I wonder how many Shrutebucks it cost for those seats

In the crowd for Friday night's game were stars of the NBC sitcom "The Office, Steve Carell and John Krasinski. However, they were rooting for the Boston Bruins. A little known fact about Carell: He plays hockey now. According to an article published at Playboy.com (honestly, I read it for the articles...), Carell's passion for hockey is so strong, he risks life and limb once a week.

What I lack in physical ability I make up for in poor coordination. Surprisingly, for an amateur hockey league, people get hurt all the time.

It's a combination of the pure lack of skill and all those sharp skates and sticks. It's a bunch of middle-aged guys of varying degrees of being out of shape trying to recapture their youth. It's a recipe for disaster. I've chipped my two front teeth and dislocated and broken and strained and pulled all sorts of things. And that's playing just once a week.

You can pack a lot of pain into a one-hour hockey game.

Sounds like some people I know. Carell also has referenced his love for hockey in several bits he's done.


He also did a bit for The Office, when he went ot the rink for his birthday.
