News Article: Gaudreau takes leave of absence.

[Unlimited Chequing]

We're pulling for you Guy. Here's to the pioneer of the Skittles methodology of hockey training!

 

[Tofveve]

Hope he takes all the time he needs. Best wishes to him, his dad and the rest of his family

Thoughts and prayers with Guy and family. Very difficult time.

Season is done, hopefully Johnny just stays home the rest of the year. Literally no point in coming back to Calgary anytime soon until like August or September, just stay in jersey.

Hoping Guy makes a full recovery and we see him in a flames jersey cheering the flames on in Calgary next season.

Read what happened to him on reddit (a Philly fan posted it), apparently he had a heart attack during a half marathon and fell and also slashed open his head.

There are more important things than hockey

Wishing the best to Guy. I've had a lot of respect for him since I read about his response to the the super bowl disciplinary situation a few years back. He's always sounded like a great dude who puts others before himself. I hope he has a speedy recovery with few lingering effects. I'm glad JG could get a chance to spend time with him without too many other distractions. Family first.

Father knows best: Guy Gaudreau had a 'nice talk' with Johnny following healthy scratch

“I was very disappointed in him when he got scratched,” said the father of the Calgary Flames star as he took in the team’s morning skate at San Jose’s SAP Center. “We had a nice talk. He’ll learn from it. I firmly believe Calgary is trying to build character and pride and an attitude of ‘playing for your team.’
“And I think, yeah, (the Flames) were justified.”

...

“I’ve been around hockey all my life, I’ve coached. And if you don’t have your best players leading the way you want them to lead … the rest of your team isn’t going to follow.”

There's more quotes in that article. IMO it really gave me interesting insight into the type of values that JG is taught at home. Guy has a good mentality, even with all the stardom that surrounds Johnny, quotes like these seem to show he's always trying to keep Johnny humble and grounded.

I've suspected for awhile that Guy probably played a role in Johnny re-signing here.

I've suspected for a while that Johnny's RFA status probably played a role in Johnny re-signing here

Big if true. I didn't know RFA status was the only factor in re-signing a player. Incredible.

That's awesome. It's sure refreshing compared to young players who demand a trade because they're not getting the ice time they feel they're entitled to.

You know like wadda Guy.

 

[JPeeper]

Can Guy Gaudreau be the Flames next coach when he gets healthy?

Surely he is an improvement over Gulutzan.

Best wishes from Leafs nation. We forget hockey is just a game and that there are bigger and important things in life.

Wish a speedy recovery

Sounds like Johnny's gonna be scoring, even if it's not on net

Pretty sure it's not a "real" account, like a troll account of someone trying to bait him.

That account has to be a troll account, it has some weird tweets.

So what happened to JG’s dad exactly?
