My goodness this is heartbreaking. I cannot imagine what the family feels

Oh my God. Terrible, terrible news.

I know the skate blades are sharp (and we've seen what they can do) but this is just hard to believe.

RIP Adam.

Rest in peace. Sucks for the player that did it, he won’t be the same again. I liked him in his short time here, wish he got a longer look here.

All hockey should be played with face cages and neck guards. No excuse otherwise.

Saw the video... absolutely f***ed

RIP

I always thought Johnson was going to take the next step and be a legit top 6 winger. He always looked so good in the preseason.

I have no desire to seek out the video, it’s every player’s worst nightmare. RIP.

Everyone went out to battle that game, but everyone expected to come home

 

[Josey Wales]

YIKES !! RIP & Prayers to his family & Friends & Especially to the player that happened to do that to him, That will scar him

Heartbreaking….

RIP and condolences to Adams family.

I think 1989 was the last time a similar incident happened in the NHL, goalie Clint Malrachuk for the Sabres survived, he was very lucky.

Video was pretty rough. Didn't leave me with an ounce of optimism last night when I saw it. Was still hoping for good news.

RIP Adam.

RIP. Sickening and heartbreaking incident. The guy was just trying to hang on and do what he loves best and this happens. All for the love of the game. Think that league guys only make like 50k US. Condolences to the family.

 

[Gold Diamond]

I just saw the video. Defenseman was tripped up and lost his balance, leg came up and roundhoused AJ in the neck. From the amount of blood that poured out immediately, the blade must have got the jugular.

RIP Adam. What a horrible thing to happen.

 

[Ulf5]

Only NHL goal, 3 hours from his hometown. Where's that damn crying emoji?

 

[Sweetnut]

RIP Adam
I´m so sorry.
Thinking about you.
Love

Tragic news.

No need to delete, I made a dedicated GDT and didn't think to make his own thread.

Just one heck of a gut punch for the hockey world, both his family and all involved.

Score tons of hattricks in the sky, Adam.

I liked Johnson’s game, fast and had that kind of rambunctious that is noticeable even on TV. Like he was shot out of a cannon every shift. I remember feeling like if a team just plugged him into a 4th line sink or swim in a couple months he would’ve found a role as a Nieto-type guy. But just never got that window, as many others don’t. Still had a pro career many envy and got to play in the NHL and do more in his short time than most do in their whole lives.

We all gotta go and often times it’s too soon and not real pretty.

 

[BlindWillyMcHurt]

Man... the stuff of nightmares. As others have mentioned... I always really liked his game in his stint, here. Feel just awful for his friends and family. He wasn't even 30.

 

[Kristopher Letang]

Heartbreaking. RIP Adam, life is so short.

My heart goes out to his family
just a terrible, terrible thing

 

[Zirakzigil]

Its being talked about in the around the NHL thread. But Ill leave this up as he was a former Pens player. Tragic incident. Thoughts going out to his family and those that witnessed this.

One death is too many. Need neck guards for all players to be required. One fan death from a stray puck lead to nets in every arena.
