it breaks my heart to be the first to comment on this.....but we just lost both Johnny and his brother in a bicycle accident in the town he was born.......long live Johnny Hockey.......CPT for life my dear friend!!
Let's get this straight. This was not a bicycle accident. Two athletic and highly skilled individuals were not in a accident... they were killed by a drunk driver. A bicycle accident puts the onus on the victims. Put the blame where it belongs, on the driver. A family is missing two sons. Tragic!
Rest in peace. I’ve grown up in Columbus my whole life and beside Nash & Bob, we never really had a superstar. Especially a superstar who chose to be here. Johnny was beloved by the city and was our superstar. Can’t help but cry over this loss. Rest in peace Johnny and Matthew and prayers to his family and friends. The city won’t forget what you did for us ❤
One if the saddest days in the history of sports. R.I.P. johnny hockey. The entire Philadelphia region, along with Calgary, Columbus, and Boston, will cherish your memory forever.
Not only that, but he’s better than PPG at even strength. So far, he’s at 108 points this season (38-70-108). 85 of the 108 (32-53) are at even strength. No one is within 10 points of him at even strength.
Johnny Hockey is an NCAA Legend. Greatest Hockey Player I ever saw at that level, and one of the most amazing humans ever to play the game. Matty was just as important to BC Hockey as Johnny was. Rest in Paradise Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. We will never forget
Johnny had some on the fastest skates on the ice. His ability to stop on a dime,make cuts and his sick crossovers was unbelievable on the ice! His wrap around the goals to score was unbelievable. He was just a special,very special talent. He will be missed.
Never knew too much about Johnny’s history cool to know more about him,he is my favourite player here in Calgary,hopefully we can bring home the cup this year!🔥
They are now. He’s set to be the biggest ticket unrestricted free agent this off-season. This season (as of this post)…108 points with 85 points at even strength.
@@jcoats5529 you’re joking, right? Darryl has helped Johnny become the hockey player he should be, and it will only go up for him from here. Hopefully in Calgary.
I saw him at a Denver game once in street clothes, right after he had signed the Calgary contract. Dude looked like he was about 15 years old…. Must have been 19 or 20 at the most. Hell of a hockey player for sure.
I played against his father countless times and have seen both parents teach him how to walk and on he went.....His families blood runs thick. This young man was a pleasure to watch just about any given day as a child in South Jersey at the Hollydell ice arena.....Total rink rat.....keep making us proud Johnny......
I had a good friend at Boston college. His name was Bill Maguire. Bill scored the first goal in the first bean pot tournament the Boston college in 1954. Bill was very close do the Boston college hockey team for the next 70 years. When Bill met Johnny gaudreau, he couldn't stop talking how about this wonderful young man. Not just an outstanding hockey player about a terrific human being. I don't know that I ever heard Bill talk about another athlete with the enthusiasm and respect that he had for Johnny gaudreau.. I'm speechless and really stunned and I feel the loss. God bless the Brothers.
This was cool! Now I can actually speak to how we got the name as opposed to just being a chump and saying it. He’s an incredible player. You should do one someday on Robert Thomas! Great channel!
Calgary in my opinion got the short end of it I have been a fan since they moved to Calgary from Atlanta and we deserved far better than what we got from him
good thing is the flames are looking to be the best Canadian team in the '22 regular season. they beat Tampa and Colorado so who knows if he may get the Stanley.
@@mikelaird5458 Agreed. Calgary is having an amazing season but, there isn't a team in the West that can beat the Avs in 7. Then again, that's what make the playoffs so damn fun. Anything can happen!
my friend Taylor Nelson was the goalie for ferris state when BC won and Johnny score two on him. He jokes that if that didn't happen it would be him in the NHL.
Took the Flames a few years to figure all this out. First they took a chance on Martin St. Louis in 1998 and later, then GM Al Coates picked up the contract option for the 2000-2001 season but when Coates and his staff were fired, that contract got bought out and St. Louis went to Tampa and later beat the Flames in the 2004 Stanley Cup Finals. All this time, Flames were drafting players built for the 1980s -1990s bigger, tougher style of play which was losing ground to the speed/skill style evolving. Today they have a number of higher skill smaller players that cost them very little in terms of draft position and initial salary. Those players are now about to be PAID!
You forgot Theo fleury, a 5' 7" phenomenon and champ in the 1989 Flames. big heart, highly skilled. should be a HFer, but his issues in his nhl later years have prevented him to be inducted in the HofF. I believe he will eventually. he was also world champ and Olympic gold medalist. and the most amazing thing is that he became a star in a league where roughness, size and retaliation were the norm.
Similarly, MSL, who played college hockey at Vermont, was seen as too small for the NHL. Letting him go was a huge mistake as now his number is retired in Tampa.
Because everyone in hockey is obsessed with height instead of skill. There are so many tried and true small guys Im not sure why its still a talking point.
I think the NHL needs more JG, great inspiration to the smaller guys who can play amazing hockey. I grew playing with a friend who was the smallest guy in the rink and probably the most naturally talented skater and puck handler ive ever seen, once we got to high school is when people starting telling him he's too small To play D1 and think that killed his confidence. I always wonder if he was given a chance if he'd woulda been the next JG or Theo fleury.
Amazing he can rack up so many points without going into the corners. No wonder he has such a great ± because he is hardly ever involved in a defensive zone face off. Great hands on "No Class Johnny Glass", no doubt about that. Ever see him get hit? It takes him a while to get to his feet and he is a detriment to his team because on the way to the bench he has to make sure he doesn't skate over his bottom lip. Oh, and don't forget about whining to the refs about getting bumped. He's like a tiny John Tavares.
Hahaha ya remember when that plug from great Britain put him out in the world's!? Don't know why NHL guy's ease up on him you see it all the time. Too fast my ass. Should be a grease stain on the boards.
@@DropthePuckHockey I couldn't agree more I'm a Blues fan and the flames have 2 of my favorite player Johnny hockey and Mathew tkachuk Hope they win it all if the Blues lose like usual 🤣

