CBJ fan here sharing sympathy with the Flames fan base. We know you all loved and embraced Johnny and already mourned him once when he came to Columbus. But this time we’re all mourning together, all of his teams’ fans united in grief and disbelief. Just wanted to recognize how difficult I’m sure this is for you all.

I went to the memorial at the Dome today. You could hear a pin drop. Dozens and dozens of jerseys and flowers along with messages written on the ground in front of the west entrance.

This is a bit cheesy but thinking of you guys. I spend an inordinate amount of time on this website just reading and shooting the shit. Being a Flames fan is a big part of my life and all of us here no doubt. Johnny was such a big part of our fandom since his rookie season.

Anyways, stay safe y’all and hug your loved ones.
 
Still pretty emotional about this. He was awesome for Team USA representing the country (future USA hall of famer no doubt) As a fellow smaller guy he was a guy I gravitated towards playing a game full of big guys and kicking ass.

A terrific player. One of the best players in Calgary Flames history in my opinion. I hope #13 is forever hanging in the rafters.

I went as well. Sat for about an hour. Steady stream of people showing up. One guy had a book people were signing he was going to send to the Gaudreaus. Always good to see the hockey community come together, even if due to a tragedy such as this. I remember the Humboldt Broncos and the sticks out across the country(s). Happy to have you fellas too, lot of my friends aren't super big on sports so don't get what a guy like Johnny meant to me.

It's so hard to fathom. Makes zero sense for this to happen. I went to a football draft tonight and had a great time wish some amazing friends. Everyone in their NFL gear, I wore a Flames shirt. Wanted to wear my Gaudreau jersey, but we were outside and it was way too hot.

Thank you for those who are going to the Dome and the CBJ arena, I wish I could join you. I may take a trip to Columbus, not sure yet. About a 5 hour drive from where I am in Ontario.

Love you all too, and it's always a pleasure watching Flames games with you all.

Miss you and love you Johnny. Gone way too soon. Just heartbreaking.
 
Thanks for the gif btw @Lunatik. Haven't changed my profile pic in my 6 yrs being here, but I think I'll keep this one for a bit.
No problem... we're in this together.

if you're like me, no one else is as hockey crazed and doesn't understand the depth of my reaction to this. y'all are the only ones that get it.
