Rebels destroyed 9-1 by powerhouse Tigers

Oct 13, 2019 | 9:46 AM

It was not a pretty night for the Red Deer Rebels who were scored on three times in each period while on the road Saturday in Medicine Hat.

The lone bright spot came early as Josh Tarzwell scored 1:48 after the opening puck drop, but his 5th of the season was actually an equalizer. The Tigers’ Daniel Baker had potted his 2nd of the year only 33 seconds in.

At 4:06, Baker got his second of the night, and Caleb Willms made it 3-1 at the 12:46 mark.

In the second, Tigers captain James Hamblin scored his 5th while shorthanded, then Ryan Chyzowski got his 6th on the powerplay. Cole Sillinger also got his 6th before the period was out and it was 6-1 headed to the third.

Early on, Sillinger scored again, and it seemed like the tide had mercifully been stemmed, but Medicine Hat poured salt in the wound with two more goals in the final three minutes of play.
