Slovakia beats Bulgaria 82-0 in women's hockey.
BRATISLAVA, Slovakia (AP) -- With more goals than minutes in the game, Slovakia's women's ice hockey team claimed an amazing 82-0 victory over Bulgaria in Olympic qualifying.

Slovakia outshot the Bulgarians 139-0 during the 60-minute game, played in Latvia. The margin of victory is a record for a women's International Ice Hockey Federation-sanctioned event.

"We took it as training," Slovakia coach Miroslav Karafiat said after Saturday's game.

Janka Culikova led Slovakia with 10 goals, while Martina Velickova scored nine. Fourteen different players scored at least one goal.

Good lord, do you club baby seals at training too?

That is just ruthless.

8. It's a real sport where you only get one point per goal.

9. "did Bulgaria even have anyone playing goal?"
Well, if they outshot them 139-0, but only scored 82 goals, I'd damn well hope there was a Bulgarian in goal, or it wouldn't say much for the Slovakian's aiming skills at an open goal. In fact, it sounds more like the Bulgarians only had someone in goal - and they had to face a shot every 26 seconds.
