Fans of the Boston Bruins and HBOs critically-acclaimed series True Detective are going to love this. Errol, aka the green-eared spaghetti monster and The Yellow King himself has narrated two videos for the winners of the Presidents Trophy to grow excitement for the playoffs.

You can check out both of the videos from ad company Arnold Worldwide via The Playlist and Ad Rants.

The only thing missing is his creepy accent from True Detective and his rider mower we first saw The Yellow King when he was introduced on the HBO mystery/crime/thriller when we had no idea the man mowing the lawn would be the man Rust and Marty were pursuing all along.

The Bruins and Detroit Red Wings are tied at 1-1 in their best of seven game series after the Bruins beat the visiting Wings on Easter Sunday by the score of 4-1.

Game 3 in the series shifts over to Hockeytown in Detroit on Tuesday with the puck dropping at 7:30 p.m. ET with television coverage on NESN for Boston fans and the NBC Sports Network for national coverage.
