Apparently Redditors are saying Katie Gaudreau's (Johnny's sister) Instagram shows that her wedding rehearsal was today too

Peel double down

 

[Mighty Makar]

f*** sakes.

 

[The Kingslayer]

THis is so f***ed.

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Not feeling too good about this one, but obviously still nothing official yet and I certainly wouldn't consider Tim Peel reliable.

 

[BrickNHL]

Don’t trust Tim Peel at all but with everything else coming out… this is looking scary

 

[MonsterMack]

Edit: you know what, nevermind.

Waiting for any confirmation, but RIP the two young men

 

[PAZ]

Best case scenario someone really hates Tim Peel and is playing a sick joke on him trying to get him cancelled.

 

[BrickNHL]

Damn, I thought it was BS but Gaudreau's childhood home is very close to the accident

I googled that address and sure enough, the last street view picture (from 2019) has a Calgary Flames flag in front of it

Plus there is a picture of Johnny buying a G Wagon and it’s in the driveway of the house on the Zillow listing

 

[Balthazar]

I get that it's late but it's been going for 2hrs+ now, no one has denied this rumor and you know damn well that every insider has heard it by now. It's not looking good TBH.

What a piece of shit you have to be to drink and drive. Like absolute "I don't give a shit about humanity" levels of selfishness.

What a piece of shit you have to be to drink and drive. Like absolute "I don't give a shit about humanity" levels of selfishness.

And there are so many people who do it.

 

[Rumplesnipeskin]

speechless over the news, just gutting. Hope against odds it isn’t true; while one of my first instincts is anger (I’ve had to check myself, too), and I want to trash drunk driving, just remember to spread the love and positive support in this little HF community first and foremost.

 

[22FUTON9]

This is so sad… really hoping it’s just dumb people spreading stupid rumors, but it’s not looking good at all. Condolences to the victims.

 

[Bensch88]

What the ****?

 

[Metallo]

This is so sad. The CBJ franchise is cursed.

 

[Grigowski]

No words.....Just sad. RIP Johnny and Brother.

And all my best wishes to their family.

Holy f*** that's absolutely awful. RIP to both Johnny and his brother. Just devastating.

 

[RoyIsALegend]

My condolences to their family, especially Johnny’s wife Meredith and their children Noa and Johnny.

Must be absolutely crushing for their sister Katie. She’s supposed to get married tomorrow and they were on their way to go be two of her groomsmen.

 

[22FUTON9]

Absolutely devastated. Can’t even imagine what their family’s going through right now. Rest in peace.

 

[Hesher]

That is absolutely horrific…

 

[henchman21]

My heart goes out to the family here. Utterly terrible news.

 

[The Moops]

Unbelievably sad
