1. I can’t even fathom how much this hurts that family.

2. This is absolutely heartbreaking. He only knew for a week, but at least he knew.

3. My god, it keeps getting more tragic. I just can’t…

4. Oh man…. 😔 😢

5. I was gutted when I saw his parents walk out behind the boys.

6. Just when I think this situation couldn’t have been more heartbreaking.

7. absolutely heartbreaking

8. How is it possible for this tragedy to get worse and worse…

9. 💔💔💔

10. Fucking hell, this shit just keeps on with the punches.

11. It just keeps getting sadder 😔

12. If that pos that killed them doesn’t spend the rest of his life behind bars..

13. This just gets more depressing. 😢

14. Gutted

15. I met their dad at the all-star game in Tampa – I asked him how to get my boy to the NHL. He didn’t say training or long practices, he just said encourage him and be a good dad.

    We talked for about 30 minutes, just a very sweet, personable guy who was very proud of his boys. I’ve thought about him a lot lately. I can’t imagine how he must be feeling.

16. Every step of this happening has made me physically sick.

17. Damn, it like keeps getting more heartbreaking

18. So heartbreaking

19. OMG. This is such a heart break. His brother’s wife is also expecting. This is just horrible.

20. It keeps getting worse. I really hate this timeline.

21. Well, Im crying at work. Gosh dang it. The story just breaks me every time I think of the kids. I lost my mom in my twenties and I thought that was unfair and I needed more time. These kids didn’t even get 2 years. They probably won’t have any personal memories of their dad. Their new kid will never be held by him.

    I came onto NHL subreddit to see the Nashville signings and now I am spiraling into thinking if I died my son would grow up without a father. And worse, the Gaudreau kids literally will grow up without a father.

22. Heartbreaking 😭

23. Fuck.

24. Watching that short video of her eulogy is gut-wrenchingly difficult.

    It seems Johnny was blessed with an amazing family and support system, and I hope those kids always know how much he meant to so many. Here’s hoping Meredith can find peace and have a relatively stress-free pregnancy.

25. A kid to never know their father due to a senseless idiot driving drunk…

    life truly can be unfair at times man

26. Jesus Christ…fuck drunk drivers.

27. Omg the more you hear about this tragedy the worse it gets!

28. My heart sunk reading the headline.

29. Fucking sobbing just goddamnit

30. Jesus Christ this story just gets worse and worse. I can’t even begin to imagine that amount of pain. I hope the driver gets what he deserves and then some.

31. Ok, this hit so hard. Not even Hollywood would come up with something like this for a drama. My heart completely breaks for the Gaudreau family.

32. Ugh 😣

33. I’m going to bring it up, but I’m really concerned about Meredith; it even mentions in the article that they’ve had three kids in around 3 years of marriage, which is already not recommended (doctors recommend 18 to 24 months after one kid is born)…added to the stress of her husband being killed by a POS human being. This is just tragedy on tragedy.

34. Unreal!!!

35. Oh, no…This just keeps getting more and more tragic by the day.

36. I didn’t think this could get any sadder but

37. I didn’t think this could get more heartbreaking. That poor family

38. Johnny’s smile lives on. Keep skating into the yonder Johnny R.I.P.
