How dare anyone question if he ever made good a pledge that he got full publicity pop on! These are the worstest people ever!
Dude, you have like 10 posts between two threads whining about the pledge and challenging everyone about it. Get a life.

name me one celebrity that doesnt get any publicity after making a pledge....
you think when Kim Kardashians does it she's doing it out of her good will only?
What about Geoff and the habs when they make the players go to the hospitals? they always bring cameras with them...

He gave the hospital an IOU. Has he ever made good on the pledge? Seems like a simple enough question.

Don't feed the troll , pretty obvious what this dude is doing. Internet is nice for these types of things. Says alot about a man's character.
Dude couldn't tie pk's shoes

Everybody is saying that we won the trade at the time because Subban retired only a year after Weber.
Reality is :
We made the playoffs 2 times with Weber in the line up including 1 first round exit. I don't count the covid playoffs because we were heading to bottom 5 fairly quickly at the time COVID it.
He was often injured and really, if he was a great leader in the room. It rarely made an impact on the ice except maybe in his last season where Perry, Price and Staal helped him lead the way to one last try before calling it a career. We could even argue that players were also playing for Price who probably knew he was done for even at the time.
We really don't know if Subban's decline would have been as fast as a Habs. He performed more under pressure and sadly for him. There was no spotlight or even pressure in markets like Nashville and New Jersey.
Subban was the perfect kind of personnality to play in Montreal. He was the perfect player for the fans and he fondly loved to play for us. He really had the CH tatooed on his heart and he was shipped off for a declining veteran who brang absolutely nothing to our team.
I'll miss you in the NHL PK Subban and thank you for all you've done !

Demidov is a HAB
Has none and now he's on my ignore list.
I only ignore racists, sexists and any other discriminatory losers that don't deserve to be part of society.
Yeah I was listening to his show the day Subban retired. He said he wouldn't take calls from people that have anything negative to say about Subban. Five minutes later he was saying Chara was a coward and had a bad reputation around the league.

I don't agree with George but he's probably saying this because Chara would just grab George and go to the ground whenever they fought, Then again that's a good way to survive against George lool

Normand trashed Subban and celebrated Chara on Laraque's show, he was probably upset and answered back with the truth. Laraque knows what he's talking about when it comes to the people in the league. I trust his take more than i trust Norman's
Those are all pretty bad reasons and really easily debunkable.
He never thought he was bigger than the team. He understood that being a superstar in Montreal could only reflect well on the team.
He played in a really rigid structure but he was one of the players that controlled the puck the most. He tried to make play and it paid a lot of dividend. He was a puck moving defenseman and the attack of the team came mostly from him and Markov.
Fights with teammates. The team was not going well. I'd rather a guy that fights and try than one that sleep and keep a soft personnality in defeat.
He had the skill to be a Chelios or Lapointe and all the time he was in Montreal, he played as such. He got his heart broken like we did and fell into markets that really were not made for him. He was a Habs throught and throught.
In Marinaro's podcast they actually said he did. And he was also present a lot with the kids even when playing in other markets.
So simple answers. Yes, he made good on the pledge.
listen to his last podcast with Laraque. He explains it pretty well.
He even if he couldn't reach it. it's still 4 millions of real money that the hospital got.
Maybe he removed the tracker because he reached his goal.

I did, which is where my question came from. He said he donated the $10 million, which seems to be the common misunderstanding of the topic. PK has done a lot of good for charities but I was and am surprised we never heard about the 10 million pledge goal ever being reached.

As I was mentioning before panties started being bunched and crazy screams of racist began - PK used to have a tracker on his website at https://www.pksubban.com/philanthropy
According to waybackmachine the tracker seems to have been taken down sometime in 2019 when he was at the 30% mark.
The simple question remains - did he ever raise the entire $10 million?

You're acting like ppl worship Subban because of the donation when its actually because of his Character and on ice play that people like him lmao. He could steal from children and still be a hero in montreal just because he played hockey good. Its not that deep bro.

I'm sure there's a percentage (an idiotic percentage) that are upset he/his foundation hasn't yet fulfilled the $10m pledge, but $4m raised by a (former) player who has not had any recent ties to the city and hospital isn't chump change either. He's still done more for the hospital than most celebrities from the area.
While his earning power is sure to be diminished now that he retired, he may very well continue to work towards his pledge. If not, or he can't, he's done a lot; not just for the Montreal Children's, but his foundation has helped many organizations.

You are projecting that I am acting that way. I was a fan of the player on the ice, I am simply asking a question. I am not responsible for the hot takes people have when the question is asked.

You confuse wanting to be informed with being upset. PK is the one who took the tracker down. He pledged to donated $10 over the 7 years of his contract so his earning power did not diminish during that time.

Because it's still ongoing, the pledge end in the current fiscal year, fulfillment will only appear in the 2022 annual report which will be released at some point in 2023.
La Fondation de l’Hôpital de Montréal pour enfants
Nous avons aussi reçu l’appui indéfectible de la communauté, des donateurs, organisateurs d’événements, fondations partenaires, commanditaires et partenaires corporatifs.

Just by looking around very quickly, the PK Subban foundation donate around 1M per year and PK Subban donate "more than 100 000$" (there isn't an higher bracket for personal donations than that, so it can really be anything more than 100k) out of his own pocket... So all in all he should be close to fulfill his pledge if he kept the pace for 7 years.
Not that it really matter, it's charity ffs.

Drouin raised about the same amount of money but did not create a scenario that got his name on an atrium.
And where was he for those years? Another country you say. I for one am shocked, absolutely shocked that his commitment was harder to fulfill when he was relocated, by no choice of his own, to another country. In a pandemic no less.
I thought that was taken down ?His own tracker showed very different numbers...
