Is this the origin of the waffles in the Olli Jokinen/turkey girl memes?

[Deadly Dogma]

Or is this an HFer who saw the memes and added waffles to a Leafs game?

I don’t know….but one of the best posters, IMO, on the Leafs‘ board has the username Throw More Waffles.

I didn't even know this happened, I saw the memes, especially the gif with Jokinen on the bench and the floating waffle. It was funny but I didn't get the context of the waffle.
I need an HF veteran who was a part of that thread to give context lol
Its like the chicken and the egg debate, did waffle gate happen because of HF, or did HF take waffle gate and do its thing?

What a fantastic thread that was

What a fantastic thread that was

did the waffle tossing happen before or after the Olli/turkey girl thread?

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Forced meme.

 

[RobBrown4PM]

The waffle tossing happened after Turkey girl, as Olli was still with FLA when the whole thing came into existence.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

No

This video is from '09


Waffle Tossing happened in late 2010

Why the fan(s) tossed waffles is beyond me, but it was a form of civil (corporate?) disobedience in reaction to the Leafs hitting a new, pathetic low. How Olli got wrapped up into the phenomenon is beyond me, because he was playing for CGY at the time.

I think it was because he was a weird dude who looked half-baked nearly all the time, plus he was already internet (HFboards) famous for Turkey girl, and that eccentric Finnish dance web player thing where you could move him to the beat of the music.

BTW, if anyone has a link to an living page with that web player of Olli dancing, please share it. I think it got nuked from the internet a long-time ago.

At which frame did you see waffles? No debate that Oli and Turkey girl existed. The debate is if the waffle addition came after the Toronto event. I recall the threads in the old forum where it progressed, so I'd be interested to see earlier evidence of actual waffles in connection to this meme.

Jokinen Turkey Girl thread was from 2008-2009 iirc

Plus it looks like this was right around the time we traded for Kessel and were in dire need of a #1c and lost #2 overall.
I can see the fan anger.

There was a year back in the day when we had a playoff gif thread and there was some pure magic in there. I haven't seen it in years maybe 10 years ago or so.

 

[Mad Dog Tannen]

Mike Richard’s is cannon.

 

[Rowlet]

Those were good times. That was one thread I remember really well, another was NHL'ers as song titles and someone posted "Brooks Laich We Made It" and I laughed really hard at that.

Those Playoff Photoshop threads were absolute gold. Now the equivalents seem to only have stupid memes.
