Maybe hockey isn't such a great idea after all ...

Today in international women's hockey, the Slovakian national team beat the national team of Bulgaria by a score of 82 - 0.

You heard me. Eighty-two to nothing. There are only 60 minutes of playing time in a hockey game. Slovakia averaged one goal every 44 seconds. Its entirely possible that the Bulgarian team actually had possession of the puck for less than 1 total minute for the whole game. I have to assume that Bulgaria had at least 3 women on the ice at all times that have been skating for less than 6 months. Its the only way I can think of that you can be beaten so badly in a hockey game.

That's not all. This was the last of 4 games for Bulgaria in what was a qualifying tournament for the 2010 Olympics. They were outscored by a combined total of 192 - 1.

I'm guessing the gals from Bulgaria will be watching the games on TV.
