..same episode as the FLOTUS appearance. IMO, it was overall pretty lighthearted though I doubt it was funny to JK at the time! I cannot speak for JK of course but I have a feeling he'd LOL this off..he seems to have a pretty good sense of humor! (starts at 7:25) :

Though we all know it wasn't Wii Hockey...I think JK's opponents/people who poke fun are just jealous of his athleticism "at his age" (though imo he appears and seems at least 10 if not 20 years younger, both physically and the spirit/energy he conveys!), particurally the men! hehe ;D

In all seriousness though, I was so sad when I first saw the pics/footage after the injury..yowl! Though he seems and appears to be healing nicely, from the floor speech the other day as discussed in the thread about the late Boston mayor. I agree with karynnj and others here that he shouldn't feel like he has to stop playing hockey (though I think the POTUS was just making a lighthearted jab there..guy stuff lol ..though I do hope he'll be careful (I'm sure he always is-you never can 100% prevent accidents like these)-we need him!
