I can't imagine what his wife and kids are going through. Just unreal.

I can't imagine what his wife and kids are going through. Just unreal.

It honestly my worst nightmare. I can’t imagine what his family or his parents are feeling losing both sons. Jesus

 

[yahhockey]

RIP to them and condolences to anyone who had any type of relationship with them.

 

[Chainshot]

Sticks out for Johnny and Matthew.

 

[Jim Bob]

Columbus with another just tragic loss of a player that was still so, so young.

The Blue Jackets can't invest enough in mental health care for everyone in their organization.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Terrible

Kivlenieks was the first guy i thought of when reading about this TBH. Talk about a bad run of events specifically for them as a club as well as the hockey world in general..

I have always had a soft spot for them because they remind me so much of my Whalers in countless ways. It's just even more awful in context of Columbus being an unfancied place to get out and then one day the biggest UFA decides "I choose the Jackets". Something good finally happened to a woebegone franchise only to end up an unimaginable tragedy.

 

[Mike McDermott]

Absolutely horrible. I can’t even imagine.

 

[MarkusKetterer]

I read about this last night right before bed. I was gonna mention it on here, but didn’t wanna post any unconfirmed rumours.

Such a shitty way to go. RIP Johnny and Matthew.

so sad. Other than the drunk driving what pisses me off is that people drive like f***ing maniacs on the road, sober or not. Slow down people.

Near their home on top of that when they need it to be a safe space the most.
So sad for everyone involved.

 

[Dubi Doo]

I feel like I handle death pretty well. I deal with it a lot at work. Johnny G passing caused my eyes to water a bit. Absolutely tragic and shocking. I can't imagine what his family is going through. Yeah, this one hurts a bit. RIP.

 

[Zach716]

What an absolute tragedy for the Gaudreau family. RIP Johnny and Matthew

 

[DapperCam]

RIP to Johnny. We need physical barriers for bike paths in areas with traffic. Cars aren’t trustworthy around bikes.

 

[TehDoak]

I was reading about it before the news broke.

Back in Chicago, I biked to work everyday. Cars were aggressive, but typically gave bikes space.
When I moved to BFE PA, trying to ride on the road was a completely different story. People were angry at me for merely existing on the road. I pretty much stopped biking then, though, I have been trying to get back into it lately.

When I was googling that county and bike accidents to try to get more news, they have a surprising amount of issues for an area so small.

Watch out of Bikes when on the roads, especially with it being the last holiday weekend of the summer.

 

[WiHockeyGuy]

Unreal news. I simply can't fathom what the Gaudreau family is going through. Prayers for them for sure.

Don't drink and drive, people. It's not just about avoiding a ticket and arrest. It's about not harming the lives of the innocent. Johnny and Matthew are gone because someone was negligent and selfish. Now the lives of his wife and children are forever changed. Their sister had them as part of her wedding party that's supposed to take place this weekend, i believe. What should have been a happy family gathering has turned into a tragedy. RIP to both Johnny and Matthew.

 

[TheStorm]

My god that is grim news to wake up to. I hope their family is doing ok or at least as well as one can be in this situation. f***ing drunk drivers

 

[truthbluth]

f***

 

[Fjordy]

I'm shocked. RIP

When will these bastards who get drunk and get behind the wheel, just murderers.

It's crazy enough that 2 NHL players have died in freak summer accidents in recent memory, and even crazier that they both happened to play for the same team. What a terrible loss that that organization, the guys in the locker room, and -- most of all -- for those players' families.

RIP Johnny Hockey.

I hope they throw the book at the driver who killed him and his brother. It's tragic enough how many cyclists are killed by negligent or outright hostile drivers every year, and even more tragic how few of them get any sort of justice. Hopefully the high-profile nature of this particular case puts some spotlight on the issue.

This country does the bare minimum to "train" and license a driver (in the western world). It's infuriating

Oh jeez. The sister's planned wedding adds another level of tragedy to this. Imagine you've looking forward to a big family celebration like that, and then this happens. f***ing hell.
