Gaudreau played 8 season's for the Flames who drafted him back in 2011, 104th overall. Tonight Gaudreau returned to Calgary as the enemy. The Flames Organization would give Gaudreau a special montage before the game but that's all he would get, and it was mixed with boo's.
Like Milan Lucic said before the game it will be like before they were teammates, keep your head up. The Flames fans felt the same way and they wanted to remind Gaudreau he made the wrong decision with this savage sign. With the Blue Jackets competing with the Chicago Blackhawks and Anaheim Ducks for last place in the NHL.
Gaudreau said before the game he had a feeling he was going to be booed and he was correct. As soon as Gaudreau touched the puck the boos came hard for Johnny Hockey.
Gaudreau's luck didn't improve, as he was handed a penalty shot vs his former team and missed the net completely to the enjoyment of the fans in the Saddledome.
