So with my history-major math skills I have us at $894 guaranteed pledges so far with conditions that could push that considerably higher. Outstanding.

This is swell on so many levels. I will match Naet's total $$$ value for being a jerk to him in the gdt. That and the irony of Datsyuk's on-ice success helping LGBTQ youth is too rich to pass up.

Why you gotta be such a loving bummer, Datsyuk?

I'm donating $9 per Red Wings goal to Life Remodeled, my charity in Detroit that is remodeling and revitalizing Detroit's neighborhoods.

Last year, we renovated Cody High School on the west side, and this year is Osborn on the east side. Outside of the construction and cleanup, we also work with the students and neighborhoods on mentoring and education.

http://liferemodeled.com/

As of Game 4, this is $81.

I'll do $0.50 for every Eddie Lack save this playoffs to the Canucks Autism Network which provides support for families of individuals living with autism through social, sport, and vocational programming.

As of April 22nd, this is $41.50.

I'm going to go differently here and rather than betting on games, I'm gonna care deeply about players' health and give to charities I tend to like.

For every lower body injury happening during playoff games: I will donate $5 to the Canadian wheelchair sports association
For every upper body injury happening during playoff games: I will donate $5 to Doctors without borders
For every concussion or head injury happening during playoff games: I will donate $5 to Alzheimer Society Canada

Hopefully we have healthy hockey players. I'll put a cap at like $100 per charity because who knows what might happen and how many people play with poo poo injuries. Hand and arm injuries are considered to be upper-body injuries.

Since playoffs started on APR 15 according to http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/hockey/nhl/injuries/by_date/:


APR 16:
Nate Thompson C ANH Day-to-day Upper-body injury
Mike Fisher C NSH Day-to-day Lower-body injury

APR 17:
Pierre-Alexandre Parenteau RW MON Day-to-day Upper-body injury

APR 18:
Justin Fontaine RW MIN Day-to-day Illness*
Shea Weber D NSH Day-to-day Lower-body injury

APR 20:
Eric Fehr RW WAS Day-to-day Upper-body injury
Chris Wagner RW ANH Day-to-day Upper-body injury

* Not covered by my clauses


As of APR 20 numbers, this gives:

Wheelchair sports: $15
Doctors without Borders: $15
Alzheimer Society: $0

It's about finding that next group of core players we can win with in the next 6, 8, 10 years. Let's face it, it's hard for 20-, 21-, 22-year-olds to lead an NHL team. Look at the playoffs.

Regardless of the outcome of the playoffs, I will donate $50 to BC Children's Hospital: http://www.bcchf.ca/donate/
For every series the Vancouver Canucks win, I will donate an additional $50. So, up to a maximum of $250 if the Canucks win the Stanley Cup.
Additionally, for every series the Canucks win, I will donate $50 to a charity suggested by an SAS fan of the losing team. ($200 maximum). If any Flames posters want to suggest one for the current series, feel free.



In addition to me, you've let this adorable child down, Canucks.

Same, but 30CAD$. I know I pledged to Dans la Rue for a Habs win, but it makes more sense to me/seems less chauvinistic if it goes to the losing team, for some reason.

Ok, sold. For this round I will follow the Martytoof pattern and do $50 to Cardiostart if the Canadiens win the series, and $50 to Dans la Rue (again) if the Lightning win.

Well, the gay agenda strikes another blow to traditional values. Datsyuk scored a healthy trio of goals but, alas, not enough to make it through to the second round. My math skills tells me that 3 goals at $5 a piece comes to a grand total of $15. However, Datsyuk hit the super secret multiplier during gameplay and all totals were doubled!

Well, I really though the Sens had a better chance. And $20 is kind of a small sum.
