Rainn Wilson, the actor that plays Dwight Schrute on The Office (one of the many fine, quality sitcoms produced by NBC) was thinking about going to the Kings-Coyotes game on Sunday.
But Wilson had never been to a hockey game and wanted to learn more before getting tickets, so he reached out to the LA Kings Twitter account:
The Kings Twitter account was quick to reply:
For those of you that don’t watch The Office (and if you’re not, you really should, along with the rest of NBC’s outstanding Thursday night lineup), this is a reference to Dwight’s workplace nemesis Jim Halpert, known for encasing Dwight’s stuff in Jello:
On Sunday, the whole Twitter back-and-forth came to fruition as L.A.'s President of Business Operations, Luc Robitaille, was on hand at Staples to present Wilson with his tickets -- on a plate of what appears to be lime Jello:
As for Wilson’s observations on Game 4:
-- Staples Center sells sushi during games and plays a lot of Coldplay.
-- The Kings uniforms look like “they were designed by Rob Zombie, the Oakland Raiders & Prince.”
-- Mike Smith “is really good. We should drug him with a poison dart. Or puck.”
-- He met noted Canadian/celebrity hockey fan Matthew Perry.
-- By game’s end, he “really, really” hated the Coyotes.
