Rebels sneak out shootout win over Kootenay
It happens sometimes that a hockey team sneaks out a win despite putting forth a less than stellar effort.
The Red Deer Rebels can attest to this as they came away with a 5-4 shootout victory over the Kootenay Ice, who were the superior team for much of Friday night’s game at the Enmax Centrium.
“We never really played all that well here tonight. In the first two periods we had a lot of turnovers, we were second on pucks and weren’t great in our own zone,” Rebels GM/head coach Sutter said afterward.
“Our neutral zone play tonight, we had a lot of turnovers. We’re fortunate enough to get a win and two points. We’ll take it. It wasn’t one of our better games in the last month.”
