Unbelievable tributes/eulogies from Meredith and Madeline for Johnny and Matt.

[Royle9]

Hugging my boys tighter today for John and Matty, truly unfair and absolutely shattering.
Meredith and and Madeline honored them both so beautifully.

RIP

[Ashasx]

I can't think of a group of people that deserved this pain less than the Gaudreaus. We were lucky to have had them in Calgary for so long.

Meredith talking to and about Sean broke me. Kevin too.

[Hot_Flatus]

Unbelievable there is another child on the way as well. Just incredibly tragic incredibly amazing all at the same time.

[Hockey_Ninja]

Meredith's speech was hard to get through without tearing up. Those sections about Calgary and Monny got me good. And she's pregnant with their third child too. This tragedy is just too much man

[Ashasx]

Sean... goodness...

[FanIn80]

Sean in tears, looking so broken

[Royle9]

I had to respectively turn it off, seeing the heart break on Monahan and then Guy is just too much for me.

Sorry, I'll add that I'm humbled and honored that they shared this with us fans at a time when they're most vulnerable.

[LowellK21]

Watching Guy walk out with Jane and his daughters was soul crushing...... Damnit.

[Gaudfather]

Such strong women and beautiful eulogies, it is hard to imagine their pain and loss. Calgary's love to the Gaudreau family will not end.

[BigBrodieFan]

This is just too much sorrow for anyone to bear. Why do bad things happen to good people? So sad.

[SuperMatt18]

Guy...

[dammage79]

Seeing those families just torn up like that was heartbreaking. Guys was a shattered mess following his boys out of the church. Monahan too. That was gutting.

Oh gawds, seeing Monahan & then Jane & Guy was when I really kind of lost it. Those girls were practically holding their parents upright.

Wait, both Madeline and Meredith are pregnant?

A fundraiser set up to support the widow and unborn child of Matthew Gaudreau, the brother of former Columbus Blue Jackets star forward Johnny Gaudreau, has raised nearly $600,000, as of Wednesday evening.

The GoFundMe stated an original goal of $30,000, but is currently at $594,238, through the generosity of the nearly 8,200 individual donations. Matthew's widow, Madeline, is pregnant and expecting the pair's first child, according to the Associated Press. The GoFundMe states the child's name as Tripp and says all donations will be transferred directly to Madeline. Holland Korbitz, who is Madeline's sister per the AP, organized the GoFundMe.

Yes she (Meredith) shared during her speech that she's 9 weeks pregnant with John's 3rd and it wasn't public knowledge until now.
