London Kinghts vs. Barrie Colts
The series was tied 3-3. Game seven of the Ontario Hockey League finals. This was for everything.
The Knights were leading in the game but played too cautiously, protecting the lead in the last ten minutes. Barrie scored (of course) to tie the game with just a couple of minutes left. Cue the tension!
London cranked up the pressure again and managed to get what looked like a goal with .1 of a second left on the clock! Point One of a second - - Really??? That's as fast as a blink. After a lengthy video review to verify the goal and the game time, it was ruled a good goal!
There was a huge celebration in the arena. With virtually no time left on the clock the Knights were champions.
The Joy of Victory
The home team was jubilant, the fans were raucous, it was a party atmosphere as the referee signaled a good goal...
The Heartbreak of Defeat
A dejected, exhausted Barrie Colts team showed amazing team unity despite the crushing loss. This was a sweet indication of how hard these guys played for each other. They have no reason to hang their heads. They played well (despite missing two top players for the final game) and showed great sportsmanship.
The Hardware
Knights forward Bo Horvat was given the playoff MVP trophy. Then the Knights captain Scott Harrington was presented with the big trophy.

Congrats to the team on a great season. Now, on the Memorial Cup in Saskatoon!
Oh, one more thing....
Thanks to a very generous boss for the great suite seats during the Final Series! Go Knights Go!
