Matthew Tkachuk comes forward about his difficult mindset after the passing of close friend Johnny Gaudreau

Matthew Tkachuk was one of the closest friends of the late Johnny Gaudreau on the ice, and now he's opened up on what a tough time he's gone through.

This off-season has been hard for everyone in the NHL with the passing of Johnny Hockey, but for those that knew him and played alongside him throughout his stellar career in the NHL, it's hit even harder. In a recent interview, Florida Panthers star Matthew Tkachuk opened up on what it has been like without his friend, and it's safe to say that he has struggled just like everyone else that ever teamed up with No. 13.

Tkachuk would go on to note that he's grateful for where he is, as he is a Stanley Cup Champion and a professional hockey player on the highest level, but even people in that position have struggled with the loss of a close friend.

Gaudreau was one of the most beloved players in the entire NHL, with tributes flowing from everywhere in the hockey world, but most notably from the cities of Calgary and Columbus, who both got to witness the incredible player and person Gaudreau was. It's going to be hard for quite some time for Tkachuk and everyone in the NHL to get past this situation, but with the support of everyone in the NHL family, Gaudreau will be honoured and those players will be supported in the way that they should be.
