Rest in Peace Johnny Bower
Such a senseless loss. Can't imagine what the parents/family are dealing with. Cruel.
RIP Johnny Gaudreau

Wow I had to read it twice to get the full gist. Too young both he and his brother to make their final exit.
My heart goes out to their young families in this the most horrible of times.
May they RIP.

No offense to the poster, but, getting killed by a drunk driver needs to stop from being called an 'accident', the driver knowingly got into a car drunk and murdered him.

The two brothers in the area for their sister's wedding. What should've been a happy time for the family has sadly turned into this.
RIP to Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau.

The rumours started flying around late last night and went to bed hoping it wasn’t true. Such devastating news and devastating circumstances. RIP Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau.
That was tough to re watch. He really is a bright light and like I said earlier I always had love for him. He took my cousin under his wing.
We lost a beautiful human.

I was stunned to hear this news this morning… A man in the prime of his life, along with his brother in the prime of his life, and to compound the tragedy it’s all a day before their sister’s wedding.
And leaves behind two young kids… Obviously we can’t say much other than condolences and prayers and what not but it’s just shocking how quickly and tragically lives can be ruined.
My only hope is that both drunk drivers and aggressive drivers who often rage and tailgate and weave in and out of traffic learn from tragedies like this and change their behavior, at least take pause…
Just hurts to hear about this as a human being and a father of two kids myself, never mind the Hockey aspect of it.

2 lane highways are stupid dangerous.
I don’t like driving a car on them, and I definitely don’t ride a bike on them, where possible.
Just a crushing and cruel loss.
Just mindless and heartbreaking.
I still can’t wrap my head around this.
My condolences and thoughts to his family, and the CBJ families and fans.
Hug your loved ones every chance you get. You just never know what comes next.

Inherently dangerous.
Especially on a bike.
Riding on a bike with cars coming behind you at 80-100+ km/h feels dangerous.
One car swerves 2 feet and you are dead.
Honestly don't even feel like talking hockey, this is gut wrenching.

None taken, but at the time of my post I didn’t know that. In fact, TSN1050 said that the driver stayed around and there were no known charges.
It’s still under investigation and I wouldn’t use the term murder.

Sean Higgins, the man who killed the Gaudreau brothers was over the legal limit when he hit the brothers. He admitted to the police he was drinking and likely to spend the next 20 years or more behind bars, as he should. Scumbag might get 40 for 2 deaths. Not sure how the law works there.

Wow. I thought that he maybe just had a drink (“consumed alcohol” as it was first reported), but he was outright drunk! Unfortunately his imprisonment would not return two young lives.

They are blood family members of mine. Quite distant but still absolutely gutted. RIP Matty & Johnny. We'll play some puck in the sky one day boys.
