I can't believe it.

Retire his jersey.

 

[hangman005]

f***en sucks. it's weird at the end of the day two people were dead, but so much of you hopes it's not the ones you know about it.

RIP Gaudreau brothers.

WTF? What happened??

WTF? What happened??

They were hit by a car while biking.

 

[bluesXwinXtheXcup]

I read he was in town for his sister's wedding

 

[JurassicTunga]

This is unbelievable. I can't imagine what his family and friends are going through right now...

One of the more entertaining players to put on a Flames jersey in a long time.

Rest in Peace Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Gaudreau.

 

[Mobiandi]

I am devastated

 

[Master Bill]

Pretty devastating news to wake up to after going to sleep hoping it's fake rumours.

Will never forget Johnny Hockey, RIP.

I read he was in town for his sister's wedding

Yeah, she was supposed to get married today... Just so incredibly tragic all around.

 

[StCaufield]

Double homicide. His poor kids won’t even remember him they’re so young. What a tragedy. I hope he or she rots forever in prison

 

[Boomstick]

So devastating, so sad. RIP Johnny and Matthew. Worst possible news.
Don't even know how to comprehend my sadness for his family.
I can't believe it.

RIP Johnny Hockey. Devastating news for the Gaudreau family, his sister's wedding was supposed to be today and now the family lost two sons/brothers and two little kids are now fatherless.

Absolutely brutal.

 

[CandyCanes]

Sending my love and hugs to you Flames fans. I know Johnny wasn’t on your team anymore, but I’m sure he created some amazing memories for you all the 8 years he was on the Flames. Heartbreaking day for the hockey community

 

[DCDM]

I'm so gutted by this. Which is to say nothing of the people it impacts far more personally like the Gaudreau family.

My thoughts are with them. What a senseless and cruel way to go.

 

[InfinityIggy]

Feeling angry, sad. I can’t imagine what their families are going through. Losing two young men to the thoughtless and selfish actions of one person.

Dont drink and drive folks. For f*** sakes.

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Deepest condolences. Know how much he meant to you guys for a number of years.

 

[Haatley]

Absolutely terrible. I've been up for 5 hours following this. One of my all time favourite Flames.

RIP Johnny, RIP Matthew.

 

[BRobMint]

I can't even fully put into words how much Johnny meant to me. He brought excitement back to the Flames after Iggy and Kipper left. He gave us fans something to believe in again. RIP Johnny and Matthew

 

[tmurfin]

Probably the most skilled player I’ve ever seen don a Flaming C.. Absolutely heartbreaking. Heart goes out to the Gaudreau family.. Forever a Flame..

Reading from a lot of Flames fans how much Johnny meant to them and I'd like to echo that sentiment. From following his post draft years at Boston College to playing for the Flames that last game of the season where he scored his first goal, you knew he'd be special.

The most talented Flame player I have ever watched, basically was the only reason to tune into most Flames games. The guy was our team for years, put the team on his back as much as he could.

I really hope the Flames do something really special for him, you can add me to the list of people who think we should retire his number. IMO he meant that much to this organization and the fanbase.

 

[BRobMint]

Monny signed in Columbus to play with Johnny again. They're both best friends. I really hope he's doing ok

 

[User1996]

At a time when there was almost no hope or anything to be excited about for us Flames fans, I remember going to Johnny’s first development camp at WinSport. That instantly changed the future outlook for me, and many others with the buzz he generated every time he touched the puck in that scrimmage.

That game 7 OT goal against Dallas will forever be one of my favourite moments.

RIP Johnny and Matthew.
