Cha-Chaing: Charity Results for Canucks for Kids

A big thanks to everyone who stopped by last night for the game threads in conjunction with the Canucks For Kids telethon. I'll admit we didn't plan it terribly well (my fault), but we still managed to get a combined 1,721 comments on the books. At $.05 a pop, that's $86.05. We rounded it up to a cool C-note that Zandberg, Smoboy and I each plunked down. If you want to count Temujin's generous donation of the same amount, then we managed $400 for to quickly resign Ryan Kesler Canucks For Kids.
For the record, the last update on Twitter I saw had their grand total at $1,032,001 (or roughly double what our back up goalie makes).
It's a testament to you all who stopped by and kept the nickel rainstorm churning, especially the East Coast folks from PPP, Broad Street Hockey and In Lou We Trust and the guys we are usually knocking skulls with in the West (Five For Howling, Hockey Wilderness, SLGT and the brave few from Matchsticks and Gasoline). Karma points all around everyone, great job.

Once again
Great job by a coupla good Canadian kids (sorry Mike, you’re an honorary today).
Scrolled through the comments when I got home this morning. Looks like everyone had a great time for a very deserving cause.
I understand they even managed to play a hockey game in the middle of all chaos. Who won?
PS. I was very disappointed not to see a pic of Bernie Nickles and his oh so sweet mullet. Shame.
Is it terrible if I don’t know who that is?

The King? That would have been in line with the theme…a much as the wooden nickle…and Nickleback.
I’d have to read back, but was Mike using the Canadian or American spelling? Mike, are you sure you aren’t some 5th column Canadian down south?
;-)

Mikael Samuelsson ; " I was happy with it...Oh yeah. Sure"
Ah ha. Spelling counts. I was literally looking for someone called Bernie Nickles.
You can’t expect me to be too on the ball when I’m at the day job which sucks my will to live.

Hmmm…no response to a query about his loyalties, and tries to change the subject.
You are a 5th Column Canadian!
That’s OK Mike, I don’t think Homeland Security scans Nucksmisconduct, and I am sure none of will tell…

It's true

AHA!
Do you get some funding from the Samoan Defense League too?

Here you go
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.
Great job, guys. BTW: Cha-Chaing? You mean, Cha-ching, as in the graphic, right? Or are you just dancing for joy!
The opposite of serious is not funny; the opposite of serious is unserious.
One man’s ching is another man’s chiang. That’s how I was raised anyway.

You guys who organized, and everyone from here who posted, and all the visitors from other sites (even if they’re leafs or flames fans) make me proud to be a hockey fan. Fantastic job everyone.

Damn if I had known about this I would have participated. I must have missed it. Japan time does not make it easy to follow these things.
I have to go. But if I find one single dog hair when I get back, I'll rub... sand... in your dead little eyes. I also need you to buy sand. I don't know if they grade it, but... coarse.

Since I didn’t give my donation during the actual telethon I didn’t get my letter from Mike Gillis. I did get:
Dear Sean Zandberg
Thank you for your donation! Every dollar truly does make a difference and your decision to give and be the difference is the first step in an ongoing journey towards supporting and helping charities, and community campaigns.
This is only possible because of thoughtful contributions from people like you.
We hope for your continued support in the future.
Once again thank you for your generous donation.
Please contact us with any questions: info@pincgiving.com.
Sincerely
Canucks For Kids Fund
Oh, and I get lunch with Trevor Linden tomorrow. haha!
Once again, thanks to all who helped out. That was the best time I’ve had on here since Burrows scored the OT goal to sink the Blues.
Bernien Nichols
Oh, and love the Bernie Nicholls chatter in the comments. The man had 70 goals and 80 assists one year with Gretzky in LA – never hit 50 any other season, and only passed 40 twice. Talk about a flash-in-the-pan year (not that he was bad the rest of his career, but nowhere near that level).
How many other guys have ever hit 70 goals? Off the top of my head I’d say it’s only Gretzky, Lemiuex, Hull, Esposito, Mogilny, Selanne. Bossy maybe? Lafleur? Regardless, pretty elite company for our nickel-boy Bernie.

70 Goals
Just looked it up. Eight guys have done it, including Nicholls and the six I listed above. No Bossy, no Lafleur, but Juri Kurri did it once. How long ’til Ovechkin joins that club?

Ovechkin? Never. Somebody’s gonna hurt that guy real bad.
by Sean Zandberg on Mar 16, 2010 8:58 AM PDT up reply actions
Oh
I thought that was you talking like Russell Peters.
Leave my name alone Botchford...get your own.
now I’m talking like the guy from that crazy chinese(?) game show Most Extreme Challenge

Kenny Blankenship or Vic Romano?
Please allow me to adjust my pants, so that I may dance the good time dance, and lead the onlookers and innocent bystanders into a trance.
