Apparently he and his brother were together because today is their sister's wedding.  Good Lord.

 

When my son was little, Kevin Hayes brought us into the BC hockey locker room after a game.  Hayes asked my son who his favorite player was.   My son quickly responded "probably your brother."  He thought about it for a moment and then added, "Oh, or Johnny Gaudreau."  Now they're both gone.

My God, what a terrible tragedy.  It just is unbelievable for this to happen and his sister's wedding will be so sad.  Just makes me sick at heart, God Bless you Johnny and Matt.  Gone too soon :rose:

I would've postponed the wedding.

Oh that's so sad.  I guess when Johnny and Matt were little kids, they got to meet Bernie Parent in the locker room.  Just awful news for their families. :shakehead:

They may have, I hadn't heard but who knows?  It's just terrible in so many ways. 

 

It just keeps getting more tragic, now I heard his wife is expecting.  So that baby won't ever know his daddy.

Heartbreaking. :rose:

Correction...it is his brother's wife Matthew who is expecting their first child.  Still so sad :sad:

Awful and so very sad. RIP.

 

 

 

When thinking about the knock-on effects on the family, there's no punishment enough.

Sad that the guy who hit them is said to be a former police officer.  He knew better, couldn't wait 10 minutes to get around the other cars. :rage:

I don't think I've ever felt so crestfallen about the death of a professional athlete.  He was one of the good ones.

Saw clips of Johnny and Matthew's memorial service Monday.  Heartbreaking to know both will have children born after they were gone.  Johnny's wife confirmed at the funeral she is expecting and Matthew's wife is expecting too.  Hope those two kids will have as close a bond as their fathers did.  :rose::hug2:

Cole Caufield will wear no.13 this season.   :smile:

I saw that, Cole was close to Johnny when they were teammates.  Classy act. :heart:

The faceoff with Johnny's position open made me choke up, then they waited 13 seconds before beginning play.  Heavy hearts all around.  Such a damn shame, it really is a loss for all of hockey.  Great player and even better person, his brother too. :rose:
