Pull the goalie
September 9th, 2008 | by mmb5 |You may have heard that in a Women’s Ice Hockey Olympic qualification tournament, Slovakia defeated Bulgaria 82-0. No article I’ve seen has linked to the actual boxscore, so here you go. Highlights:
- The original goalie was in for the first 77 goals. That 77th one must have been real bad.
- The 78th and 79th goals were scored on penalty shots for “delay of game”. I would assume these probably were for too many men in the last 3 minutes, I think that’s an international rule.
- The 81st and 82nd goals were scored when Bulgaria pulled their goalie. I guess they thought they could come back.
- Bulgaria only had 10 dressed skaters.
- Bulgaria didn’t have a shot on goal.
- Slovakia was 7-7 on the power play.
- There were matching game misconducts at the end.

You didn’t mention the whopping crowd of 37 that showed up to watch it…

You have to give the Bulgarians credit for hanging in there for 56 seconds. For almost 2% of the game, they were matching the Croatians goal for goal.

I’m a little surprised that Slovakia only had seven power plays. I’m assuming the refs just let things go to keep the clock running.
