Can't stop thinking about Gaudreau and his family. So heartbreaking...
In Memoriam Johnny Gaudreau & Matthew Gaudreau killed by drunk driver while cycling (MOD WARNING. No Flaming, Trolling, or Politics.)

I get that, but there shouldn’t be an expectation that a family member supports another family member just because they are wealthy. Go Fund me for Matthew’s wife and family seems pretty reasonable
I can see that. In any event, JG’s wife has stated she will take care of Matthew’s widow and child

Yes but she has two infants so there is a limit how much she can give
When I first read the title and laid eyes on finding out, my brain thought “Johnny gaudreau’s brother passes away”. It was so shocking to me being a hockey fan my brain couldn’t even comprehend the Johnny gaudreau part…really a shocking tragedy in the hockey/sports world.

The positive of being a public figure and star athlete in this case is after this unimaginable tragedy, his young children and nieces and nephews with have many interviews and videos like this where they can get to know him and have his presence that way.
As someone who unfortunately lost quite a few people close to me including 2 brothers in their 20’s I can say that it’s a blessing to have videos and clips. Just hearing their voice and seeing how they were gives a sense of comfort. Obviously it’s no substitute but I’m glad his children will have these.
Geez this hit hard. Johnny looked like such a good outstanding human being. Nevermind being an NHL player
I would love if my Oilers and the league put a #13 patch on their jersey this year

Would be a nice move to rename the Masteron trophy to the Johnny Gaudreau or even 'Johnny Hockey' trophy, since by all accounts that's who Johnny was and he was a source of inspiration for a bunch of undersized guys (like St. Louis before him)

My condolences to all the great fans in Calgary and Columbus. And mostly to the Philly/ NJ area. He was one of our own. He grew up with a Flyers jersey on. See his photos. He was an important part of the community in that area. I hope all can gain a little peace knowing he was a great player and person, as well as his brother. A tremendous loss . May God watch over them

I'm against renaming current awards/trophies but definitely think the NHL should bring in a new trophy to honour Johnny.
I'll leave it up to greater minds than mine to determine the qualifications.
I think we'll see USA hockey and college hockey also bring in a trophy honouring both Johnny and Matthew.
It's still so hard to accept, on the eve of their sisters wedding, two brothers, very family oriented, loving and supportive parents and siblings. Johnny becoming one of the elite players despite his physical size.
But no one knew it was the size of his heart, desire, and love of the game that would propel him to greatness.

Johnny’s number should be retired in Calgary and Columbus.
His pure talent was top 5 in the league and he made the league accessible for smaller players. Perhaps the most talented player to ever play in Calgary.
The driver….well… I’m curious to see the actual sentencing. What he deserves and what he gets may diverge significantly.

Awful.
I saw the headline talking about how Johnny will be remembered and thought "He retired early." When I read the article, I was sad to hear it was so much worse than that.
I hate drunk drivers.
My best to the families of both Gaudreau brothers.

I hope every team does a moment of silence on opening night for Johnny and Matthew
