"It's pretty cool. It's pretty emotional," the Edmonton Oilers forward told Sportsnet's Gene Principe as he watched the replay of his son delighting in his father's big moment. "It's pretty cool (and) I don't get to see him as much, but it's pretty special."

Maroon was clearly overwhelmed as the interview concluded, barely mustering an "absolutely" to end the segment.

The Oilers defeated the Blues in overtime, but the Maroon family proved Monday that sports are often about more than just names and numbers.