All hopes and prayers to the Gaudreau family
Justice needs to be served 😢
The ending line of this video is heartbreaking
Thought the same
Johnny just hit 100 points for the year last night so clearly, he is getting better and better!
With my team out of the playoff, I'll be cheering for Calgary!!

Thanks! That was a good time.
And now last night he hits 100 points this season…. What a steal for Calgary and reminding people why his name is Johnny hockey❤️
this did not age good :)
@@kharmanen6350 he gave lots to the city and team. For a 130 pound 4th round pick I will confidently say he was a huge steal

Legend for life 😢
Thank you for everything Johnny hockey
Johnny Gaudreau 28 years old still looks 12
Haha ikr
Imagine what he will look like at 60
Unfortunately he will never get the chance 😭 so sad man
Unfortunate that no one in the NHL speaks about him anymore. What a great player he was and still is.
They are now. He’s set to be the biggest ticket unrestricted free agent this off-season. This season (as of this post)…108 points with 85 points at even strength.
That's because hes on a boring team. Hopefully he moves.

Haha that’s pretty wild, he’s definitely grown up a bit since then and no doubt about that!
Saw Jonny Hockey in calgary in civillian attire, he had about 10 girls around him with Monahan at the club
True, he is a bit undersized but he's a gamer🤷♂️
I love the dad, not letting Johnny’s hopes up too much. If anything, it made him try harder.
I played against his father countless times and have seen both parents teach him how to walk and on he went.....His families blood runs thick. This young man was a pleasure to watch just about any given day as a child in South Jersey at the Hollydell ice arena.....Total rink rat.....keep making us proud Johnny......
That’s super cool, he’s obviously come a long way
Johnny just got his 100th (and 101st) point last night for this season! The whole stadium was screaming for him.
It was awesome I was there!
this video is really well put together. definitely made me a Johnny Hockey fan
Thanks so much, glad to hear!

