Yikes, 18-zip in hockey. Don’t they have a mercy rule? Could they maybe have brought out their second string after it got to be 6-0? Nonetheless, go North American hockey!
No mercy rule in hockey. Just blow-outs. Girls and skates...woo hooo!
The team they beat just happened to beat another team earlier this year 82-0...that is not a typo...82 to NOTHING.
In Olympic hockey you run up the score whenever possible because in the event of a tie in the win-loss record, the goal count decides the standings.
