[News] Confirmed: Johnny Gaudreau and brother Matt have passed away

Insider need sleep too in offseason

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

If they're gathered for a wedding tomorrow I doubt the boys called it an early night.

Knowing hockey circles, the texts would be flooding in.

Let this be debunked before our heads hit our pillows.

Yea, the longer this goes without hearing any official confirmation or denials, the more I think it might be legit. Pretty goddamn sad if true.

By the looks of the video, it is at a dark rural area with heavy rain where the incident happened. It is highly irresponsible for anyone to ride a bicycle under those conditions.

As an avid cyclist this attitude needs to stop. Motor vehicle operators are driving tanks and killing pedestrians and cyclists on a daily basis because they simply do not care to pay enough attention or drive the speed limit or drive to conditions.

We need to stop blaming the victim for incidents that are basically preventable if the motorist could drive safer.

I highly doubt they would comment on it until an actual release from the family or police comes first.

Nobody debunking it yet is not a good thing. So tragic.

This is starting to remind me more and more of the Kobe incident where there were rumors, nobody debunked it, but took some time for people to be comfortable to officially confirm it.

If it was a complete hoax it would have been debunked by now. Especially since it is his sisters wedding this weekend and they would have made sure to debunk the rumour ASAP.

What story is that ?

To me, the non denial by anyone right now speaks volumes.

I hope I’m wrong.

I meant if it is in fact the Gaudreau's.

This is how I feel as well. Hope we are both wrong.

Has anyone legit confirmed it’s actually his sisters wedding? Not calling you out just wondering if anyone knows.

[InternationalVillager]

at this point- it's kinda ####ty feeling that it hasn't been debunked.

Trending on Twitter. Please be false.
