Kazakhstan 52, Thailand 1

And it was a hockey game. Shots were 97-7

Love the quotes from the Thai coach:

"They are just an outstanding team," Thailand's American coach Michael Rolanti said of Kazakhstan, which competed in the Turin Winter Olympics.

"I think it was a good game for us because we did not give up."

Can you imagine the score if they did give up?

and

"We only have about 40 guys in the whole country to pick from," said Rolanti.

 

Niiiiice!

 

Jesus!

 

At least he didn't bitch about them running up the score.

 

Amazing stuff:
--The Thai had ONE shot in the first two periods?
--One guy for Kazakhstan had seven goals.
--Kazakhstan won its earlier game 38-0 over that hockey hotbed United Arab Emirates.
--Before their goal, the highlight for the Thais was "when defenceman Terani Harnnarujchai bodychecked one of the linesmen into the boards."

 

High five!!!

 

Just think of it this way: The Thailand keeper made 45-saves!

 

That's worse than playing hockey on Sega Genesis ..with no goalies.

 

I think of stuff like this when I seen those signs on the highway telling how far it is to cities ahead:

Nashville 138
Chattanooga 19

 

There'll be a bombing over this one somewhere.

 

I wouldn't have minded seeing 5-10 minutes of this, just to see how rapid-fire the onslaught really was.

 

Polyanna.
