Jesus, you would have thought they'd have given them mercy. 82-0 - I think I would have stopped at 10.
1 word - OUCH
Just looked at the stats - in the last 3 mins of the game Slovakia had 2 penalty shots and 2 empty netters. Surprised it took the Bulgarians that long to give up.
There was also 2 match penalties 10 secs from the end, 1 on each side.

who are Slovakia's best and well known ice hockey players, both current and retired? I think the biggest Slovak players at the mo are Marian Hossa, Ladislav Nagy, Miroslav Satan, Marian Gaborik. Old school the only one I know of is Stan Mikita. If you really wanna know about Slovak hockey, have a word with Martinski83. He even knows a few Slovak players  Oh and don't forget the Slovakian Express Matus Petricko!  |

I wonder if there were any bulgarian fans at the game, and if they stayed till the end. The fans certainly got their moneys worth in terms of goals. Probably about 1 Koruna (around 3 pence) per goal , working out at - very loosely? |

According to a post on THF, Bulgaria only have 30-something female hockey players, so it's an achievement for them to get a squad to compete.

I think one of them played in germany or france last season or season before and it's a goalie but a name doesnt spring to mind. |

I notice that the bulgarian starting netminder was chased from the game @56.30. Jusy ater conceeding her 77th goal!!  On a more neutral note there is a link to a Bulgarian news agency which gives a brief resumee of the tournament. You will not that they also lost 41 - 0 to Italy, 39 - 0 to Latvia and 30 -1 to Croatia. Yes they have managed a goal at least to celebrate. Starting netminder Lyubomira Shosheva made a total of 200 saves from 367 shots and the back up is a 16 year old girl. Still kudos to them for assembling a team and taking part in the true Olympic spirit. |
