That’s “Cimad-A’More”.
Overage forward Julian Cimadore tied the game in the third period and then scored the overtime winner to give the Kitchener Rangers the 1-0 series lead over the Saginaw Spirit.
Rangers’ Brandon Maxwell played well in the win stopping 27-of-29 shots.
It was his counterpart though Edward Pasquale taking first star honours last night at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium stopping 51-of-54 Ranger shots.
The Rangers didn’t start the way they wanted to in the opening game of the 2009-2010 OHL playoffs.
At the end of the first period they found themselves down 2-0.
Under five minutes into the second though, Jason Akeson pulled the Blueshirts within one.
Enter Cimadamore.
The Concord, Ontario native tied the game with a short-handed marker from Matt Tipoff, sending the game to overtime.
Just over a minute into the extra-frame Cimadamore would do it again, taking another pass from Tipoff and securing the 3-2 overtime victory.
The Rangers travel to Saginaw today for game two at 7:11.
