then came back with two goals within a 2 minute span to retake the lead. The Rebels then tied it up with 5 minutes remaining and sent the game to overtime. It looked like it would be just a matter of time until we scored based on the amount of chances we had but then with a lucky break out and burst of speed by the Royals they were able to end the game with 2:25 remaining. That now brings the lifetime record between our teams to 3-2 in favour of the Crown Royals. Our next game is versus another long time rival, the Bullies, who we are split 3 and 3 against.
