Johnny Gaudreau wasn't your typical professional athlete

Johnny Hockey was an an edge-of-your-seat, hold-your-breath kind of hockey player, who also bucked conventional wisdom with a stunning free-agency move two years ago.

That's absolutely heartbreaking. Getting the chance to play with your idol and thinking you have years to learn under him and be friends with him only to have him ripped away.

I still remember how the hockey world went into a frenzy when Johnny signed here, People couldn't believe it, hockey talking heads were asking why?, this site crashed for a moment. A star player finally chose Columbus. It was so surreal. Gone to soon Johnny. RIP #13

Such a tragic situation, I feel for his family and friends, the hockey community as a whole and Columbus. You all have dealt with too much tragedy as a fanbase. This is a gut punch. I don’t deal well with good people going early. Grieving with all of you.

RIP Johnny.

Why can’t the Blue Jackets have nice things?

 

[Sdrawkcab321]

I know it’s not really our business to know but just curious what happens with contracts in this situation? Does his family still get paid or do players have contract insurance of some sort? I just hope the family doesn’t lose their livelyhood over a tragedy like this.

Life is just not fair. Hug your loved ones as soon as you can, for we are not promised tomorrow.

RIP Johnny Gaudreau.

The absolute gall of Dom Luszczyszyn retweeting condolences messages and the team statement today. No, f*** off, Dom. You literally cried and reacted to the signing so poorly you had to edit your podcast to hide it, and have spent two full years actively mocking player, team, and city at every opportunity. You don’t get to mourn with Columbus or say a goddamn word about Johnny Gaudreau.

Penguins fan here, don't post on this board often but this hit me hard. Johnny Hockey has always been one of my favorite players not only because of his skill but because of his personality. Thinking of all of you Jackets fans and his family today. I will be leaving a stick out on the front porch tonight for Johnny.

 

[Canuckle1970]

My condolences to the Gaudreau family, and the Columbus fans and organization. This is devastating.

Today has felt like a surreal nightmare and any moment I am gonna wake up but I know...

Pens fan who loved Johnny Hockey’s game and somebody who saw the appeal of playing in Columbus. Underrated city and a good place to raise a family and made me respect him even more when he went there.

Such a horrible tragedy. Makes you sick. Guy had his best years ahead of him in hockey and life.
