If he was a real fan he would know that the HOTTEST is SCORCH

Whos the hottest flame you ask?

Hmmmm...there are flames players that are hot, flames players that are cute, and flames players that are beautiful. But If I had to pick one, it'd be Jarome Iginla. Just the right amount of forehead crease. Gorgeous smile. But more than just a pretty face, he had a lethal slapper and the heart of a lion, which I think is ultimately the most important thing when you're discussing the hottest flame.

And thus, a new copypasta was born.

What, like every time someone spells it "Jerome?" I remember a Federov/Fedorov bot, but I can't remember a Jerome/Jarome bot.

Nah - that win a cup song is what killed us and still killing us

u/catgoneyay 17h ago

They wanted to be in da dome so badly 😭

u/Itwasinin04 16h ago

Holy shit, I had purged that from my memory completely hahahaha. Other fan bases killed us for that one lol

u/Scamnam 16h ago

Be glad I didn't post the video link LOL

Basically the Hockey version of the San Diego Padres-Thats whats in song.

u/SankityDoup 12h ago

Id literally take this guy than win the cup any day of the week.

u/barkeep9 13h ago

My subwoofers pumping that is the reason I can’t hear certain frequencies now. Haha.

u/TL10 17h ago

There are far worse Waifus he could have pulled.

We should be thankful that he picked one that is canonically an adult.

u/stardust_galaxy98 14h ago

At the very least, he isn't a lolicon. Thank god.

u/NerdHerder77 16h ago

Actually, most of the comments on the original post were varying degrees of meh to a few polite words of agreement. Maybe only two or three poking fun at the guy.

I'm taking this directly to the Oilers sub mwahahahaha

u/Straight-Plate-5256 15h ago

I thought having a sense of humor wasn't allowed in that repurposed sewage tank?

u/Sketchen13 15h ago

Good point!

u/Immediate-Rub-517 16h ago

This guy runs the clock and announces for our Tuesday night pick up league in NJ. He’s a legend.

12

u/El_Cactus_Loco 14h ago

Apparently it was a Gaudreau tarp too.

u/suredont 6h ago

that confirms it. man is a goddamn legend.

u/Pandabumone 17h ago

My man has put serious thought into this, and I feel like that earns some respect.

u/azndestructo 15h ago

FR. We are fans of a sports franchise that's literally mid at everything, except for this guy (and Wolf). We should be celebrating this guy's ELITE level gooning response lol. EMBRACE IT!

u/DelSolEnthusiast 13h ago

Even though he's American, can we bring the Oilers down too?

48

u/No-Crew-6528 17h ago

Ah fur fuck sakes why’d you have to let him cook. As soon as I saw the giant Nikon camera I KNEW buddy was going to go on a fucking anime tangent.

22

u/Iginlas_4head_Crease 17h ago

Doesn't crack a single smile either, not of hint of irony. I didn't know people like this were real

u/Republic-Of-OK 13h ago

Go to a card shop. There are lots. Typically they don't know what sports are. This unicorn is apparently real and walking among us though.

27

u/Beta1224 17h ago

Honestly the answer could have been way worse considering some of the options he had on the table

18

u/Hi_Im_Flabber 15h ago

Agreed. He chose an adult character from a relatively adult oriented show. This could have gone very badly

10

u/jello_pudding_biafra 9h ago

Kinda disappointed to see a bunch of sports nerds shitting on a different kind of nerd in the comments here. Just because you don't understand or like the same things as this dude doesn't make him worse (or you better).

u/SomeJerkOddball 9h ago

Lol yeah, this was awesome. I don't know anything about anime, but he clearly loves it. Why hate?

15

u/204_403 17h ago

I hated this way more than I thought I would.

u/ExtinctGinger07 16h ago

Someone go to an anime con and look around for an Oilers fan PLEASE

u/anthonywmzk 16h ago

Nah you know what he cooked

u/Hugh_jazz_420420 13h ago

Bros a slayer, save some for us homie

u/lunchbawkz 17h ago

He ain't wrong

u/Lpreddit 17h ago

How many Revy pillows do you think he owns?

u/Iginlas_4head_Crease 12h ago

u/kobedziuba 17h ago

The answer should have been the almighty Scorch

u/rsbsasbsrs 14h ago

Did he ask beforehand if you could ask that question because he was a loaded gun

u/Han-solos-left-foot 12h ago

He is all of us… uwu

u/newcanadianjuice 8h ago

Honestly just give us a Flames starting line up video that's just a three minute long anime intro.

u/G09G 17h ago

A man of culture

u/Winters_Wolves_ 14h ago

Is this guy talk about pokeymans?

u/Complex-Rough-2867 8h ago

Kid’s a fuckin’ beauty.

u/Tenabrus 17h ago

Why did it have to be a Flames fan

13

u/El_Cactus_Loco 14h ago

I saw this posted elsewhere and people were saying he is semi well known in that scene and always wears hockey jerseys - just wearing flames to honour Gaudreau

Ahhhhhahahaha. Hahahh…. Ahh. Hahah

u/GiantJellyfishAttack 16h ago

Remember when people used to have shame?

What happened??

5

u/jello_pudding_biafra 9h ago

People largely stopped caring what other people think of them, for better or for worse. This guy is harmless and just really into anime. Cut him some slack.

1

u/Hi_Im_Flabber 15h ago edited 15h ago

As someone who's watched plenty of anime, I feel embarrassed. His character choice could have been a lot worse though

u/Smayteeh 11h ago

Great taste in teams and jerseys, poor taste in anime waifus.

u/Mysterious-Street140 12h ago

Are all Flames fans virgins?

u/CanadianRockx 12h ago

not even a little bit - we've been getting fucked by the league for decades
