This is heartbreaking. The poor sister and the whole family. God bless them all.

[@g-urts5518]

Nothing but respect and love getting sent out from this Habs fan. I can't imagine the loss their family is going through at the moment. RIP Johnny and Matt.

[@JUVI9596]

Calgarian here. Johnny was a huge part of the Flames organization and community. Always a class act. RIP J and M

[@wayne6777]

Flames fan here. Crushed. Lived and died with this guy for eight years. All of the details about his family are absolutely devastating me. Thanks for the memories, buddy. Way too soon.

[@kierenfarrell4574]

Alberta and Canada is in mourning

[@wayne6777]

Yep. Devastated right now.

[@FryngeMinority]

Calgarian here. Our city is in mourning. Definitely a dark day for all of us as our hearts go out to the Gaudreaus

[@camh1149]

I'm affected by this. Is it normal ? I live miles away from NJ, but I am also a hockey fan. I hated when he played against my favorite team, but I feel this loss as if it were a family member that passed away. Maybe because he seemed like a genuine good guy.

[@mdsupreme1776]

Yes, it’s called empathy. It means your are human

[@misguidedangel6550]

Of course it's normal

[@Lava1964]

Well, I always hated the New York Yankees, but I was upset when Thurman Munson tragically died in 1979.

[@RenzDFNetwork]

As an Oilers fun, it was always fun to watch Johnny in the battle of Alberta. Thoughts and prayers to his family, friends, teammates and fans of both the Flames and Blue Jackets organizations.

[@Methequeen]

This story just gets sadder and sadder. Wishing the family peace and patience to get through this 🙏🏽

[@Monarch_girl]

@Methequeen right. My heart goes out to their wives, and the younger brother was expecting his first baby. Johnny's children are so little. I'm so heartbroken by this news. People really need to get an Uber or stay home!

[@lookitsjustin]

Incredibly sad, rest in peace Johnny and Matthew. Love, from Edmonton and OilersNation.

[@rockinrodlittle]

My son was born in 93 as well. Loves hockey as well. Same size as Johnny Hockey. Hits hard, this loss.

[@lenayoung288]

Condolences to the Gaudreau family from the Young family from Saskatchewan Canada. My late husband admired Johnny when he played for Calgary Flames

[@michaelrock2265]

I'm saddened by this, and I am not even from NJ. This felt like losing someone we loved... R.I.P Johnny Gaudreau... 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@DiscoParachute]

I'm not the type to be affected by celebrity deaths or whatever you wanna call it. I've been crying on and off all day. Wings fan giving his love and support. Heartbreaking doesn't even begin to describe how this feels.

[@rickboer7715]

How sad and tragic for their mother.

RIP JOHNNY

[@DataRich2525]

One might think the Governor of New Jersey would use his position as an elected official to condemn the habit of many to drink and drive instead of 'celebrating their lives'. Sadly, he said nothing. There is nothing to celebrate here and it's silently accepted by apparently all elected officials that drinking and driving is OK.

I actually have Johnny's autograph

I couldn’t agree more johnny hockey and Matthew were just minding their own business

[@timliao3701]

Sharks fan here in tears. I think it sucks when good caring, loving people like Johnny get taken from this world way too early.

[@JayLewisNYR1994]

Rangers fan here. This breaks my heart. I cant imagine what the family is gioing through. Speechless. condolences to the Gaudreau family

[@Lava1964]

Yeah, Bruins fan here. All things considered, this is about the most tragic sports-related story I've ever heard in my 60 years.
