f***ing drunk piece of shit. Guys, please if you're gonna drink get a DD, arrange for a cab / Uber, take the bus, do whatever you can but don't f***ing drive and ruin both your life and others' lives in the process.

I feel awful for CBJ fans. They cant catch a break. 2 years ago Kivlenieks passed away from a freak accident. He was part of the CBJ org and was really close to merzlikins. Last season they have to deal with all the babcock BS right before the season starts and completely derailed everything going into the year. And now this has just happened...
What a tragedy.

On a personnel note, this bothers me a lot. I hate that this has happened to a family and two young men like this. I hate what it's done to the family... the day before his sister's wedding no less. That's just going to scar the family for life, on so many levels. Sure, the wedding will likely be postponed, but even postponement isn't going to take the stink out of this. All because this MFer Higgins decided he was ok to drive home this time.
This also bothers me, because I'm a cyclist too. I've known people who have been hurt, even killed in the past. I ride on country roads, with less traffic, as it feels safer. I've always worried a little bit though, and each time you hear of something like this, you just have more reservations. I was supposed to go on a bike tour this Sunday... I just don't think I'll be able to do it.

Goddamn, Johnny Hockey…
A star player in his prime killed, when was the last time that happened?!

Only one I can think of is Pelle Lindbergh as far as legit top NHL players go. That's pushing 40 years ago.

Not the way I wanted to start the hockey year. Gives me the same feeling as Yaroslav plane crash.
Just gutted. Absolutely gutted.

As I cyclist myself who was hit by the truck (thankfully at low speed), I can only say that there are drivers out there that should simply not be on the road. Their driving privileges should be taken away forever. There were countless interaction where I warned drivers that with their driving style they would kill someone one day and then they would need to own it and not sit on the curb with their hands around their head and go directly to police officer and ask for maximum charge and punishment.
People should really drive to their abilities and not pretend that they are Michael Schumacher. Even Michael got into terrible accident himself. There is a lesson there everyone should learn. Stay in your lane, break and keep distance, maintain observability, do not assume that technology and great safety advances of modern cars will excuse reckless behaviour of driver on the road.
What a terrible terrible accident! RIP Johnny!

Yeah, I can see that on country road car could protect bicyclist until it’s very safe to pass.
In my particular case though, guy was turning right on red signal without stopping or giving right of way to traffic moving with green.

That will take their Capspace to about $10.5mm, needing another defender, and signing 33 goal scoring forward Jarvis.

Looks like he's had some work done. Nose job?
We need to pass on these players. He's 35 and been declining. On top of that he's slow
I am sure someone like Stevees could use a long look. Give Robertsson a good look in different game situations
So some impatient dickhead driver who was already drinking was the perpetrator of this tragedy?
The Gaudreau family/friends have to be scarred for life now cause some drunk moron was in a rush to get nowhere? Life is truly bizarre sometimes.
