New York — Whoopi Goldberg wouldn't mind lacing up her skates and
getting a little ice time.
The actress is a big hockey fan, and five NHL players filmed spots for
an episode of Whoopi, her prime-time NBC comedy.
Anson Carter of the New York Rangers and Scott Stevens of the New Jersey
Devils are featured in the show that will be broadcast Oct. 7, the day
before the NHL season opens.
"We were all thrilled to know she was a big hockey fan," Stevens
said. "So when she asked us to join her for an episode of her new
show, we thought it was the least we could do for all the support she
gave us."
Darius Kasparaitis of the Rangers and Scott Gomez and Jay Pandolfo,
both of the Devils, have cameo roles.
"I'm thrilled that the guys came to play with us," Goldberg
said. "I'm secretly hoping that they'll ask me to play with them
some time. But so far they haven't asked."
