The Tragedy of Hockey Star Johnny Gaudreau. The Boston College and NHL communities are mourning the tragic death of hockey star Johnny Gaudreau and his brother, also a former BC hockey player, Matthew Gaudreau. The two brothers died Thursday while bicycling in New Jersey, when they were struck by a vehicle driven by an alleged drunk driver. Johnny was a superstar hockey player who led the Eagles to the Frozen Four in his junior season and was named the 2014 Hobey Baker Award Winner. Gaudreau went on to play in the NHL as a high scoring forward. Tonight, we speak about this tragedy and the appropriate punishment for the alleged drunk driver.

Ssh! No Firecrackers in the Library! Somerville’s Central Library has been forced to close its doors for two hours every weekday after a recent history of continued unruly behavior by rowdy teenagers. Somerville City Councilor Kristen Strezo said this decision came after a year in which library staff complained about rampant misbehavior including reports of teens lighting firecrackers, getting into fights, and disturbing fellow peers. Councilor Strezo joins Dan this evening to discuss the closure.

20th Hour. For the last couple of months now, Dan has been conducting a snap poll in the 20th Hour on the last Friday of every month, asking NightSide listeners who they would vote for President at this moment in time.

For whom would you vote?
