RIP to a guy that truly represented the predator way. a truly great human.
Even before his Preds days, I was following the college circuit a lot more closely in those days and Johnson was really a hot item in college hockey. He really tore it up, and he must be at or near the top all-time scorers for UND. The other thing - and where Kariya comes in - is how he participated in the Canadian National team and participated in the Olympics in '94 in Lillehammer - I always was pretty attached to those Olympics years when the teams weren't "best on best" and those Olympics with the collection of guys with some prospects, some overlooked guys, some journeymen committed to Canada's national team - that was probably the last year I really got into the Olympics. Johnson played a huge role in the gold medal game - he was a shooter in the final and Forsberg's team beat them. But it was definitely one of the most epic Olympics for me personally, right at my peak of really being "all-in" to all kinds of hockey at all levels.Who was it that Johnson convinced to come here? Was it Kariya?
Just woke up to read this. ShockingRuled a Suicide apparently
Another victim of CTE it looks like. A damn shame.

Its possible but to say it "looks like it" is irresponsible.No validity to this statement at all.
I have been There in my life before it’s a rough thing to lose that much hope. When it seems like everyone is against you and there is no one to support you, depression becomes something you can’t control. Add in alcohol and it becomes too much. Fortunately for me I don’t own a gun so the “easy” path was not available. I tried to drink myself to death and passed out and woke a few hours later. I have also tried to hang myself before being stopped. Having my wife and daughter around now is keeping my happy and I avoid the rough times. They used to leave for 2 months during the summer and stay with my in-laws in Florida (my in-laws have moved back to TN now) I was alone and depressed, so They no longer leave for a long periods like that now. Everytime I hear the word Suicide I cringe and it takes me back. I used to spend an unhealthy amount of time on here because I was lonely and I helped me to interact with people. I know I got blocked by some on here for being a jerk but I was intoxicated and/or depressed at that time.That's awful.
Please, please, if you are suffering from anything or feel like you need help, don't be afraid or embarrassed to ask.

Thanks, it is all good now. I am happy to know everyone on here, it keeps me busy and going.we enjoy your company friend
Fact is with Suicide you never know what someone is going through in their mind and why they make that choice. For Johnson it was probably a quick thing, something happened and he made a choice that he would not have made 5 minutes later. Always seek help when you get to that point because when you relax and back down from your decision, you realize how close you came to ending your life and ruining your loved ones also.
