Fred T. Jane Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Borat would be proud.http://www.bangkokpost.com/breaking_news/b...s.php?id=116405Thailand in Olympics-era hockey recordChangchun, China (BangkokPost.com, Agencies)Kazakhstan beat Thailand 52-1 to wrap up their ruthless march through the group stage of the Asian Games ice hockey tournament yesterday. A search of records indicated the game was the highest scoring match in Olympics history.Kazakhstan is currently ranked 11th in the world in the sport. Thailand is unranked.Other tops teams have taken it easy against the amateurs from warmer countries but the pre-tournament favourites scored 17 goals in the first period, 20 in the second and eased up only slightly to score 15 in the last third of the game.The scoring was spread fairly evenly through the roster and Oleg Yeremeyev took the biggest haul with seven goals inside the first two periods as Kazakhstan added this rout to a 38-0 drubbing of the UAE.Pongsak Phiewklam and Jason Cotsmire, who shared goaltending duties for the Thais, also stopped 39 shots between them and Thailand at least prevented the shutout when Arthit Thamwongsin hit the target after 47.15.Kazahstani goalie Sergey Ogureshnikov ended up with a poor saves percentage - just four of five shots by the Thais. Kazakhstan go through to the next round as comfortable winners of group B having scored 90 goals to just the one against.The highest score in an NHL game was when the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Quebec Bulldogs 16-3 in 1920.In the 1924 Winter Olympics at Chamonix, France, Canada defeated Czechoslovakia 30-0, Sweden by 22-0, Switzerland 33-0 and Great Britain 19-2.At the Winter Olympic Games in St Moritz, Switzerland in 1928, Canada earned a gold medal in hockey when the University of Toronto Varsity Grads romped to victory, winning all three games by scores of 11-0, 14-0, and 13-0.High Five! [Croatia National Team Manager Slavan] Bilic then went on to explain how Croatia's success can partially be put down to his progressive man-management techniques. "Sometimes I lie in the bed with my players. I go to the room of Vedran Corluka and Luka Modric when I see they have a problem and I lie in bed with them and we talk for 10 minutes." Maybe Capello could try getting through to his players this way too? Although how far he'd get with Joe Cole jumping up and down on the mattress and Rooney demanding to be read his favourite page from The Very Hungry Caterpillar is open to question. --The Guardian's Fiver, 08 September 2008 Attention: In order to obtain maximum enjoyment from your stay at the CCSLC, the reader is advised that the above post may contain large amounts of sarcasm, dry humour, or statements which should not be taken in any true sort of seriousness.

jkrdevil Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 You would think that they would have called off the dogs at least so that their players didn't get hurt. Then again it doesn't look like they have much competition in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zig Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 HIGH FIVE!!!!No but really if that is not running up the score then I don't know what is. Who has been the best team they beat so far? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclopsis Joe Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I want to see them in the Olympics. I would love to watch those cocky punks get owned by some obscure European country like Sweden or Canada.(Edit: Thanks firefox, spellchecked me because I didn't capitalize European, but didn't say anything when I misspelled Sweden...)

-Helix- Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 HIGH FIVE!!!!No but really if that is not running up the score then I don't know what is. Who has been the best team they beat so far?They've only played UAE and Thailand so far.They advanced to the playoff round though and will play China, Japan, and South Korea.Kazakhstan is the favorite to win. Though Japan and South Korea are not playing with full strength rosters because they didn't allow their Asia League players to go. Normally, Kazakhstan would have more competition since Japan is pretty good at full strength. (Japan won the last Asian Winter Games I believe)Japan is still most likely to finish second with China probably finishing third.I want to see them in the Olympics. I would love to watch those cocky punks get owned by some obscure European country like Sweden or Canada.They WERE in the Olympics this past year. And since when are Sweden and Canada obscure European countries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezus_Ghoti Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 I want to see them in the Olympics. I would love to watch those cocky punks get owned by some obscure European country like Sweden or Canada. Kazakhstan was in the last Winter Olympics and fared pretty well againt the hockey powers.Also, Sweden is hardly obscure, and Canada isn't in Europe.Edit: Ouch, my slow typing skills cost me the chance for the burn.

If they play Canada dont you think the mindset would be something like "Hey, arent these are the jokers who bullie a bunch of scrub teams? Lets show em some REAL hockey!!!"Not really. Kazakhstan's worst (and only) loss to Canada in international play was 4-1 in the Quarterfinals in the 1998 Olympics. They're not bad, considering that their only NHLer is Nik Andropov.

Squeaks4 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 How does this even happen? Did Thailand not have a goalie? Incredible.(On a side note) For the love of all thats Holy, can the Borat references please stop. Don't get me wrong, I love Borat (and have since the original Ali G show in the UK) but it's getting as bad as the "I'm Rick James B*&%*" crap from a year ago.

Fred T. Jane Posted January 31, 2007 Author Share Posted January 31, 2007 But that's also the ONLY time they've ever played eachother. Exactly my point. Did Nik Antropov even play for them in Nagano?Nah, IIRC, the 1998 squad consisted solely of Russian SuperLeague players, and were mostly veterans.They also have Pushkarev as an option for international play in the future, they also have Kolesnik, a former NHL goalie.And if he wouldn't be a punk*, they'd be set in goal with Nabokov too. but noooooooo. *OK, sure, his family is Russian and all, and considers himself Russian, but come on, you'd be a national hero!

Seadragon76 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Ouch... That's something I would do on the Easy level of NHL 06.And what is with the Borat crap?

Squeaks4 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 And what is with the Borat crap? I know the character is Kazakhstaini, but since when did he become that country's mascot?Because it is "funny" to pretend to be Borat and constantly say "It's niiiice", "High Five", "Dzienkuje", "Jagshemash", "Wa-wa-wee-wa" & "Sexy Time".

OB33 Posted January 31, 2007 Share Posted January 31, 2007 Y'know, if I was Thailand, I think probably after goal #25 I think I'd just tell all my players to just stand in front of the goal and hope it doesn't go any higher than 30. #CHOMPCHOMPCHOMP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
