Tim Maher didn’t want to fail his teenage son’s wish to witness the epic game and bought tickets for the whole Maher household. ‘The one gift I want is I want to go back to Boston for the Classic”, the father revealed. Thus, while the family waited at the airport as their flights kept getting delayed, Tim decided to take on his quite unusual backup plan.
“I said, ‘It’s not happening. Like, nothing’s happening”, Tim said implying on their wait for the flights to resume. Hence, falling back on Plan B, the family instantly went back home, packed, got some rest, rented a car and set about their long drive to the capital of Massachusetts.
However, the game is definitely worth it. The Bruins hold the best scores in the league while the Penguins have won major numbers of matches and have set foot in the finals. Additionally, this is the second time the classic is being held at the famous park.
Well, the Maher family garnered impressive attention with their passion for the game. They were interviewed by major news channels. Moreover, their story was covered by a range of mainstream sites as well. The kids are in for a fun ride, given Maher’s exceptional zeal for keeping promises. Way to go, daddy cool!
