Man what wild news to wake up to… just a couple years ago he was putting up 40 goals and over 110 points… News has reported that he and his brother were hit by a drunk driver while riding their bikes.
Terrible loss

Just read the story. Horrible news. I can’t imagine what this family is going through right now. They were in the area for his sister’s wedding.

I saw that after the fact and the poor family.... for a time that there should be celebration, it will be marked with tragedy for those involved.

While I wasnt as outraged as others have been over how the driver reacted in court today he did not do himself any favors. I honestly chalk a lot of it up to either
A) still being drunk or hungover
B) in a state of shock

It’s just sad how many people get killed riding bikes in the USA. It’s somewhat common where I live that is why I choose not to ride a bike to work. Drivers here are terrible everyone is in a super rush

Some people say he wasnt taking it seriously or how he was seemingly dismissive of what was going on but I honestly just don't think he was right whether it be from idea A or B the guy wasn't there.
He seemed a little unhappy he had to spend the weekend in jail which I feel like leads more credence to him being out of it

The driver, Sean Higgins, 43, is suspected of being under the influence of alcohol and has been charged with two counts of death by auto, along with reckless driving, possession of an open container and consuming alcohol in a motor vehicle.
At 5-foot-9 and 180 pounds, Gaudreau was part of a generation of hockey players who thrived in an era of speed and skill that made being undersized less of a disadvantage. He scored 20-plus goals six times and was nearly a point-per-game player with 743 points in 763 regular-season games.

That was one of the reasons I liked to watch him play.... as someone who isn't 6 ft it was amazing to see someone under that height slice and dice up these much larger players

True but size has changed and so many of the players really had to be 6ft it was only recently that the smaller guys who were fast as hell and had amazing puck handling were able to take back their spots!
