They lost their other 2 games 30-1 and 42-0. Bulgaria has a population of 7.4 million but only three indoor ice rinks and 37 registered female players. Here's the box score. Outscored 157-1 in 3 games... why even bother? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VM1138 1,921 Report post Posted September 8, 2008 I don't believe it. THat's not even physically possible, even if they were a peewee team playing an NHL team. ANd if they were terrible enough to lose that bad, no way they'd score that lone goal. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ANd if they were terrible enough to lose that bad, no way they'd score that lone goal. It's a goal every 44 seconds, definitely possible. I bet an NHL team would score around 350 goals on a pewee team if they actually tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SouthernWingsFan 854 Report post Posted September 8, 2008 Ouch. Just ouch is all I can say to a thorough butt-kicking like that. I'm not about quitting during a game, but after a while when you are getting dominating you eventually got to ask yourself how much more is it worth taking.

The mini-mites that do a shoot-out in between periods would totally kick the Wings ass, it's actually one of the things I look forward to going to the Joe to see. Cheering for those little guys is fun as hell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feldmarschall 9 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 You'd think the other girls would just lay off after a while, kind of relax. No need to run up that kind of score. I wonder, did they even dress a goaltender? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seeinred 1,488 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 A little more info. I'm totally jacking this from another board I'm on, so, uh, thanks Sack of Chisels. The game's final shots on goal were 139-0. Slovakia had 12 players record hat tricks, including one 10-goal scorer, one nine-goal scorer and four others with eight. Every skater was plus-22 or better, and forward Maria Herichova led the points parade with 18. Two Bulgarians finished the game minus-39. The IIHF has some good info on Bulgaria's hockey prowess. A nation of about 7.4 million, they have just 299 registered hockey players and only three indoor rinks. There are only 37 female players in the entire country. (Canada has about 74,000.) "What the Slovaks did to us was kind-of an insulting mockery, and is not at all sportsmanlike," the Chair of the Bulgarian Hockey Federation Dobromir Krustev commented after the game. Apparently there were fewer than 40 fans in the crowd for this barnburner. The score has also been confirmed as a record for a women's event. A few Bulgarian news sources are picking up the story today, and they're calling it "one of the biggest defeats in sporting history" and "nothing short of a national embarrassment."

selkie 10 Report post Posted September 9, 2008 Bulgaria should have never entered the tournament. They're an IIHF Division 5 team. For comparison, Turkey and South Africa are IIHF Division 4 women's teams. Slovakia is a Division 1 team, which is the level right below the USA, Canada, Russia, etc. It's not out of the question that Slovakia could play its way into the Olympics if this tournament goes well, and if they have to go to a tiebreaker in their pool against Italy or Croatia, then goal differential might have mattered. (both of those games against Bulgaria were like 30-40 goal margins) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
