Scheifele's Dad has Passed Away

[fahad203]

I never cheered harder for a Winnipeg goal

Hickey players are built different

All the best to Mark and his family..different roads ahead

Do the stars players know that Marks dad passed?

 

[Benneguin]

I feel for Scheifele. I've lost both my parents way too early.

Do the stars players know that Marks dad passed?

Yes, that was more than evident during the handshake line..

 

[Hotsam Batcho]

Do the stars players know that Marks dad passed?

No. They just decided to give him extra hugs during the hand shake because they felt bad they won on his penalty.

Do the stars players know that Marks dad passed?

Obviously.

Seguin and Scheifele have a long running RPS battle since both always need to be the last on the ice during warmups.

Tonight Seguin let Scheif have the honour.

Totally forgot about that little back and forth. Good to hear Seguin let Scheif have that one.

Condolences to Scheifele's family.

Condolences to Scheifele & his family.

You can tell that Winnipeg team really loves each other, they are a real team.

From the coach on down to the players they all felt it, they were all together behind him. I have so much respect for the Jets as a whole.

God bless to Mark & the Scheifele family.

That handshake line was hard to watch.

 

[D0ctorCool]

Seeing him in the penalty box for the series clinching goal was intense.

Dallas no strangers to series clinching OT winners on the powerplay.

Just ask Zach Whitecloud.

Really felt for Scheif in that moment too, only penalty called all game and it's one he pretty much had to take.

 

[Sniper99]

felt sick when the o.t. goal went in. Mad respect to Lowry to goto the penalty box after and help Scheifele.

Been lucky to not lose a parent yet, though my mother had a stroke back in November so thats a wake up call. Have lost a grandparent so that was tough.

 

[Panthers Propaganda]

Man, you really only get one dad.

 

[albator71]

I lost my dad 24 years ago still think about him every day. My heart goes out to the Scheifele family, I'm sure Mark wanted to play for his dad that's why he's the captain of the Jets. To all of you who still have their dad go hug them. Hugs!

 

[rynryn]

Man, such a genuine display of sympathy by Dallas at the end for a guy who was suffering.
Scheifele just had one of the hardest days he will ever have and they muted their joy out of respect.

Terrible news. Class all around last night from the Stars and obviosuly Scheifeles teammates. Tough night and he carried himself so well.

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.

I'm sorry for your loss. You're exactly right. Not everyone copes the same way. Ultimately, if he feels he needs to step away, nobody should ever knock that.
