How bad did the US or Canada beat Slovakia?

Posted by Will Hunting (aka JoeMetz) Mar 1 '10, 10:34

jeebus, I know women's sports are in the infant stage most places, but holy hell...that looks like the first practice for any number of adult-rec leagues I've seen.

Canada beat Slovakia 18-0. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:35 24
- they need to stop that crap or the IOC will pull the sport -- nm - zork Mar 1, 10:36 23
  - It should be pulled anyhow. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:38 13
    - I can't argue against that for competitive reasons, but they'll never pull just the women's version of a sport from the Olympics. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:39 12
      - Yeah, I know. It's just bullshit that this stuff has to stay and they cut baseball and softball - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:41 10
        
        Not European enough unfortunately. -- nm - Diva Mar 1, 10:47 8
        
        I think that's a big part of it. If someone other than the Dutch or Italians played it, it might have a better chance. - Reagen Mar 1, 10:48 7
        
        It has to be. The sport is emerging in Asian countries and is a big presence in Latin America. - musubi Mar 1, 10:51 6
        
        You might as well have cricket in the Olympics though -- nm - Roger More Mar 1, 10:56 5
        
        rugby sevens (for 2016) was a good compromise. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:13 1
        
        It's worked in the Commonwealth Games format, but really I think it should stay there. - Roger More Mar 1, 11:20
        
        If there's more than say 5 teams good at it, sure. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 11:00 2
        
        There are about the same number of countries that are good at cricket as are good at baseball. Similar geographic distribution as well - Roger More Mar 1, 11:08 1
        
        to baseball, you can add Italy, Netherlands (if they get Aruba), Mexico and Canada to the list of competitive teams. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 11:16
        
        not enough competitive teams for a summer event plus few outside the US watched it. -- nm - zork Mar 1, 10:44
      - they got enough flak for not having a women's ski jump event ... - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:40
  - yeah, slovakia! l2play! -- nm - Beryllium Mar 1, 10:38
  - you can't ask them to hold back when it decides home ice advantage. - Reagen Mar 1, 10:38 7
    - Plus, the argument that the fans paid to see the top team perform, not to rag the puck passing, holds water with me. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Mar 1, 10:41 6
      - They could have at least tried something cool, like the Knucklepuck. -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:42 5
        
        I would say Slovakia was pulling people out of the stands to finish this game, but there's no one there. -- nm - Will Hunting Mar 1, 10:44 4
        
        of note for Moose - Bulgaria pulled the goalie at 77-0. It didn't work. -- nm - Reagen Mar 1, 10:45 3
        
        They used it too late! (nm) - musubi Mar 1, 10:55
        
        (did your bil go to the game?! sorry if you already posted.) -- nm - TFox Mar 1, 10:45 1
        
        haven't heard from him yet. - Reagen Mar 1, 10:47
