Matthew Tkachuk‘s trolling made a great impact, and not just by earning the Flames a power play. Thanks to enterprising Flames and Oilers fans, a drive to put up a Tkachuk billboard in Edmonton morphed into something much more, raising a ton of money – more than $50K overall, it seems – for charitable causes.
It’s the sort of thing that might even make Zack Kassian smile.

This began with a modest Tkachuk billboard meant to gently torment
The ball really got (t)rolling when Mohamed Elsaghir (self-proclaimed “second most-hated man in Edmonton after Matthew Tkachuk) started a GoFundMe drive to put up Tkachuk billboards to torment Oilers fans.
😂😂😂😂 FLAMES FANS LETS MAKE THIS HAPPEN!!
I’m raising money for Matthew Tkachuk Billboards.
