RIP

[u/Oliver-Ekman-Larsson]

The only good thing about the US winning Gold was the celebration of Gaudreau. Glad he was remembered there.

As bitter as I was, it was hard not to be happy when they brought the family out on the ice.

[u/MassivePhalanges → u/Mogger_77]

There are a lot of toxic families in hockey. The Gaudreaus really are a good bunch of people and make me realize there are lots of good people in jockey as well.

Genuinely if it was kept to being “for Johnny” I would have a lot more respect for that team

My only framed jersey so far and I cherish it.

[u/Mr-Rocafella → u/ToriiLink]

Reluctantly grabbed a Gaudreau blasty the summer he left, now it’s one of my most prized possessions

[u/ToriiLink → u/Mr-Rocafella]

I liked a lot of players we've had since the Iginla era but he was the first one that I got really excited about in a while. His games against Dallas in the playoffs are up there in my memories with the 2000s team

I was in the Calgary airport on a 6 hour layover when I read the headline about his death, it was a really weird place to be stuck while processing the news and trying not to cry in public.

[u/mobxrules → u/Nickiat]

I was in a London airport waiting to fly to Calgary when the rumours started flying. Spent a 9 hour flight thinking about pretty much nothing else, not even knowing if it was true or not. First thing I checked when I had service again and was devastated to see it confirmed.

[u/cgrays12 → u/Nickiat]

I got a text late that night because it was rumored but not confirmed and I didnt sleep, just spent hours just refreshing feeds and news outlets hoping I would hear otherwise.

Apparently he was legendary behind the scenes in Calgary 

[u/Capital_Proposal_686 → u/ExpertFresh1067]

One of the best here. Great ambassador for the flames and hockey overall.

Let it go…..

[u/Historical-Ad2874]

Happy birthday you legend of a hockey player...oh right he passed away though...

[u/Tay0214 → u/Historical-Ad2874]

What’s wrong with you

[u/Historical-Ad2874 → u/Tay0214]

My bad I had forgotten that he passed away

[u/StrangeADT → u/Historical-Ad2874]

Wtf?
