I've been tipped off that the reporter in question was Cayla Spiess. Spiess hosts in-arena and online videos for the Flames on "Flames TV", and spent six years as a video reporter and producer for the Calgary Hitmen of the WHL.

OH come on Jerome, work with me , you know — setting up the play!
“What – next question is … What’s the frequency Kenneth?”

i think she had someone communicating to her in an ear bud or bluetooth and just got completely flummoxed. Jarome handled it with aplomb.

I love that she says “No idea?” like Jarome is the idiot

My impression when I saw this was that she was drunk.

Consider contributing to Wiki if you can. It is has come a long way since its inception in quality and its founders have resisted attempts to commercialize it. Lets keep it alive with a few dollars each.

She was fan girl screaming on the inside, and just blabbering on the outside.

In theory, there is little difference between practice and theory, but in practice there is!

Ok, she had a good 30 seconds to save the interview, but she she chose not to. She kept hoping when said enough times everyone would play along and paint Jarome into a corner.
