This is absolutely tragic. I was really hoping he’d have a bounce back year. I’m sure we will show some class and do some sort of tribute in solidarity on opening night

He was a fantastic player and seemed like an excellent guy. The fact that his brother left this world with him too makes it so much worse. RIP Johnny and Matthew.

I know it isn’t Avs related but fuck man this hurts. And it gets leaked by some guy texting it in his group chat and reported early by Tim Peel. RIP.

Fuck drunk drivers. Literal scum of the earth.

Everything about this is devastating. My heart goes out to their family.

Shocking and heartbreaking. Sorry for his family and blue jackets/flames bros

I don’t know if it’s because I heard a lot about Johnny on Chiclets or it’s just the fact I’ve never really experienced an athlete of his talent passing in their prime before, but I’m really rocked by this news. It’s hard to even process.
Can’t even remotely imagine the pain that family is going through.

First Matiss Kivlenieks and now Johnny Gaudreau for Columbus, such terrible events taking away great people, it isn’t fair

Oh God, that’s horrible. RIP to them both and my heart goes out to their families. This is just so terrible, I can’t imagine the devastation those families are feeling now.

That story is very sad. 2 brothers gone right before their sister’s wedding. Condolences to his wife, children, parents and sibling/s. He also just celebrated his birthday on August 13th.

Truly devastating news.

So so sad 💔. I read his sister was supposed to get married today and Johnny and his brother were supposed to be groomsmen. Heartbreaking all around.

Wow.

As much as I loved to hate on this guy for catching the name Johnny Hockey, he always seemed like a good guy and a great representative of the sport. I’ll never forget watching him jump out of his skates at the sound of the cannon in Columbus when he was still playing with the flames. Nobody deserves to go out like this and my heart goes out to his family.

As a human, this sucks. As a hockey fan this sucks.
As a cyclist who was hit from behind by a drunk driver, I’m upset. Why. Does. This. Continue.
I feel terrible for the Gaudreau family. And for hockey. RIP Johnny hockey.

I’m going to get a “share the road” license plate now. It’s the least I can do. Nobody should die on a bike.

Devastating news. Absolutely devastating.

Terrible news. RIP Johnny and Matthew.

Everything about this tragedy is awful. I came to Calgary in 2006 on their slide back to dull hockey. When Johnny came in as a rookie he totally changed the dynamic and trajectory of the franchise. It was incredible to watch such an undersized guy be so effective.
Go Johnny go…

Ah damn that really sucks.

Absolutely brutal news to wake up to this morning. The rumors were out there last night, but they really seemed to just be some asshole on twitter trying to start drama.
Devastated for his friends and family. Just horrible news and events.

Horrible news to wake up to.

Hate these goddamn headlines. This was not a bicycle accident, it was vehicular manslaughter at the very least. Absolutely tragic for their family and the hockey community. RIP

This a tragedy RIP Johnny Gaudreau

Man. I live in Columbus. Losing 2 players in recent years is awful.

As someone who loves cycling and rides regularly, this hits close to home. Really shows how fragile life is. RIP to Johnny and Matthew and condolences to their family.

Truly a sad moment. Link to the news article if anyone can stomach it.
Condolences to the family, the Blue Jackets, and the hockey community.

You didn’t have to be a fan of one of his teams to root or Johnny Hockey. This is just absolutely shocking and devastating. The hockey world is a tight-knit community. RIP Johnny. Fuck drunk drivers.
