15. Tonight’s tribute was something special. A moment I will never forget. I’m still choked up 😢. I feel so awful for the family, but it warms my heart Blue Jackets put on a heart warming tribute of Johnny for the Gaudreau’s. You boys will never be forgotten, gone way too soon, but what an incredible legacy left behind. A legacy that many could only dream of.

    Fly High Boys ❤ Rest in peace Johnny and Matthew Gaudrea. God bless the Gaudreau’s, the kids, and relatives. Stay strong pops and mom 😢.

20. Please don't drink and drive or let others either.

21. I cried like a bietch

22. 62 year old man.. watching this with tears in his eyes… Please …. please people. do not drink and drive.

23. What a beautiful tribute to Johnny Columbus put on tonight. This isn't the last time we'll see a Gaudreau on NHL ice. I think in 20-22 years from now we'll all get to watch the return of Johnny Hockey. Rest easy #13.

24. From Leaf's nation……….we are not crying, you are😪😪 RIP !

25. Pure class.

26. What a tribute. Very moving. RIP Johnny.

27. I love how the hockey community comes together but hate that it had to.

28. I was there…..very touching….

29. From a Jackets fan, thank you Panthers in paying tribute to Johnny. He’ll be dearly missed here 😢

30. 13 ❤

31. Jesus that’s rough. Missing man formation

32. Beautiful tribute. Monahan looking at that puck is heartbreaking.

33. Imagine how tough it was to play right after that tribute. Just having to make that transition back into business mode.

34. Very classy….something the NBA could learn…

35. Those men, brothers. But watching this was hard. Folks, don't drink and drive.

36. Rip ham & cheese

37. Next time don’t ride your bike on a highway at night 🙄🙄🙄

38. Great tribute ❤❤❤❤

39. Everyone was a blue jackets fan tonight

40. That was awesome

41. Great moment out of such a terrible tragedy. If my team can't win the Cup, I hope Columbus does just so Johnny Hockey's name can be edged on it.

42. One of the classiest things I’ve seen in sports.

43. What's next? Playing an entire period without a left winger?

44. Ooooh. Not only did they miss a left winger and use 13 seconds of game time, they also passed to puck to the missing left winger. They passed it Johnny one last time.

45. Somehow letting the clock run down is what got me. like… They officially "sacrificed" part of a real game, perfectly illustrating the real loss and real hole in their team, the sport and their hearts. Some stuff is more important than the game. A beautiful Tribute

46. ❤❤❤❤

47. What an amazing tribute
