  1. They were groomsmen in theirs sisters wedding which was supposed to be in a few hours. Absolutely tragic and hopefully they can support and console each other during this time.

  2. Damn, that freaking sucks! If memory serves me correctly, didn’t the Jackets lose another player in something similar to this a couple of years ago?

  3. Wow I wake up normal and then when my brother wakes up he tells me Johnny gaudreau died I’m a penguins player but he was a great player RIP Johnny gaudreau

  4. Fly high Johnny hockey one of the best undersized players of our generation, I hope his teammates are ok and most importantly his family. He’s still probably dangling in heaven and skating laps on the nicest rink ever up there you rule Johnny

  5. Another drunk driver kills someone, two people in this case. Given our country’s track record he’ll probably get 1 year, if not a suspended sentence for time serve, then probation. He’ll be driving again with a couple of years at most.

  6. Drunk driving is wrong but were the Gaudreau brothers wearing helmets while they were riding their bikes? Helmets while riding bikes & seatbelts in cars save lives.

  7. Absolutely devastated. Truly no words words for this loss. RIP Johnny Gaudreau, Matthew Gaudreau and God Bless them & their family🕊❤️The hockey world will be hurting for a while..

  8. 😔 may God give the family strength to deal with this loss. Alcohol is a drug in liquid form. It's insane how it has been normalized and infact being pushed at the population for….sports, entertainment, celebrations, happy, sad occations. It is criminal.
