Game three of Kitchener Rangers vs Barrie Colts came and went in Sunday night showdown that marked a fork in the road for the two teams.
On May 10, Barrie Colts got their first chance to play host at Sadlon Arena in the OHL Championship Series finals, adding a third tough loss after the first two at "The Aud."
Game one was all Kitchener, while game two went back and forth until Matthew Andonovsky scored the overtime game-winner that was only brought about by a last-second tying goal in the third period by Colts captain Kashawn Aitcheson. He matched that on Sunday with another buzzer-beater to tie it up with just 12 seconds remaining.
Aitcheson played about 45 minutes in game two and matched that in game three.

And after the review, it was officially still not a goal.

It only took 10 seconds for the puck to hit the back of the net.
After the goal was scored, they reviewed a potential high stick to the puck by Dylan Edwards as it came down off the boards and bounced down. O'Reilly earned his scoring opportunity in the resulting play.
It was called no goal after the review due to the high stick.
The penalty kill resumes!

KIT 0, BAR 0
Von Richter gets the first shot on Christian Kirsch to open the game three excitement.
