a) Period 1 b) Period 2 c) Period 3 d) Periods 1 & 2 e) Periods 1, 2 & 3
Question 2 True or False
In that same game, also in typical fashion, Rebel penalties did not impact the outcome of the game.
Question 3 True or False
When the Rebels have strong forechecking and backchecking by the forward lines, great defence, and strong goaltending, it has a big impact on the goals against.
Question 4 True or False
In the playoff game on Saturday, the Rebels scored two goals – one by Mason Hanna (unassisted) and one by Jay Rourke from Noah McNab. This represents an increase in goals for compared to their average goals for in the regular season.
Question 5 True or False
In the playoff game on Saturday, the Rebels had five goals scored against them. This represents a decrease in the goals against compared to their average goals against in the regular season.
Answers:
1. d) The game was tied at 1 after the first period, and the score was 3-2 after the second. Blyth-Brussels scored two more goals in the third to put the game out of reach.
2. False. The Rebels had four penalties in the third, one of them costing a goal, and the others nullifying man advantages or causing the Rebels to play shorthanded, taking away offensive opportunities.
3. True. This triple threat has been the hallmark of the Rebels’ game play and makes them fierce contenders when they can keep the penalties under control.
4. False. But they came close! The average goals for in the regular season was 2.4. One more goal would have put them over the average.
5. True. The average goals against for the season was 6.5. The Rebels have been bringing this number down in post-season play, capping the goals against at 5.
If you scored four or more out of five, you know your Rebels. Thanks for being a true-blue fan!
