I think Johnny is best left to just play, and not have to be the voice of the team.

This is flat out wrong, you will get flack because you made it up

Hating on the team for everything they so is one thing but this is too far. I have personally seen him at multiple events like others have posted about too.

Don't forget he has a beach house in NJ and isn't here year round.

Many/most players aren't here all year round. They all go home or to summer homes.

Yeah I know

I also know for a fact Gaudreau does a ton of charity work...it was a ridiculously misinformed post by a poster who is always negative. This isn't complaining about a game though, false personal attacks are too much I had to say something.

I hear nurses at children’s hospitals really dig guys who hate kids.

As if Johnny would miss a chance at being the tallest guy in the room....

Garbage take. Wonder why players don't like playing in a Canadian market? Be better.

I wouldn't blame the entire market for one stupid statement. People like that are everywhere.

At least he acknowledged he would get flak for it. We'd be so lucky to have all the dumb dumbs with awful bad takes have even a fraction of that awareness.

Some haven't been paying attention. Yes he does go to team mandated events like the wheelchair hockey game with kids but look at other events that some players went to by themselves like the Halloween visit to hospital and other events not team mandated that were done by players. Gaudreau doesn't show up. He doesn't do much for the community that is a fact. If you can show he does, then do it.

Ah the old double down. With added bonus of you prove that he does because I can't prove that he doesn't.

Nope you don’t get to flip the script. You made the allegation you need to prove your point not tell others to prove he is active in the community. You state this as a fact yet you literally have no credibility here so if your goal is to basically shred that then mission accomplished.

I did not expect a double down.

Speaking of, I think it (the KFC sandwich) gets a bad rap. Skipthedishes keeps advertising it to me. 640 calories. it's just 2 pieces of fried chicken with a slice of cheese and bacon. It's also technically, a keto item. not a great keto item but it would fit into a low carb diet. for fast food you can do worse. thoughts?

Yeah, you’d have to show there was (a) an event that (b) a bunch of Flames showed at but not JG and that (c) he was able to attend but chose not to.

And even then, more than one would be necessary.

It has been shown multiple times through the media throughout his career here. Instead of admitting you were absolutely wrong and owning up to it you double down instead on attacking a players character that we all know does a bunch for kids and people in the community. Just stop, enough already.
