Crying on my way to work. His sister’s wedding is today and he has two young children, this is a such a fucking tragedy. Prayers to everyone in his family💔

Words cannot express this tragedy. This must be devastating for his children and the parents.

God, this hits in such a weird way

Rest in Peace to Matthew And Johnny Gaudreau.

May god be with us all at this time And Matthew and Johnny live on through us.
God rest Matthew and Johnny soul

I feel absolutely horrible for their family. Riding bicycles on roads has never been completely safe but in the age of distracted driving it’s especially so.
Don’t share roads with vehicles on bicycles or motorcycles, it’s not worth it. You’re putting too much trust in other people.

What would it take to put an honorary jersey in our rafters for the season?

Fuck man. His sisters wedding was supposed to be today where Johnny and his brother were to be groomsmen. Absolute tragedy.
Rest in peace to Johnny and Matthew. Johnny Hockey was always one of my favourite players.

I was hoping against hope that the rumor wasn’t true. Something definitely needs to be done in his memory, one of the true good guys – not just in hockey, but in life.

I just read what happened. How terrifying! Every time I read something like this it makes.me sick. My husband and I are avid cyclists. I also drive a commercial vehicle 100 miles a day. Drivers are getting worse every day. I am so sad for the families of those two brothers 💔

Sadness beyond belief. His poor family.

Actually sick to my stomach. In disbelief. Like what the fuck man? He had two kids. His sisters wedding was today. What the fuck.

Super sad to hear about. This really sucks.

Absolutely tragic. So sad for the Gaudreau family, and for the Blue Jackets players and staff who knew him
Related note, but this being the second time a Jacket has died far too young in the offseason (in just the last few years) is shocking and terrible.

Whoa.

I followed him from Calgary to Columbus because I loved watching him play and was super excited to finally see him play in the stadium series next year, a talent and such a good human gone way way to soon condolences to his friends, family, team mates and all the communities he’s impacted over the years.

This is just gutwrenching. fuck man. RIP

This is so unfair. I cannot even begin to imagine what that family are going through. What a senseless waste.
Drinking and driving is unforgivable.
Rest in peace Johnny Hockey

I really think we should give people a new driver’s test annually. And it should be a lot harder. 50% of people who are out there driving around every day have absolutely no business behind the wheel.

This is beyond awful. I don’t want to believe it.

That is pretty fucked up. Sorry for the families.

He had his life all lined up
Face of a team, mentor to young stars
A young family
Just gutted for his family, friends and teammates

Wings fan in Calgary/former Flames season ticket holder. I basically watched his entire Flames career. Absolutely gut wrenching. My thoughts are with his family as they deal with this unspeakable tragedy.
RIP Johnny 💔

so sad 😞 i remember his days in Boston, taking my kids to watch him play… God i wish people could stop driving while intoxicated…. what a senseless tragedy

Whether in Calgary or Columbus, Johnny was a lot of fun to watch and played the game in a way that you wanted to cheer for him. He was one of my favorite players in the league, and I am going to miss seeing him fly down the ice.
He will definitely be missed by a lot of people, and the game of hockey will worse off not having him out there. RIP Johnny Hockey, you were a special talent and person.

Two Blue Jackets gone in the course of a few years. Kivlenieks and now Gaudreau.

Horrible news, no matter what team you support.
Think it’s fitting to put up his highlight reel
Gone but never forgotten
