Following their crushing loss, Jets coach Scott Arniel delivered an epic, emotionally charged message to Pete DeBoer, telling him to go get the Cup. <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/news/mason-marchment-reveals-emotional-words-he-shared-with-mark-scheifele-in-handshake-lineup-after-tragedy' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>The handshake line after a Stanley Cup Playoff series</a> is one of the greatest hockey traditions, a moment when bitter enemies lay aside their wars to show respect. On Saturday night, after a heartbreaking 2-1 overtime loss to the Dallas Stars, the Winnipeg Jets lined up with broken hearts but their heads held high. More than it was over for the season, it was just the beginning of mourning. <h3>As fate would have it, Scheifele scored the first goal of the game, but the Jets lost</h3> Jets forward Mark Scheifele, the longest-tenured player in team history, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/winnipeg-jets/mark-scheifele-game-6-status-officially-revealed-after-the-passing-of-his-father' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>suited up for Game 6 just hours after learning his father, Brad, had passed away</a> in Ontario earlier that day. Even in unthinkable grief, Scheifele played, and played with purpose. <div align='center' class='pl20 pr20'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/DLLS_Stars/status/1924600958094336313'><div style='border:1px solid #CCCCCC;border-radius:10px;padding:20px;width:300px;'>Loading from Twitter ...</div></a></blockquote></div> Pre-game, head coach Scott Arniel told everyone in the dressing room they were playing for one reason: to win the game for Scheifele and take it back home for a Game 7. There was genuine emotion in the post-game handshake line. Stars forward Mason Marchment, who had been a physical pest to Winnipeg during the series, and collided with Scheifele in the game, was one of the last to hug him. You know, we battle out there, Marchment explained. I'm going to keep it between us (what was said) but I thought it was necessary to kind of share what I went through, and what helped me get over it. Well, not over, but get through it. I wish nothing but the best for him. Marchment has experienced this pain himself; he lost his father, former NHL player Bryan Marchment, in 2022. And in a moving display of sportsmanship and regard for each other, Arniel bent toward Stars head coach Pete DeBoer and told him to do him a favor and go get the Stanley Cup. Do me a favour and go get the f*cking cup. - Scott Arniel <img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/561888.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /> In that brief, uncut moment, we witnessed it all: pain, pride, respect, and the indomitable will of the game.
