Comeback kids: Rangers force Game 7 in dominant win over Spitfires

The Kitchener Rangers are now one win away from completing a Hollywood-like comeback against the Windsor Spitfires after a dominant performance in Game 6 on Sunday night.

The Blueshirts have tied their second-round series against the Spitfires at three games apiece with a bullish 4-0 win, which included a pair of goals from Rangers forward Jack Pridham.

The Aud was electric on Sunday night as more than 6,000 fans gave the East Avenue Blue the boost they needed to earn the win on home ice.

“Not even 30 seconds into the game, the fans are chanting ‘Let’s go Rangers’, that passes the goosebumps test,” said 570’s Colour Commentator Paul Fixter. “The players hear that, they get energized by that. Good on you Rangers fans. There’s a reason there’s a banner in the stands that says number one fans. You deserve it.”
