Flames’ Johnny Gaudreau freaks out hockey Twitter, but the man just ‘had to pee’

Congrats, Johnny Gaudreau! You freaked out the whole hockey world.

Within a matter of minutes, social media went from– oh my God! the Flames traded Gaudreau! To oh, um, yea, no, never ever mind.

Here’s a fast timeline of just what took place on Monday in what is now being called: #peegate.

1: 21 p.m. ET

Tweets start flying from the Flames media in participation at practice in Boston when Gaudreau leaves practice early– approximately 99 minutes (yep, 99 minutes) from the trade due date.

1: 28 p.m. ET

While everybody held their cumulative breath to see where the Flames winger was going– Colorado? New York City Islanders? Toronto?– the reports were stopped within a couple of minutes.

So just what took place? Why did the veteran Flames star leave practice early?

According to Postmedia’s Wes Gilbertson, it was quite easy:

“I didn’t think it was going to be that big of a deal,” Gaudreau informed press reporters with a smile, keeping in mind practice was practically done and head coach Geoff Ward stated he might go, leading to his phone exploding.

“Next time I will hold it in as long as I can, until practice is over.”
