No, they're exactly the same

they've been for the past year.

Sometimes, people just...

just need some freedom.

Freedom from what?

Not from you.

That's not what I'm saying.

Honey, I love you. I am always going

to be a part of your life. Always.

You're not even coming in, are you?

You're just going to leave it on me to tell him.

He knows.

Believe me, he knows.

Go. I'm happy you're leaving.

Dad?

"Lidstrom on Casey Demas.

Lidstrom for the weak side. He shoots...

"Oh, great stick save by Demas!

And he covers up."

- Pretty far from the real story.

- Yeah, well, next time. Yeah.

Who was it that said,

"Goaltending is like being shot at"?

- Jacques Plante.

- That's right.

Just 'cause you're the goaltender

doesn't mean you're the only one on defense.

How many shots on goal tonight?

30, 35.

35. Nobody's good enough

to stop everything.

You guys got to get back. Keep them

from getting all those open shots on goal.

I got to get this...

All this work done or I'm going

to have hell to pay tomorrow.

I can help.

No. I want you to go inside,

take it easy.

Go ahead. Watch T.V.

You had a rough day.

Mom's gone.

Yeah.

She's just clearing her head.

You...

Still up for going to Belleville?

Check out the ice dogs?

You still want to?

I do if you do.

Is she coming back?

I don't always know

what your mom is thinking.

Okay. What are we going to do about it?

What's the plan?

I don't know yet.

You guys fight all the time.

What happened?

I don't know.

- How are you going to fix it...

- Case! I'm not the one who quit on us.

No.

You pretty much quit on everything else.

Hi, Casey.

One, two, three, stop!

Hey, guys.

So, you ask her if she wants

to ride your zamboni yet?

- Nice.

- She's new here, isn't she?

Yeah, her old man works

with my dad in the warehouse now.

She transferred, like, last month

or something. I don't know.

So, you get her phone number?

I hate to break it to you, bud,

but she's got peanut butter legs.

- What?

- Easy to spread.

- Oh, come on, man!

- What?

Aren't you supposed to be eating

broccoli and egg whites?

You've got that septic tank heart thing.

- They call it...

- Ventricular septal defect.

And I got arteries

like a garden hose, okay?

You're a garden hose.

Check out my M.R.I.'s

- Seriously?

- Here, here.

- See?

- Oh, he actually has it.

Yeah, this one shows the hole

between the chambers in the heart.

You're so weird. Why do you have that?

Rudy, you know all this, dude. He's only

told us about a thousand times before.

Do you know what happens

if the hole doesn't heal itself?

Sudden death!

- It's not as funny as you guys think.

- Man, you get that during the game?
