No, it's not a mistake.
The International Ice Hockey Federation has confirmed Slovakia beat Bulgaria 82-0 in a European Olympic pre-qualifying tournament in Liepaja, Latvia.
According to ESPN.dom, Slovakia outshot Bulgaria 139-0, scoring on 58.9 percent of their shots on goal, and averaging a goal every 44 seconds.
Bulgaria reportedly trailed 7-0 after 5 minutes, 19-0 after 10, and 31-0 at the end of the first period.
It isn't the first lopsided loss for the Bulgarian women. They also lost 30-1 to Croatia and 41-0 to Italy.
And surprisingly the 82-0 defeat isn't an all-time record. In 1998, Thailand lost to Korea 92-0 in the Asia-Oceania U18 Championship.

Thank God that's over with. I couldn't sleep at night over the anxiety of our team failures.
On the other hand, we always have lots of beer afterwards and I honestly don't remember any scores the next day.
Whew!
