Women’s Hockey: Slovenia defeats Bulgaria 82-0

Seriously.

I’m not usually an avid follower of women’s sports, even if we are talking about hockey. I don’t mean to come off as sexist (or one who revels in the sight of his fellow man, not that there’s anything wrong with that) but usually when a league places a W in front of its name, the product suffers.

Maybe it’s just be the lack of physicality. Can we ever expect a bench-clearing brawl and goalie fight in women’s hockey? Probably not. That would be a sight to see, though.

Still, 82 unanswered goals on 139 shots (with no shots recorded by the opposing team), ten goals by a single player, with 14 players recording at least one goal? In a traditionally low-scoring game like hockey, no less. It’s hard to imagine any men’s team anywhere topping that any time soon.

I wonder what the assists were like…
