Pretty nice. It’s a beautiful thing to do and will end up being a wise investment for him. Not to mention, the love he will feel in the local community will continue for years. Think of JJ Watt.

Every troll knows you have to mix in some innocuous posts to offset the clear trolling or you'll be exposed.

More generosity:
@JJWatt and his wife @KealiaOhai have personally donated $350,000 to the
@HoustonFoodBank, providing over one million meals for those in need during this unprecedented time.

Something like this would have been a great way for the players to donate to the community instead of feeling obligated to pay CSEC’s employees.

Noah Hanifin in for $5K.
Edit: Jankowski unchained his wallet as well ($5k).
Also nice to see Jett Woo (Hitmen player I believe) chip in as well.

Well...
I’m just wondering at this point where the rest of the Flames players and staff are with regards to the donations. Every single player, coach and executive in this organization should be donating way more than $5000.
I will echo others’ sentiments that I am absolutely disgusted by this position by Flames ownership (even with their revised approach to it) and am reconsidering my fandom. Never thought I’d say that. 
Perhaps one good thing that will come out of this whole covid19 thing is that people will finally see how depraved and sociopathic almost all wealth hoarders actually are.

It’s great the fellas are all kicking in. Just kinda surprised nothing from Johnny or Lindholm yet and the 4K from Monahan seems weird.

Safe bet someone donated using his name.
Still a little surprised he hasn't donated yet.

“I was going to donate $5k, but I accidentally pushed 4 instead of 5 before hitting the donate button.” - Boring Sean Monahan (probably)

As we are accustomed, Monahan’s chequing is slightly below average and Johnny’s is non existent.
