I mean, I know not everyone is into sports, but you are alive, correct? Doesn&#8217;t any sports knowledge leak into that big egghead brain through osmosis?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">But, in defense of contestants on a recent episode, they may have been faked out by the category &#8220;Canadian Girlfriends,&#8221; because it veered into the sports world.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">The question \u2014 or I guess &#8220;answer&#8221; under Jeopardy! Rules \u2014 read, &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.outkick.com\/category\/leon-draisaitl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Leon Draisaitl<\/a> stars for this northernmost NHL team but went to warmer Spain to propose to Celeste Dejardins.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Never have I wished I were on Jeopardy! more. A question about the NHL and geography? As a hockey nerd and a middle school geography bee champion, I&#8217;d be drooling all over myself, slamming on that buzzer before Ken Jennings was even halfway through reading the clue.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">I will hand it to the one guy who gave it a whirl. The Winnipeg Jets weren&#8217;t the worst answer on Earth, but people forget that Winnipeg is kind of close to the US border.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Now, the other two contestants let me down because it would&#8217;ve been safe to assume that the answer to this one was in Canada. That means that there were only six more options.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Pick. One.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Although here&#8217;s how I imagine that could&#8217;ve played out:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Who are the Montreal Canadiens?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">*Buzzer* Other contestant?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">Who are the Toronto Blue Jays?<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align:left;\">*Buzzer* Not even a hockey team\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alright, so none of these contestants are hockey fans PublishedSeptember 10, 2025 4:00 PM EDT\u2022UpdatedSeptember 10, 2025 1:45&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":147462,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[66],"tags":[385,99],"class_list":["post-147461","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nhl","tag-nhl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147461","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=147461"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147461\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/147462"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=147461"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=147461"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=147461"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
