Scheifele's Dad has Passed Away

[SI90]

This is horrible. Thoughts are with Scheiffle. Can’t imagine what he’s going through right now

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Condolences

 

[LightningStorm]

Horrible. Condolences to the entire Scheifele family.

 

[Satan]

That’s brutal RIP

 

[JianYang]

Sad.
When My father passed away from cancer and I definitely didn’t want to work that day I found out
I think it’s understandable if Schief doesn’t play tonite

Does anyone remember if martin st louis took a game off when his mother died during the playoffs?

Very sad news, goes beyond sports. Many of us have lost parents, terrible news, very sad for Mark and his family. RIP

 

[Unfriendly Ghost]

Oh no. That's so awful by itself, and then to have a big game like this.

 

[COHawk]

Major props to Scott Arniel for supporting Scheiffle and being there with him in person. That's some top notch leadership. Some things are bigger than the game.

Brendan Gallaghers mom passed away from cancer this season while Montreal was on their western Canadian road trip. Gallagher stayed with the team and kept playing, then when they were in Vancouver (his hometown) a few days later, the whole team went to visit his family. Gally then had a huge emotional 3 point night in their first game back in Montreal.

I wouldn't be surprised if scheifele plays tonight as a way to honour his dad and has a huge game.

I remember when that happened. I had to search to be sure, but he did play the next day. This might be too sudden for Schiefele and so it's all about how he feels about it

 

[TheBeard]

That's rough, and to be on the road when it happened.

 

[HFpapi]

****.

Horrible news. Feel awful for him and his family.

Brutal. Losing my Dad is still the hardest loss I've ever felt. It's a very difficult day for him and the entire Scheifele family.

 

[StumpyTown]

It totally sucks. Family and real life are far more important than hockey. If he feels he needs to leave the team to be with family at this time, I'd be 100% behind him. If it means no win tonight or in the series, then so be it. All the best the Scheifele family.

Cheveldayoff said he was battling cancer.

Where did you hear/see that? I haven’t heard myself.

Tough news. I'm sure Scheifele has a lot of support, but he should absolutely take all the time he needs. Some things matter more than hockey or career.

My dad died when I was 36. I couldn’t imagine losing him any earlier.

There’s two type of people. Those that work through everything and those who need time off to process. I learned I am in the need time off to process camp because I couldn’t work for months afterwards. I didn’t read the rest of the messages before posting but anyone who’s thinking of criticizing him for missing games needs to pause and rethink life.

It sucks all around. I hope he takes all the time he needs and find his peace.

It's different for everyone. For some, playing the game might be the easy part in all this.

But it should be left up to him what he wants to to, and I'm sure he won't be pressured by anyone in the organization

 

[Summer Rose]

Tragic. Just tragic. Rest in peace, Brad.

Yup. Literally said as much. You never what you type you until it happens. This is major grief.

 

[TheKrebsCycle]

Brutal news damn . I wouldn’t be playing but he’s a pro hockey player , some are built different. Obviously no judgment either way

 

[shaner8989]

Hope he plays and scores the gwg

RIP

Condolences Mark and family. Cheering for my Stars but I’m sure both teams would love to see you on the ice tonight.

 

[Conspiracy Theorist]

It sucks. Moments like this makes you think there are more important things in life than hockey.

 

[wraithsonwings]

Absolutely brutal. Condolences to his family and friends.
