Ditto. Whatever else he is or was, he's still a young man with a young family.

Before that news report (meaning it couldnt be piggy backing off that report and connects with what was reported). Not good.

Crossing all my crossables that this is not true. Whether or not it is, I'm just really glad I got the chance to see him play at the Dome a couple of times - it's an entirely different thing to watch live, than on the TV.

Just feel sick to my stomach, hoping this is not true. But longer this hangs out there without denials, the more I’m losing hope.

I would contend against the phrase "the people deserve to know."

'Deserve' is, in my opinion a strong term.

The people will know, he's a public figure. But in due time and course.

In the meantime 'the people' dont deserve jack all.

You know who deserves time and sympathy? The family.

I agree. Not my words, just sharing what I found.

I’ve just woken up to this rumour. It doesn’t need to be said how concerned I am and how much I hope for him and his family that this isn’t true.

Devastating. Gaudreau was one of my favorite Flames.

Anyone can say anything on the internet. Unfortunately the silence from anyone credible is deafening.

Hoping to wake up to this all being a fake rumor somehow.

If it turns out to be not true. Then may whatever god that watches over us all take note of those who took this too far.

If it turns out to be true, use some tact. Yes, there's ppl all over wanting some verification but allow the process to mete itself out in its own due course.

I'm ashamed myself for following this like I am, knowing there's a very very good family grieving at a time when they're preparing for a joyous celebration which will be cancelled.

It's a sad day all around. Whether the rumor is true or not, this is a sad reminder that life is fleeting.

I agree. Too deafening of a silence from a sports media that never passes up the opportunity to chime in on anything buzzworthy. Don't like it.

Not too many sports media are up and working at this hour of the night.

Oh I know. No indictment against you. Its just that sometimes people feel that they 'deserve' things that they have no right to.

We'll be told when we're told. At the appropriate moment. In the meantime there are people who actually do 'deserve' things like clarity and privacy and (hopefully not) mourning time.

Until then? We the public deserve nothing.
