Some moments are just bigger than sports.
One such moment occurred on Saturday night during Game 6 of a second round Stanley Cup playoffs series between the Winnipeg Jets and Dallas Stars. Jets center Mark Scheifele was playing with a heavy heart, as his father had unexpectedly passed away on Friday night, initially leaving his status for the game in doubt. But Scheifele was determined to play in his late father's honor and in an emotional moment, the Jets center scored the first goal of the game in the second period.
