Hug your kids, be thankful for those in your life, and say a prayer for the Gaudreau family today. Johnny always did. His priority was always family. My look at the essence of Johnny Hockey: sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/fl…

The Calgary Flames have offered grief counselling to its players and staff, as they navigate through the heartbreak of Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau’s death. Only three players who played with Johnny in Calgary are still on the roster, but the impact is being felt league-wide.

Flames players, Lanny McDonald, Craig Conroy and others assemble on the steps of the Dome as the vigil opens. Chants of “Johnny, Johnny” ring out.

“This is what makes me proud to be a Calgarian and is what made Johnny so proud of this city.” - Craig Conroy, on a night in which Calgary did the Gaudreau’s proud.

Johnny Gaudreau bought into the community spirit that makes Calgary so special. At a vigil to mark his sudden passing, Flames fans cherished those memories. (Eric Francis) sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/ca…

So proud of my city. If you were there last night, showing love for the Gaudreau’s and their family, be proud. It was a stirring show of support by a fan base I’d expect nothing less from. First class by the Flames. My piece on the memorable scene: sportsnet.ca/nhl/article/ca…?

Interesting to hear Ritch Winter report on the EF Hour he’s spoken to the Oilers and Leafs, amongst other teams, about Mark Giordano’s desire to play again this year at age 41. He also spoke to the Flames, but Conroy doesn’t see a fit.
