Fans of the Columbus Blue Jackets are furious over recent comments made by NHL insider Frank Seravalli about their team & Johnny Gaudreau.
In hockey nothing is ever certain & each season brings many surprises. This unpredictability was clear when Seravalli made his annual 32 fearless predictions for this season. While discussing how he expected each team to perform his comments about the Blue Jackets didn't sit well with fans.
Seravalli is now facing major backlash for these disrespectful remarks about Johnny Gaudreau, especially in light of his tragic death. Fans were quick to voice their outrage online, criticizing Seravalli for his tasteless comments.
Frank Seravalli quickly made some changes to his choice of words.
13. After a proper period of mourning, the Lady Byng Trophy will be renamed in memory of Johnny (and Matthew) Gaudreau. Lady Byng had a great 100-year run. John won the Byng in 2017 and was a true gentleman of the game. It would also be appropriate for on-ice officials to vote on the award.
14. With a little help from above, the Columbus Blue Jackets will win the 2025 Draft Lottery. It's the only consolation prize on a brutal year, but hope and help is on the way. Bananas that the Blue Jackets have never won the Lottery.
Even after changing his comments many fans still found them inappropriate. It remains unclear if Seravalli will issue an apology but he's already lost followers on social media & it's uncertain if this incident will affect his job.
