Humiliating.....Not cool.

When I played competetively my coaches would never let us run up the score. When I play now, it's not fun running the score up...we usually just pass it around.

That team shouldn't have been allowed to play and the other teams should be ashamed.

[Genevapics]

I still don't understand how you can score that many goals in a game. Was anyone in the net for Bulgaria? Did Bulgaria even win a faceoff?

I know... it's like when Kramer was taking karate; he told Jerry & Elaine he was 1st in his dojo. Come to find out he was competing against little kids. His rationale: "Well, we're all at the same skill level."

Crazy sports story that's for sure.

Thats unbelievable!

[ucla695]

That's unbelievable on a couple of levels.

• A team scored that many goals in 60 minutes
• A team scored that many goals in 60 minutes (didn't let up)

Both impressive and disgusting. What happened to sportmanship?

Slovakia stated that they simply looked at it as "training". Bravo, Team Slovakia!

Yes, it's as bad as you think.

Looks like a publicity stunt to me. Looks like the Bulgarian team didn't even try to stop them. The goalie was the only one that looked like she was giving any effort, at all. Maybe they were trying to get the coach fired. Who knows.

Maybe they've got one of those promotions in Slovakia where you get $1 off a large pizza for every home goal scored and the players like pizza.

Most of Bulgaria's players couldn't even skate, let alone try to throw the game. LOL.

As for running up the score, one of the tiebreakers in Women's Ice Hockey is goal differential.

That's painful to watch, my old peewee games were more competetive than that
