NHL PLAYER NAME SPELLING BEE!

Hockey fans retain a lot information that's relatively useless outside of the world of sports. Among the most useless - how to spell the most complex last names in the sport! That's why we decided to put on our own NHL player name spelling bee, with Jesse, Luca, Marissa, Eric and DZ.

[@HanJordo]

Love how Jesse has incorporated “are you KEEDING me” into his vocabulary

[@seamusbelisle5425]

Jokes old tbh

[@dustinmose]

For anyone wondering about Luca’s voice, he was on like 2 hours sleep from having to work super late then trek downtown from Oshawa lol.

Having to be in Oshawa is punishment enough. Source: I live in Oshawa

Corwin, he’s too powerful

Should we do another one haha? 🤔

Yes please! Hit them with a Branko Radivojevic

[@Szalami]

Hell yes, but damn Corwin and Sam have to be in there!

[@AntonioHernandez-tj6er]

For sure btw quiz suggestion!! Hockey meme themed quiz

[@pretzelhunt]

Yes! have an Emrick {or whomever} "pronunciator" soundboard cued up to avoid confusions..

[@Testomake_]

Yes. I have some names in mind :D Urho Vaakanainen (Boston Bruins), Ilya Lyubushkin (Arizona Coyotes), Slater Koekkoek (Edmonton Oilers)

[@edwardofgreene]

Fun watching Jesse flex a bit. Giving him Beukeboom though. Seriously? 🤣🤣

[@kevinstull8552]

Rigged rigged lol

[@TheLazySusan]

Like come on are you kidddding me

[@jgp7414]

He still would have won

[@Brandon34300]

Jesse got some impressive ones but at the same time beukeboom and the first one were way easier than what everyone else got

[@capitalovi8438]

Please do pt 2 of this, so many good names that were left out 😂

[@KalvinSingh]

The fact that Luca shows up on every bardown quiz is amazing!

[@NorthKariya9]

Right? Considering the fact that he sounds like he has Covid right now

[@TritonGamezYT]

@@NorthKariya9 nah, the dudes stoned outta his mind.

Thank you thank you haha! For anyone wondering, this was the day after Grey Cup week in Hamilton and being at the game. Not much sleep and no voice clearly haha

He really has earned that friend point

[@mlipkin6708]

i have seriously never laughed so hard in a video before, this was amazing, we need part 2

[@J4rl4m]

I was hoping that Luca would finally need to spell Sven Andrighetto.

[@austinmiller6676]

Same lol

[@juliannae1548]

“Do you have his card?” “No” “That sucks ass.” “So do you.” I lost it 😂

[@ILoveMisty1985]

"Four brightest minds" No Corwin. What a burn. XD

[@michaellipari8707]

Also, Luca talking about players and their what hand they use to shoot would be a sick quiz.

[@samgliserman]

Unsurprisingly Luca/Corwin AND Jesse are elite at this

[@whitneysmiltank]

11:22 Marissa's apprehensive posture for Eric's failure was on point lol

[@kevinstull8552]

Marissa's outfit was absolutely fabulous.

I got so stoked when Niinimaa's name was on there. I have like 3 of his sweaters, hahaha. This was a great video, definitely need more of these!

[@arthurjohnson8395]

"I'd like to apologize..." 🤣

[@martinptacek405]

This challenge turned out to be even tougher given that the "presenter" pronouced every single foreign players' name incorrectly.

[@Wegetsu]

Also North Americans don't seem to know what Ä's are

[@machinegunc1325]

@@Wegetsu ur correct about that one lol

[@DannyDoggedYou]

@@Wegetsu why the hell would they, none of their words are spelled with that character

[@tateanderson213]

I wish the rounds would have started out a little easier. Either that would have given them a bit of confidence only to have it ripped away, or they mess up a name they absolutely shouldn’t have and it’s even more funny than not knowing how to spell Puljujarvi which no one expects them to get.

[@bryannewcombe858]

I was hoping Carey Price or Mike Smith or Jake Allen would have come out of the cards LOL

[@brucewayne2997]

I love when you try spelling Finnish names and completely trash it :D And because in Finland we have letter ä in vocabulary, Puljujarvi in Finland is spelled Puljujärvi

[@sabasaba9790]

Alphabet, not vocabulary.

[@VihainenMuumipeikko]

Äää Ååå Ööö

[@SorokingProd30]

Jesse definitely won every spelling bee in his school life, and most likely passed English class

[@wsmith2401]

really appreciate the set & wardrobe of it all, really makes it

[@itstillhurts1480]

was waiting for Z to say, "we brought our four brightest minds...and Jesse..."

[@nattenaniel]

Yes, Finnish names are great. Also Puljujarvi is still wrong, it is Puljujärvi with a Ä not A.

[@VinceVinou]

Luca was talking like his entire body was a runny nose

[@Vlyer]

I feel like Corwin would have been good at this.

[@4inchesofpleasure]

Marissa’s laugh is awesome!

[@xxmega__chronicxx3768]

Please keep making these spelling bee videos, they are funny asf lol 😂

[@devoncarroll7568]

This is the first quiz I’ve watched that I would’ve 100% won 😂

[@saaga2235]

Z you’re incorrect. It’s PULJUJÄRVI

[@christyouredumb956]

How was andrighetto not Luca’s name. He’s admitted he can’t spell it multiple times

[@newwavegrave]

Love this, great new idea. Would love to see a second. Keep it up team, love y’all. ❤️

[@MrHbkfan17]

We definitly need a part 2 of this with the same contestants and host. This was hilarious!

[@Rhysing]

If you do a part 2 - I think they could really benefit from having the rounds be based on the number of characters in a last name.

[@katem32]

Great episode, loved playing along

[@FrostCoyote]

I say "are you keeding me" all the time now because of y'all LOL

As a Lakeville Minnesotan, Brady Skjei is a goat here. And as a hockey player, inspirational.

[@warmowed]

This was totally awesome! very high production value lol

[@alexmelby1990]

Not only am I from Minnesota, but I am from Lakeville as well. So seeing both Skjei and Poehling along with Boeser in this video made my day 😂😂

[@verhu010]

Boeser has a nice little rivalry with the Poehling boys over a stolen gf in HS. She made the wrong decision lol

[@mattburt8386]

Easily DZs best roasts of everyone 😂 jus constant jabs 😂 absolutely love it 👍🏻

[@McGuffy]

Dustin Byfuglien's mother is of Norwegian decent, hence the name Byfuglien is Norwegian. His great-grandparents emigrated from Norway, from a small place called Byfugli and there is many people in Norway named Byfuglien. The literal translation of the name is By = city, fugl = bird, lien = the hill. So it's basically "Dustin of the City Bird Hill"

[@holoholopainen1627]

Isnt by a - Village ?

[@McGuffy]

@@holoholopainen1627 "By" on its own is "city". Village can have many translations, "Landsby" ("City on the countryside"), is the most direct translation.
