When it was officially determined that the Boston Bruins would be taking on the St. Louis Blues in the NHL Stanley Cup Final, one of the first things fan of The Office realized was that the series was going to be a Jim vs. Pam affair.
Two other people who quickly realized that were none other than the people who played Jim and Pam, John Krasinski and Jenna Fischer. Also… Stanley Cup?
The two of them each hit up social media to trade a little trash talk before Game 1, starting with a tweet by Krasinski.
On it went from there with the two of them trading friendly barbs throughout the series.
Wow... this is how you wanna play this Fischer?... ok. Game ON! #BruinsIn7 #StanleyCup https://t.co/UP3lLkkd2X

Even their boss Michael Scott (Steve Carrell) got in on the Stanley Cup trash talk.
Steve!!! Not you too!! #LetsGoBlues #Gloria https://t.co/wM7aK35X7S

Soooooo... I should invite someone else to game 7? https://t.co/3vMH7qSB3w

Turns out Krasinski was subtly referring to this tweet by Fischer prior to the series starting.
Because Wednesday night… this happened.
Fischer, however, ended up getting the last laugh… in more ways than one.
Ha. Ha. Ha. Well played. Just be careful he doesn't leave you at the game. #GoBlues @NHL @David_Denman https://t.co/JtlCnqloxU

I love you St. Louis! I love all of you who watched this game at Enterprise Center. I love all of you who watched in the pouring rain from Busch Stadium. From viewing parties and at home! We All Bleed Blue! Congratulations @StLouisBlues Stanley Cup Winners! https://t.co/sGib9JunPl
