game reCOPE: The Philadelphia Reapers complete the comeback and defeat the Kings in seven games! What an electric series I was definitely watching and a great storyline to tell my future kids about. With all three goals coming on a Reapers powerplay, we'll have to see how the Mexico City coach and management change their gameplan in the future season. Will they continue to goon it up, allowing 9 powerplays in the series deciding game, or will they change to a more disciplined form? Only time will tell!
