Rebels know big changes needed to slow down Hurricanes
It goes without saying that the Red Deer Rebels need to change a few things if they hope to experience post-season success.
The Rebels were left licking their wounds after losses of 6-0 and 8-3 to the Lethbridge Hurricanes in games one and two of their opening round WHL playoff series over the weekend. Games three and four in the best-of-seven affair go Tuesday and Wednesday at the Enmax Centrium (7 p.m. game times).
One thing Rebels players know they need to correct, in a hurry, is the fact that Lethbridge has been the harder hitting team through two games.
“They’re being pretty hard on us, trying to bully us out of the rink and we’re letting them do it,” veteran forward Mason McCarty said Monday. “We don’t have any pushback. I know we’re young and don’t have a lot of playoff experience, but at this time of the year you can’t just rollover.”
