Game Changer


When you've won 35 in a row, but you're down 0-2 in the first quarter how do you motivate your team. In the previous 35 straight wins they've been behind plenty of times and heard every rallying speech there is. Something will happen. It always does. Then one day it doesn't and you lose the championship game. Then the Detroit goalie made two good saves and came out motioning how great he was and nothing could get past him. Game Changer. The crowd got into it and the sleeping giant awakened. 1-2, 2-2, 3-2, 4-2, 5-2, 6-2...... to a 10-7 final. Sockers win their 36th game in a row and third straight league title.
