Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau dies after being struck by vehicle while cycling with brother
Columbus Blue Jackets star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, Matthew, died on Thursday night after they were struck by a car in a cycling accident, according to a press release from the New Jersey State Police.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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..
😔 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.

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?

Fly high Matthew and Johnny
Forget about “dies”. How about titling it “killed”?
Talk about news you didn’t expect to receive when waking up this morning. RIP Johnny Hockey & Matthew. So sad.
Way too soon… take a Uber if your drinking. No room for drunk drivers. Rip
