The Thunder found ways to get out of an early deficit but fell short of finishing and face a 2-0 deficit, heading home in the Kelly Cup Finals after a 4-0 loss at Reading.

A chance at redemption is today (1:05 p.m. PT) in Game 2 of the Kelly Cup Finals in Reading. The Thunder looks for a 1-1 split before taking the series home.

Olivier Roy’s 43 saves and another monster rally just fell shy in a historic thriller. Reading escaped the Thunder, 6-5 in OT in Game 1 of the Kelly Cup Finals.
