vladdy16 2,154 Report post Posted April 12, 2015 Yes, it's our favorite time of year, folks! For those of you who know how this works, pledge early and often. For those of you who don't, those who want to participate figure out some kind of financial pledge having to do with the Wings playoff performance. Some pledge a buck a goal for certain players, some pledge per win, per series, per shutout, or any combination. Get creative! Don't get too complicated though, because it gets hard to keep of. Post your pledge here so we can shamelessly "plus" your post. When it's not possible to add any more to the kitty, everyone Paypals me their total and I make a donation. Now, all but one year we have donated to Children's Hospital. I'm fine if everyone wants to keep it that way, but I'd like to suggest we send this season's donation to a local charity started by a 12-year-old when he was 9. He spends every single Saturday feeding the homeless in Detroit. I've been following him on Facebook for quite a while now and he's starting to get a lot of press. All signs point to this being a legit charity. Check out the Eimers Foundation here and here. When you pledge, vote for either Children's Hospital or the Eimers Foundation; both are worthy recipients, so I certainly won't be offended either way.

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 13, 2015 Yes! Thanks for doing this again. Either charity is fine, although I tend to lean towards children's hospitals. There is no wrong answer if the money is going towards a good cause. I'm going with the hamster bet again. And, again, I'll keep track in my sig because it would be impossible otherwise. $1 for each goal scored by a Wing after whom I've named a hamster (must still play for the Wings, sorry Filppula). An additional $1 if the above-mentioned goal scored is a GWG. An additional $5 if it is a GWG in a series-winning game. An additional $50 if it is the GWG that wins us the Cup. $5 for each time a goalie after whom I've named a hamster prevents all opposing shots from going in the net. The hamsters names are as follows (current Wings in red) Henrik Pavel Tomas Nicklas Dominik Niklas Matthieu Daniel Robert Johan Andreas Valtteri Jonathan Andrew (Drew) Patrick Ian Todd Jordin Damien Gustav James Go Wings! 7 UpstateNYRedWingsFan, derblaueClaus, BottleOfSmoke and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

troubadour 40 Report post Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) My favorite time of the year! I'll do (sort of, I think) the same pledge as last year, because it was so fun to keep track! x cents per goal, based on scorer's jersey number. 1/2x for assists, 2x for power play goals and 3x for a shorty. Each game I'll also do something different, based on that game only. Game 1 vs Tampa will be 13c per Datsyuk faceoff win. LGW!!

55fan 5,133 Report post Posted April 21, 2015 Pavel's first goal has been changed to Jurco. I will still honour the dollar pledged since I've already pledged it. The Wings need to score some more. I will round up to a decent pledge if necessary, but I'd rather they earned it with a long and successful post-season. 1 Jersey Wing reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
