There are two things I love: music and hockey. My sister-in-law sent me a video yesterday of a bunch of NHL players trying to name the four members of The Beatles. The results were appalling.
P.K. Subban of the Canadiens, T.J. Oshie of the Blues, and Ryan McDonagh of my beloved Rangers were just a few of the players who couldn't name a single one. Not one.
From the Flyers, Wayne Simmonds was able to guess Ringo, but he quickly stated that he's the only one he knows, while Claude Giroux took what was clearly a wild guess: "McCarthur?" I'm assuming he means McCartney.
My Rangers continued to let me down, unfortunately. Goalie Henrik Lundqvist, a man who is in a rock band, mentioned Paul and then John, but John was guessed with the help of the woman behind the camera.
As the video proceeds, though, more and more Beatles are becoming known. Justin Williams of the Kings, Patrick Kane of the Blackhawks and Andy Greene of the Devils mention John, Paul and Ringo. Poor, George. As stated by Brian Gionta of the Sabres a little bit later, "Sorry, George, I think you're always forgotten." That's so sad.
In the end, there's only one player who successfully names all four of The Beatles without stumbling, and that's Blake Wheeler of the Jets.
