Rebels in good shape despite tough weekend
This past weekend was a rough one for the Red Deer Rebels, but they still moved closer to their goal of earning a WHL playoff spot.
The Rebels were outplayed in three straight games last weekend, including their 5-4 shootout win at home Friday over Kootenay followed by a 6-1 loss Saturday in Medicine Hat and a 6-2 shocker Sunday in Calgary.
Despite those setbacks, the magic number (any combination of points earned by the Rebels and/or lost by Kootenay) for Red Deer to clinch a playoff spot went from nine to four.
