"Heartbreaking and inspiring. Playing through that kind of pain shows incredible strength. What a beautiful way to honor his dad scoring that goal must’ve meant everything. Sending love to Mark and his family."

One of the most heartbreaking scenes I have witnessed in sports when Dallas scored overtime winner with Scheifele in the penalty box. Awesome , gutsy performance by S and a gut wrenching end.

No, nothing better than a player playing for his dad and scoring a goal in one of the biggest games of his career?

Tough OT loss for Scheifele and the Jets, both teams played their guts out. RIP Mark's dad.

Mark left everything out there on the ice. His performance was stellar in what must have been a truly emotional day.

So sorry they couldn’t win this game. And sorry that the winning goal was scored when he was in the penalty box. He played with heart! The whole team did. The goaltending on both sides was next level!

Hockey relies as much on emotion as it does on skill. True or a myth?

Sorry for your loss Mark; Happy for your win for your Dad Mark!!!!

what this says to me is how much Mark's dad loved him and how he supported, recognized, rooted for & treasured his son's talents and success. an amazing gift dad to son and then from a son honoring his dad when you lose a parent who loved you, there's often a special way that you say goodbye to them

and how hearbreaking that it was his penalty, the only one of the game, that cost them the series. poor guy, thats just insult to injury. gutsy performance, his dad would be proud.

I got a lump in my throat when I saw his reaction. Just a crushing day for him in every way.

It was one of the best games of the playoffs, the refs called no penalties until that potential breakaway. It was a tough night for him, the hockey gods gave him a goal and a penalty. Beautiful and gut wrenching. RIP MR S

There are moments in sport that have nothing to do with the scoreboard. This is one of them.
