I woke up this morning, poured myself a coffee and logged into CalgaryPuck as I do most mornings. It’s a nice, easy way to start the day. But not today.
As I head to bed now, I just feel awful.
As bad as I feel, I can’t begin to pretend to understand the pain the Gaudreaus and their wider families are going through now. Twos sons, husbands and fathers - in Matthew’s case, soon to be a father - taken on the eve of what should have been a joyous day. It is sickeningly cruel.
I hope that the Gaudreaus get all the love and support they need at this time and for as long as they need. I also sincerely hope that in the future they get at least a crumb of comfort from knowing just how much their wonderful family has positively impacted so many people across the world, most of whom they’ll never meet.
