Viper Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I guess we can cross Bulgaria off the list of medal contenders in women's ice hockey at Vancouver 2010...http://sports.espn.go.com/oly/news/story?id=3577150 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spyboy1 Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Did Bulgaria understand having the option of having a goalie in the net? You would think the other team would start to let up after 31-0 at the end of the first period, if not sooner, and to still let in 51 more after that is mind numbing.

Sport Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Why would the other team even shoot 82 times? It seems to me that while Bulgaria is obviously really poor there is no excuse for slovakia to score 82 times. I think after maybe 10 goals it would become apparent that the team you're playing is not qualified to be in the qualifying tournament and it would be time to let up. Bulgaria was bad, but there was no reason that Slovakia should score 82 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bulgaria was bad, but there was no reason that Slovakia should score 82 times.Well you could make the case that it is actually more embarrassing to Bulgaria to just stop trying against them, but I do agree with you. Honestly, Bulgaria shouldn't have entered the competition at all - they're obviously not ready for international play, and that isn't exactly the stage for a building program to practice on. They really need to work out some sort of mercy rule.Also, how long did this game take? All those goal stoppages and face offs must have dragged this thing out forever.

Braden Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 Italy beat them 41-0, Croatia beat them 30-1. It sucks, but don't blame Slovakia for trying to get the better goal differential after the other two teams beat Bulgaria like that.But getting creamed against Italy??? Croatia???Do these Bulgarian girls even know how to skate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFoA Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 I seriously opened this up from the front page thinking that this was ESPN's prediction for the Celtics this upcoming season. But wow, that is amazing. But hey, if it was for goal differential, you gotta do what you gotta do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