I’m sorry but can we talk about that USHL team he was on? Johnny, Coleman, and Dzingel was probably a terrifying line
They didn't play on the same team. That chart was showing league scoring.
Johnny Hockey's Game 7 overtime goal brought me here
So clutch!
Great video! love me some Johnny Hawkey! 🔥
Thanks so much! Same here , he’s one of my favorite players in the game rn
Gaudreau and bread are two stellar players on the flames. Both are "short" be league standards!
Johnny is definitely in my top 10 all time favorite players list.
Thank God he’s on MY team.
GO FLAMES GO!
This did not age well...
The trademark nickname suites him so well haha pretty much trademarked going 5hole for awhile now his trademark is top right.
Fly High Johnny 🙏
Johnny is a perfect flame. Loves country, learns how to tie knots in the Alberta mountains. He’s staying.
He might come to Philly
@@don_vito7761 cap
@@don_vito7761 lol you’re dreaming
The issue is his price. Johnny Hockey will be the top unrestricted free agent this season.
Johnny is a Perfect Flyer. Loves beach, ties the knot to the Schuylkill river. He`s leaving
This was cool! Now I can actually speak to how we got the name as opposed to just being a chump and saying it. He’s an incredible player. You should do one someday on Robert Thomas! Great channel!
Thanks for watching ! And ikr his story is really cool and inspiring, and Thomas is having an unreal year!
99 AND NOW 100 BABY GO JOHNNY GO
Calgary in my opinion got the short end of it I have been a fan since they moved to Calgary from Atlanta and we deserved far better than what we got from him
Yep, sucks for Calgary that he left, we’ll see how he does in Columbus and how the flames are this year
The Flames are the best🔥🔥🔥I love Gaudreau🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
South Jersey lost a fucking legend
The moment he became a legend was when he scored the overtime winner game 3 at home Stanley cup playoffs in 2015
Had the pleasure of watching him in Dubuque for his lone season in the USHL
That must have been really cool
My coach played with him, he got the name Johnny hockey before college.
good thing is the flames are looking to be the best Canadian team in the '22 regular season. they beat Tampa and Colorado so who knows if he may get the Stanley.
For sure they are looking really good so far this year !

Hopefully this is the year the Flames win that cup! 🔥
Would love to see Johnny get one for sure !
Canada winning the Stanley Cup!?!?!? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@Brodozer39 yup it will be fixed for an American team, like Vancouver/ Boston.
Calgary Flames best drafting staff in NHL BY FAR followed up by Tampa finding 3rd round + gems

I don't know why people always talk about his size. Johnny Gaudreau is the same height as Brad Marchand, Johnathan Marchessault, and Mats Zucarello.
He is much lighter though. Some places had him listed at 135 pounds when he was drafted.
Because everyone in hockey is obsessed with height instead of skill. There are so many tried and true small guys Im not sure why its still a talking point.
It was great watching him in Dubuque #S4L
RIP Johnny Hockey
Great vid!
Thank you !
The Saints were in the first season back in Dubuque when Johnny led the saints to win the Clark cup.
Love your videos!
Thanks so much my man!

For sure, and that’s cool, seems to happen with a lot of smaller players but it’s changing now
I hope he comes to the flyers he grew up a fan of us so fingers crossed
Rest in peace 😢
No matter what if you are a parent you should support whatever you offspring do as long as it doesn’t negatively affect anyone and it makes them happy
Excellent video
Thank you!
"He has plenty of time left in his career." Absolutely devastating. You just never know.
Can't wait to see him in the CBJ cannon jersey.
I cant be the only fan who feels this way Can I?
his dad guy was quite the high school player in his day.he was a couple years ahead of me in high school in newport vt so I guess it's hereditary.
That’s pretty cool haha, good stuff
Go flames go
Calgary loves you and will never be forgotten. RIP Johnny and Matt.
Calgary had a really good run with Theo. So why not a small guy???
Old interview with his parents. They’re in the old snackbar at Hollydell. Where’s the penguin?
RIP 😢
I'm hoping Lou and the Islanders can convince Johnny to come play with Barzal. Those two would light it up.
They would be really good together

Oh wow , doesn’t surprise me
Remember when there was a debate over which Johnny was better? Safe to say things didn't really work out for Mr. Football lol
Haha very true
Failed to help Flames on the 2022 playoffs. But still a great player, I hope he sticks around.
That is crazy he was compared to Peter senja. I played against his son his son is unreal
Oh wow that’s awesome
How was he not a first round pick!?!?
He's like Marty St. Louis without the pure heart and determination.
A Legend In His Own Mind Because He Will Never Lift A Stanley Cup! He Does Not Show Up For Playoffs!
Good video
Thank you!
Shoulda Went to Canadian League woulda got drafted higher💀💀 If he coulda made it ij our Candian leagues back than
My god im still devastated of the team he chose to move to huhuhu
It was last night
Rogie Vachon , Kings goalie, was a little guy also. I think he was 5'7".
Philadelphia Flyers could use this skilled player.....

If only the flyers put out an offer for him fml
Funny Coleman was ahead of him in points and they on same tam and Johnny top player in league and Coleman 3rd liner💀💀
johnny ham and cheese!!!!!
I am shark fan rip Johnny hockey 💐
got caved in by the avs in the playoffs when he got 99, couldn’t get the puck in the zone, good for half a point a game if he’s lucky
Hey we will see, that was a much different team
The irony is that his football namesake will remain a draft bust footnote in his league while Johnny H can make it to the Hall in his. .
Ikr, it’s pretty wild
