The ten million isn't coming out of PK's account, it was a pledge to raise that amount through charity.

Whatever team this man is on will forever be my (distant) second team. What an amazing human being.

Horsecrap. The guy is as genuine as they come. Year after year he does stuff like this, and wet blankets like you take the cynical point of view, assuming that because he records it and lets other people enjoy it, he's looking for credit. I really think you're missing the point here. He's allowing many, many more people to enjoy that spirit, just by watching it.

If this was a one off from someone like Terrell Owens, I'd understand your cynicism, but PK does stuff like this year in and year out. I just don't know how much more genuine you can get. Also, I heard PK's dad interviewed on QR a week or two ago, and I can see where PK's genuine humanity comes from. It was a really good interview. Very interesting, and very easy to see why PK is such a great guy, because his dad is too.

Maybe you don't like PK for some reason, like his flamboyance, but I think you're missing out on the goodwill he spreads. Sometimes, people just like to be nice. There's not always an ulterior motive. Not like the guy needs more fans or more money, because he's got millions of both.

Oh I thought it was coming out of his own pocket.

So Johnny's pledge is more then cos the money is coming out of his bank account?

Johnny Gaudreau Will Donate $1000 To KidSport, For Every Goal He Scores.

Which surely means the Montreal Children's hospital will no longer be able to help as many sick kids with said $10M

Just getting the facts straight, OP was clearly misinformed. i think it's great that he promised to raise 10 million through charity. But it's quite a bit different than donating ~1/3 of his net earnings on his $72 million contract.

PK is a national treasure. Someone else said it before me but its so true. The Canadiens ####ed up so bad with this trade it's almost impossible to describe it with words. Idiots.

[Magnum PEI]

Well they made the playoffs last year, and by most accounts Subban was a petulant DB behind the scenes, so seems like a decent move.

By all accounts? Which accounts are those?

How'd Nashville do last year? How are the 2 teams doing this year? Jesus your opinions about PK and this trade are just awful.

Pk just makes me prouder to Canadian

I'm sure he'll end up ponying much of it himself by matching donations.

I can’t believe some of the replies to my post. I question things; I think critically. You should too. The only thing that’s “dumb” is blindly trusting everything that you see as being “genuine”. PK seems genuine. But how do I know? How do you know? To not even consider that there could be another motive to these videos is naive.

And to the few who have dared to paint me as a racist or a Trump supporter, there are no words I can write in response that won’t get me edited. To me, someone accusing me of wanting PK to do things the “wight (sic) way” or calling me McTrump is far more offensive and damaging than a girl jumping out of a closet wearing a see-through top. I guess censorship is personal. Anyway, to those two people, you know where you can go.

Can we just appreciate what this video showcased instead of derailing everything. Maybe PK doesn't have hidden intentions. Its a nice holiday video ffs.

IIRC he was pledging a significant portion himself. He seems like a great guy.

What’s your reason for questioning his motives?

But yeah for anyone making thinly veiled racial insinuations, that is very not cool.

Hey man, we’re just questioning your motives. You seem genuinely not racist, but how do any of us really know?
