The youngest team in the league have started to pick it up, with three wins in a row, including a 7-2 rout of the Regina Pats. The Rebels have a heck of a lot of talent on this team now, arguably the most they've had since the Memorial Cup win. Sure, they are not going to fare all that well against an elite team like the Hitmen but, then again, not too many teams in this league will. After saying that there were some signs in the Rebels-Hitmen game in Red Deer that it could be another good rivalry this season. Yes, the Rebels are young, there will be growing pains but there is the chance that J.D. Watt will get to play a few big games before this season is out. I like Brian Sutter as coach too. He's not quite as defensively rigid as his younger brother.

I like the Hitmen trade. Dansereau, as much as I rate him, simply had to be moved. Postma is a good pickup. Kisio did well here I think and has been getting better as coach and GM for a while now. Any love for Kisio yet, Snakeeye?
