Thailand vs Kuwait. Hockey. 57-0

[VaCaps Fan]

Get Sean Avery to coach them…

 

[GeeoffBrown]

If the shots are 122 to 1 ... it's kind of like the 1 is actually a huge failure by the powerhouse to have surrendered, if you think about it

The Kuwait side put all of their heart and perseverance into getting that one shot on net

 

[Treb]

Ok.. how much would a high school team from Minnesota or Toronto lose by?

They would win against Thailand.

 

[NYRfan85]

The Kuwait goalie still made 65 saves!

 

[Suntouchable13]

Put the Kuwait goalie against Toronto in a playoff game and he will look like prime Patrick Roy.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Are they new NHL teams?

 

[HisIceness]

That's the kind of score in college football when Ohio State or Alabama plays Southwestern Kansas Tech

I know someone who was integral in recently setting up and playing on a women's national team for a middle east country. She could barely skate so this type of score doesn't really surprise me.

Note: I don't mean that in a bad way about her skating. It's just the reality. Her skating and hockey ability was at an adult beginner level. She deserves kudos and respect for being instrumental in playing a part of extending hockey to a non-traditional place.

How does it take over 20 seconds.

In high-school as not even a good 100 meter dash runner I would beat that easily. I would beat that today being overweight.

 

[Silky Johnson]

These blowouts happen all the time in N-Z group qualifying rounds.

I don't understand the xx-1 games...

You were good enough to score 62 goals but not good enough to get a shutout?

Maybe goalies fell asleep?

 

[Sam de Mtl]

Digging inside the numbers reveals some absolutely ludicrous stats.

• Natapat Patong led all skaters with 13 points, made up of 7 goals and 6 assists
• Natchayatorn Yannakornthannapunt plays defense, and still finished with 11 points — 7 goals and 4 assists
• Kuwait’s poor goalie Faisal Allenqawi was kept in all game and to his credit managed to actually make 65 saves (along with the 57 he let in)
• Thailand have a player named Kenneth Nathan Thongsong, which I mention as as excuse to post this photo of Sisqo.

This is not the worst save percentage.

Could maybe fill Toronto's goaltending issues.

That sprinter is actually a tennis player. If I remember correctly, the original sprinter got injured, and somebody had to run.

I’m wondering what the story is with the person that finished second last is. She got absolutely smoked, but still was way faster than the Somali girl. Like did she get injured, or is she someone else that was an EBUG? Or EBUR in this case

I credit the coach, this is what happens when you get pucks in deep and go to the net.

Let me be clear high-school me didn't train to do sprints and I was never selected in high-school to represent for the dash.

If tennis had yet be played perhaps she didn't want to be injured?

Just wild to me that an athlete like her wouldn't do better. Like I am just expecting more. Again if it was injury concerns then that's fine.

These blowouts happen all the time in N-Z group qualifying rounds.

But seldom make news. So it's a humorous/interesting change of pace.
And just bizarre math for the sport.

Like if basketball ended 250 -43 or something.

 

[daver]

Shit! I took under 57 bet. I was told it was sure thing.

Call in the authorities!

 

[blundluntman]

I dunno I think there's something a bit unbecoming smashing a team like this. Surely at like 10-0 you can say, OK we've obviously won let's save these fellow humans a bit of humiliation

It really depends on just how bad the team is. It's like play fighting with a kid, you can visibly tell when you're trying not to hurt them and it might feel patronizing lol. You've still gotta respect your opponent by at least trying to look competitive.

The Minnesota Army National Guard actually played a mini tournament with the Kuwait National Team like 8 to 10 years ago when they were stationed there.

The NG had 3 teams, but only like 5-10 players had actually played HS hockey or any hockey (including my brother) and they were split amongst the 3 teams. None of them were goalies though.

I believe the Kuwait team did end up winning the the 4 team tourney. Lack of goaltending hurt them, my brothers teams goalie was a girl who had never played hockey before.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

It's less impressive when you consider it's on only 122 shots.

You'd think just by accident he'd save 60% of shots.

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Kudos to the Kuwait team. Every team and program has to start somewhere.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

This should give you an idea of how bad Kuwait is:

Guy lined up on the wrong side of the dots lol.

This happened multiple times with different players.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

Shots were 122-1, but I thought it was a bit redeeming that they least they got a shot!

And then I saw the shot chart:

I feel bad for the guy who had to track this. It also makes me wonder why they didn't just play without the goalie and go 6v5, see if they could get 100...

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Let’s do HFBoards vs Kuwait. Who would win and what score be?

I can play some D

The shots were 122 to 1?

Were they cosplaying Hurricanes vs Islanders?

We would slaughter them, are you serious lol.

 

[Henry Miller]

Feel bad for the goalie. Since the shots were 122-1 all (literally all) of the play was probably in their end and he was probably peppered with high quality chances
