  1. I thought my one friend was going to have a rage heart attack when Weber was seemingly permanently injured and Subban was in the finals, but he does prefer Weber now. No one I know loves it - Weber does have 7 years left on his contract and i think subban's is done in a couple years. Prediction: goals for Fabbri, Bert and too many Jets edit: oops aa injured
  2. Haha, can't argue that one. Think I had some brain fry as well - with the radiation I was hoping for some super powers, but once again movies lie to us. Hope it didn't seem like I was attacking you - I just get moved to defend him and his foundation cause it's doing some good.
  3. Hey CRL! P.V.D. back from the dead - locked myself out of my previous account. Still lurk around here and as a Montrealer and a Cancer survivor, I felt I had to kind of respond to this. It seems you've been reading some internet B.S. right there. The P.K. donation was always stated to be "a combination of a personal donation from Subban — in the seven-figure range — as well as funds from the P.K. Subban Foundation and fundraising activities using his name and brand over the next seven years." Quote from an original 2015 article: https://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/p-k-subban-makes-significant-donation-to-childrens-hospital Seems maybe some people just don't read/listen beyond the headline and when they found out about the fundraising aspect they blame Subban for their own ignorance??? And I don't see where they'd be getting the part about only 20% raised. Since you list Global News, they said in Aug he'd raised 4 milliion (obviously 40%) https://globalnews.ca/video/5803005/the-p-k-subban-foundation-has-raised-4-million-of-its-10-million-goal Raising 6 million in the next 3 years does seem like a lot given how much they've brought in per year, but who knows...fundraising does generally go up when the deadline comes near. Maybe he makes up the remainder himself, if it's not too large. Or maybe he extends the deadline. Or maybe he falls short of the goal - not the worst thing in the world, after all he's already one of the most charitable athletes ever. The trade definitely made the goal more difficult for him to fundraise. Good on him to not change the commitment, though. What Subban's done for the hospital/kids is a great thing and I don't get why/how some people turned it against him. Misplaced cynicism it seems. He comes back for fundraising events every now and then. when he was with the Habs he also spent time with the kids. (p.s. I met Koivu during my treatments, it really does mean a lot for people give their time like that, both since it shows they care, and also gives media exposure to the cause) He also does events for sick kids in Nashville: You can see other events on the "P.K. gives back" playlist on his Youtube Anyway, Go Wings!!! Still with ya through the dark days even though I don't post here, haha
