Just absolutely awful. Hockey and its fans are such a tight knit family. It feels like we lost one of us.

Today was his sister's wedding. He had two young children as well. What awful news to wake up to.

Very sad, RIP Johnny, that's a blow for the Jackets, loosing Laine and Gaudreau.
The blow for the family is a lot bigger of course, the Jackets comes very far after.

Just had a baby recently... this is so awful. Drunk drivers deserve life in prison. Zero tolerance.
Unreal.
His poor family… what was supposed to be a dream turned into a nightmare.
RIP Johnny Hockey & Matthew. Gone far too soon.

Just devastatingly awful news.
It hasn't been confirmed by authorities the driver was drunk. The 2 men were riding bicycles late at night. Let's not jump to conclusions on driver.

This was posted in the main board thread:
PEDRICKTOWN, N.J. (CBS) — Columbus Blue Jackets player Johnny Gaudreau and his brother were killed in a crash Thursday night in Salem County, New Jersey, State Police confirmed to CBS News Philadelphia.
Gaudreau, 31, and his 29-year-old brother Matthew were riding bikes on County Route 551 in Oldmans Township, Salem County on Thursday night when they were struck by a man driving a Jeep.
Police said the driver attempted to pass a slower vehicle when he hit the Gaudreau brothers.
I took out driver's name although I believe it's public information now since the above is a news report.

f*** cars...
And I say that as someone that loves driving... but man, they are the most dangerous common day to day object that we interact with. So many tragedies happen because of the very mundane car (and now SUVs and mini Trucks)...
This is awful to lose young people in the zenith of their lives, so absolutely sad...

So horrible, his poor family. At his sister's wedding weekend. May he r.i.p.
Assuming reports of drunk driving are true, I hope that Higgins scumbag goes to jail a long time

Impatience behind the wheel is as much as a factor. There are a lot of dumb ass aggressive drivers doing stupid things to get somewhere 5 minutes faster.
I see it every day on the 401. Did the driver go onto the shoulder, then? Late at night on a country road. That's crazy driver time. Unless this guy is a complete psychopath, I feel for him, too. He made some incredibly stupid decisions that changed the lives of so many including himself.
