It wasn't such a great night for the home fans. However, there were enough Rebels' (visitors) fans in the building that one could say it was THEIR home ice! The game started off slow with no scoring in the 1st period. The 2nd period was when the Red Deer Rebels lifted off on their scoring, netting 4 goals in the 20 minute frame. They continued to play solid defense until about 3/4 in to the 3rd period when the Oil Kings would strike, killing what would've been the 1st playoff shutout for Darcy Kuemper. Being up by 3 goals, the Oil Kings STILL pulled their netminder with less than 4 minutes to go. This is rarely done when a team trails by 3 or more goals. Nevertheless, the Red Deer Rebels received an automatic empty-net goal while Brett Ferguson was tripped on the breakaway. That gave the Rebels a 5-1 victory win to sweep the Edmonton Oil Kings 4-0. The Rebels will now wait for the other matchups to finish before they begin Round 2.
