[Aaaarrgghh]

Really unbelievable. I don't even know what to say. How terrible for his poor family. And his brother too...

He was an absolutely fantastic hockey player (my favourite memory is the off-the-wall pass to Fantilli). Most importantly, by all accounts he seemed like a devoted father and a genuinely good man. His time on this Earth was too short.

R.I.P. Johnny and Matthew

My condolences to the family... .

Gut wrenching. Rest in peace

This is so surreal. He just had another baby right?

 

[CBJx614]

I'm still looking hoping to see someone refute all this and that this is all just some sick elaborate joke. f***

This is so surreal. He just had another baby right?

Yep. On top of it all, they were both in town (not Columbus) for his sister's wedding today.

drunk drivers deserve life in prison

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

That sucks.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

I am absolutely gutted. I couldn't sleep. I know it was late but the more the night went on with nothing, the scarier it got.

I'm so sad. Rest in peace to Johnny, Matthew, and thoughts are with the family. I feel like crying

 

[KallioWeHardlyKnewYe]

Unbelievable. Gutting.

Popping in from the Buffalo board to express my condolences. #CBJ has been a second favorite team of mine since they entered the league, and I've spent some time in Columbus recently working junior hockey. Prayers for peace to y'all, the Gaudreau family, and everyone involved.

That poor family.

That's awful news. Condolences to his family.

Rest in peace

I can't even fathom this and why this stuff has to happen to anybody let along good people.

This is just so tragic on so many levels.

 

[Opak]

My condolences to the Gaudreau family, and to your entire organization.

 

[pscbj80]

I genuinely don't feel well. Came in to the day looking forward to college football/NFL starting and now sports be damned. I can only pray and think about the Gaudreau family. This is simply awful for them.

Sincere condolences from all in Western New York.

 

[QuizGuy66]

Deepest sympathies to the family friends and fans of the Gaudreau brothers. Such a terrible loss.

 

[Mr Orangeshirt]

Sabres fan here. Just wanted to give my condolences to the Blue Jacket fans here. I wish you and the Gaudreau family love and peace during this just shocking time. Johnny was always one of my favorite non-Sabre players and was so stoked that he signed with you guys and not one of the larger market teams. I am beyond saddened for you and all of hockey today.

 

[LazyCircuits]

Truly awful news…no words are right at the moment

 

[Habs13]

Jesus, guys, I'm so sorry to hear of Gaudreau's passing. What a tragedy. I'm at a loss for words...

I hope his family and the team receive the best possible support they need. I don't know what else to say right now.

RIP

B's fan here. My condolences to all CBJ fans here and the Gaudreau family. Absolutely horrible news. I got in my car and it was the first thing I heard on the radio and it really shook me as a hockey fan.
