Enter the password "BATSXPEB".  The "X" will turn into a heart and then 
pressing "OK" brings up a Bat cartoon with the lines

YES SIR.
NO SIR.
THREE BAGS
FULL SIR.

Then when you go to the play game screen, you can choose a new team from 
Group D:  "The Bats", which has *perfect* stats! Two notes: if you try to 
re-enter the password BATSXPEB then you get a still pic of a bat (sleeping?) 
with the message

BORING.

Also, the Bats are an American team, since the anthem played for them
is the US National Anthem.  (There is also some color change of the
LA Kings uniform, possible others... but I am not familiar enough
with these teams to know... we don't see much Hockey down here in
New Orleans...).
