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.

At least he didn't ***** 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.

I just want to see the Thai goal. They had to catch the Kazak goalie sleeping, drinking or enjoying Pad Thai near his bench.

52 goals is almost one a minute. I can only imagine how long that game lasted. You'd think (hope?) they had the decency of using a running clock for the last period.

Decency has no place in a 52-1 game.

Prediction: Sergey Ogureshnikov, the goalie who was beaten for Thailand's lone goal, will soon become No. 4 prostitute in all of Kazakhstan.

 

[shotglass]

He give up Thai goal ... he love you long time.

 

[Big Buckin' agate_monkey]

He give up Thai goal ... he ruve you rong time.

Fixed.

This was an even bigger butt-kicking than what the Mighty Ducks laid on Trinidad and Tobago. And who's next for the Kazakhs, Iraq?

I shouldn't laugh so hard at that, but...
