Slovakia routs Bulgaria 82-0 in women’s hockey


(AP)—With more goals than minutes in the game, Slovakia’s women’s ice hockey team claimed an amazing 82-0 victory over Bulgaria in Olympic qualifying.

Slovakia outshot the Bulgarians 139-0 during the 60-minute game, played in Latvia. The margin of victory is a record for a women’s International Ice Hockey Federation-sanctioned event.

“We took it as training,” Slovakia coach Miroslav Karafiat said after Saturday’s game.

Janka Culikova led Slovakia with 10 goals, while Martina Velickova scored nine. Fourteen different players scored at least one goal.

Slovakia, which also beat Croatia, Latvia and Italy, advanced to another qualifying group with Germany, Kazakhstan and France. The winner will secure a spot at the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.

Bulgaria was eliminated after scoring one goal and giving up conceding 192 in the tournament.

The Slovakian men’s team clinched its biggest ever victory against the Bulgarians 14 years ago when they won 20-0.

Was that the first game the Bulgarians ever played or what?

10 goals shy of the S.Korea vs. Thailand game. (Korea won 92-0)

Real hockey players don't run up the score like that. Totally unsportsman like. You stop trying to so hard after about 10 and stop trying to score after 15 or 20.

That score is gross...who takes pride in utterly humiliating your opponent?

Game should have been called after 10-15 goals, the opponents were quite obviously NOT olympic material.
