Hartnell falls four occasions at ASG, will donate $4,000

Scott Hartnell was prepared to have a hit Sunday in order to raise money for charitable organisation -- literally.

The Philadelphia Flyers' All-Star guaranteed to give $1,000 for each time he fell throughout the 2012 Tim Hortons NHL All-Star Game in their Hartnell Lower campaign to boost money for charitable organisation for every time he falls towards the ice this year.

On Sunday, he upped the ante to incorporate a $1,000 donation for every goal he obtained, but he emerged empty around the scoresheet. He unofficially went lower four occasions as part of Team Alfredsson, helping raise roughly $4,000.

His Flyers teammates along with a couple of others were happy to assistance with your time and effort.

"(Claude) Giroux was attempting to trip me around the faceoffs," Hartnell stated. "He got me lower throughout warmups once."

Toronto's Joffrey Lupul, a teammate of Hartnell's for 2 seasons in Philadelphia, was pleased to not directly donate to charitable organisation if you take him lower throughout the overall game.

"I acquired him once within the first period," Lupul happily boasted. "I'm not sure if anybody saw. I stated it after he fell lower. This really is great. He stated around the bus he would turn to struck me. We spoken about this a bit. He's only a fun guy. We built an excellent relationship playing together. Today both of us had the microphones overall game and that i could hear what he was saying."

Hartnell spent the very first period having fun with Henrik and Daniel Sedin from the Vancouver Canucks. He carried out with two aids in that which was likely a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

"It had been neat," stated Hartnell, who thinks he fell 4 or 5 occasions in the overall game. "You watch individuals men and also the little passes that shuttle, the give and gos. On that first change, I'd have it and throw it back their way. It had been pretty awesome. Following the first period once they required me off that line, I requested (coach John Tortorella) basically were built with a bad period. I was just joking around."
