QUICK BITS
1999 IS NOTHING MORE THAN A MEMORY
The Swamp Rabbits currently hold the best starting record in franchise history. With their 3-2 win over the Florida Everblades on Saturday, November 11, the Rabbits improved to 7-1-0, surpassing the Johnstown Chiefs’ 1999-2000 record of 6-2-0 in their first eight games.
DEFENDING THE WELL
With their second consecutive win over the Florida Everblades–the reigning Kelly Cup Champions, the Swamp Rabbits kept their perfect record while playing at Bon Secours Wellness Arena intact. With the win, Greenville remains undefeated in all six home contests, outscoring visitors 21-11.
WELCOME BACK, INO
Tyler Inamoto netted his first two goals in as many games against the Florida Everblades. His first was on Friday, November 10, just 1:56 into the game, to give the Rabbits an early 1-0 lead. The following day, down 2-1 against the same opponent, Inamoto wristed a shot to the top left to level the score at 2-2 with 7:20 left in the middle frame.
BIG TIME BOBBY
Bobby Russell has netted the game-winning goal against the Everblades in back-to-back games. Last night’s goal came 4:29 into overtime to keep the Rabbits perfect at home. The goal gave the Rabbits two points in the standings and lifted Russell into a tie with Atlanta’s Luke Prokop for the most game-winners in the ECHL by a defenseman (2).
