It is hitting me hard today now that the initial shock is over. Seeing pictures of Johnny with his kids just kill me. My heart goes out to thier family and friends.
Like has been mentioned, seeing him develop from an undersized skilled late round pick to one of the most dynamic players we have ever seen is like watching someone close to you grow up. Being excited to watch his first games as a flames, the hype was incredible.
Watching all the interviews, whether good or bad, you end up "knowing" that person. Seeing Guy at his games was always a treat seeing the excitement of a father for a son. Having Matty in the system was probably exciting for the whole family. His close bond with Monahan.
When he left it was almost like being personally wronged. Probably a testament of how much Johnny was loved by flames fans.
I have multiple Gaudreau jerseys I will forever be proud to wear.
