This year's Stanley Cup final016 Archivesa big deal for hockey fans, but perhaps an even biggerdeal for fans of The Office.

The beloved NBC comedy aired its final episode in 2013, but the network is showing it some serious love this Stanley Cup season because the St. Louis Blues (Jenna Fischer's favorite team) are playing the Boston Bruins (John Krasinski's favorite team).

Eager to please dedicated fans of The Office,NBC is taking full advantage of the Jim and Pam sports showdown, and even released a parody trailer before Game 4 on Monday.

"The Stanley Cup Final" video recreates The Office'siconic intro by setting the show's theme song to footage of key players like Patrice Bergeron, Alex Pietrangelo, Brad Marchand, Tuukka Rask, and Vladimir Tarasenko, along with Krasinski and Fischer, of course.

No matter which team wins, a rift between the actors who play Jim and Pam seems inevitable. But if things get too frustrating, the former on-screen couple can always hash out their differences over "second drinks" at Chili's. (Pam's allowed there now.)

Fischer also shared an Instagram post of herself at Game 3, so perhaps fans could be blessed with a Pam and Jim reunion.

But before things get ugly let us remember Season 2, Episode 19 of The Office, when the ice was good to Jim and Pam.

May the best team win, and may the second best team at least receive some nice encouraging medals made from yogurt lids. Make Stanley proud.
