Or is this an HFer who saw the memes and added waffles to a Leafs game?
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 don’t know….but one of the best posters on the Leafs‘ board has the username Throw More Waffles.
did the waffle tossing happen before or after the Olli/turkey girl thread?What a fantastic thread that was
ahh kk, now I see how it developed.The waffle tossing happened after Turkey girl, as Olli was still with FLA when the whole thing came into existence.
No
This video is from '09
Waffle Tossing happened in late 2010
so the waffles were an addition in 2010?
Now I see the context.I see, the waffles specifically. yeah that gif came out right around and after the fan tossing them
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.ahh kk, now I see how it developed.
I don't know how I never knew about wafflegate.
It's funny that I am still finding layers to an all time great

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.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 alreadyinternet(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.
Those Playoff Photoshop threads were absolute gold. Now the equivalents seem to only have stupid memes.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.
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.
Some of the things that stuck with me is;Those Playoff Photoshop threads were absolute gold. Now the equivalents seem to only have stupid memes.
Oh and THIS IS OUT HOUSE!
Some of the things that stuck with me is;
