I'm fine with locking him up until the twelfth of never.

Ahh so we want support vile humans who say he doesn’t look impaired. Cool story bro.

He blew above the limit. Doesn’t matter if he’s stumbling or not. He was a drunk piece of ####.

Gullfoss is terrible.

The bottom line is he killed two people, whether he was drunk or not shouldn't matter. What matter is two innocent young men are dead. If he was drunk and he chose to drive and should be severely punish. If he wasn't drunk, even worse. He was sober and chose to drive recklessly and dangerously, and should be punish severely. I hate all drunk drivers for the obvious reason, I also hate all reckless drivers. I just want him to spend a long time in jail so he won't be on the road again and running people down.

He was drunk. GF is arguing his "level of drunkenness" which is an odd thing to bring up. And it doesn't matter. He was drunk, legally.

That's not what I said at all. Try reading next time.

If you think GullFoss is a vile human based on that one post, maybe you'd better look in the mirror at the guy who makes those kinds of absolute judgements about other people. Because, you know, that's kind of a vile thing to do.

Just thinking out loud, but I’d be in favour of renaming Row G in Section 113 “Row Guy”.

I think about this poor man every day, and I’m in awe of his strength.

Edit:moved to off-topic Higgins thread

[GullFoss]

This was a really reckless individual who shouldn't have been behind the wheel. Two prior crashes and a prior DUI.

According to court records, Higgins had two prior cases in North Carolina during the early 2000s. The records show he was charged with DWI in 2005 but the charges were voluntarily dismissed due to the officer involved not showing up in court. Higgins also had a speeding ticket in 2001 that was dismissed because of his good driving record at the time.

Through an open records request to New Jersey's Motor Vehicle Commission, we were able to see that Higgins was involved in two car crashes: One in 2016 and the other in 2021.

There should not be any plea bargaining at all, lock him up and throw away the key!

Katie Gaudreau made a beautiful post on Instagram today

[Buzzard]

..and that felt like a blanket full of love right back.

What a great family.

[Locke]

They're always welcome.

You know...fans in this city ADORED Gaudreau, but you know its something special when the whole city loves that Family.

As long as Calgary is here, you're never alone.

[Jiggy_12]

The Calgary Stampede should invite Guy Gaudreau to be the parade marshall for next year

[TrentCrimmIndependent]

Every Calgarian's spirit family.

Hopefully there are more occasions to have them back in the future.

I think they know they're welcome anytime!

Maybe get them to cut the ribbon at the opening of the new Arena? Better than the Mayor or *shudder* if Smitty is still Premier...

[FanIn80]

Hire Guy for some type of coaching position so he gets to work closely with the guys. Get Katie and Mama Hockey working here too. Katie's a teacher, she could work in some capacity with the Hitmen or Wranglers. I don't know about Jane... I want to say she's also a teacher, but I'm not entirely sure about that.

The point though, is that these folks are the quality of people that we want in our organization. Lots of moving parts to make anything like this happen, and I'm sure it never will.... I'd still like to see it though.

[jayswin]

No, they talk about calgary as their second home and they mean it for everything that happened here with Johnny and themselves as he rose to stardom. But make no mistake, this is a tight knit, far reaching family and extended family in the Philly area.That's where they'll stay and grow together.

There is a separate thread for updates on the legal proceedings for the scumbag driver. Can we use that one for anything related to him and keep this one for positive stories about the Gaudreau's?
