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.

A win for Barrie at home could have marked a tide shift in the momentum as the Colts look to continue their underdog run to raise the J. Ross Robertson Cup.

For the Rangers a win on the road tonight meant being just one more game away from a clean sweep to the 2025-26 OHL title that they haven't earned since 2008.

Lam Wraparound Under Review, Deemed No Goal - 3:36 1st

KIT 0, BAR 0 

After the overturned goal, Colts kept Rangers away from their end without much trouble. Shots were even at 5 a piece for the moment.

Shortly after it came to a close, Tanner Lam had a shot on Hrebik that he thought was closer than the referees thought. They had a look to review the goal—it was called no goal on the ice.

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

O'Reilly Knocked It In On The Power Play, Goal Waved Off - 6:04 1st

It only took 10 seconds for the puck to hit the back of the net.
