Game Notes
- Kamloops finished Game 2 with De Palma in net, but returned to Mullen in Game 3, as he was stellar in taking down Osoyoos Coyotes.
- Tyson Brouwer started for Kimberley.
- Injuries/Scratches: in the boxscore Wallace was listed, but Taylor Rocca of the Kimberley Bulletin reported that Wallace was injured and Hunt returned in his place. Mallard, Campanella, Pagura.
1st
Kimberley had an early opportunity to take a lead going on the PP 14 seconds into the game. But they were unable to on the large Olympic-size ice. With all that space, the period was fast paced. That showed through on the Dynamiters first goal that came on another PP chance midway through the period. Gordon burst through into the zone carried the puck to the net and got his shot off, the rebound was retrieved by Rosolowsky and deposited it. The physical play picked up, peaked with a hit by Kinnon at the Storm blueline. The Storm and Nitro's tied in shots 10-10.
2nd
The Storm have been deadly this series on the PP, and they got their first opportunity this period. The Dynamiters worked hard and were able to kill the penalty. Kimberley got a 5-on-3 PP chance as two Storm players were penalized within ~40 seconds of each other. None other than Braden Saretsky, scored on the PP as time whittled down on the 5-on-3. He didn't score in style like he usually does, unless this was planned, but he fanned on his first shot, and then snipe'd in his second attempt. Giving the Dynamiters a 2-0 lead with 5 minutes left in the period. Kimberley held on to their lead for the remainder of the period, while Kamloops led in shots 8-6 in the period.
3rd
Kimberley Dynamiter fans everywhere were praying that they would hold onto, or build on their lead, to take a commanding 3-0 series lead. Kamloops, though, in their desperation, had a different plan. On a miscommunication behind the net, the Storm took control of the puck in the Nitro's end, and made a play from one side of the net to the other to beat Brouwer. Minutes later during a flurry of shots, Kamloops scored on a rebound, tying the game with 5 minutes left. With that, this game was headed to overtime. Kamloops led in shots 13-7.
OT1
The first 10 minute period. Kamloops got a majority of their chances on icing calls against a tired Nitro's line. Saretsky and Richter got a 2-on-1 chance but could not capitalize. The game stayed tied at two, and the ice got fresh layer put on.
OT2
There was a massive #KABOOM! online, cheering the Dynamiters on hoping for a win in their favour. Kamloops and Kimberley swapped several chances, including breaks at both ends. Buckley had a notable breakaway as he hovered at the Storms blueline, but couldn't beat Mullen. Kamloops broke in on a two-on-two. The player carrying the puck slowed his speed to the top of the right circle, while the other Kamloops player crashed towards the net. The puck was shot, got caught up in the Storm player in front of the net, when the puck dropped on the ice he back hand swatted it in, giving the Storm the victory. Kamloops led in OT shots 9-6.
Kimberley still holds the edge in the series 2-1. Talking with people before the game, we felt Game 3 was the game to lose (if we had to lose one) in order to win at home in Game 5 on Friday.
Kamloops still remains undefeated at home in the post-season, now going 9-0. Game 4 is tonight in Kamloops.
Dynamite Player of the Game
Alex Rosolowsky - 1G. I've been impressed with his work ethic, allowing him good timing, and showing up to bang home a rebound.
Honorable Mentions
Tyson Brouwer - 37 save performance
Braden Saretsky - 1G
Jared Marchi - 1A continuing his helping ways
