My heart goes out to her.

You guys gotta stop losin'.

Get the power play together.

Yeah, we're working on it.

He tell me. "I love her."

Maybe Braden's a f*ggot.

I mean, I'd see more of you.

I was gonna come down the other night

and ask you to the Aces,

but, I don't know, something came up.

What? You need dough?

- Save your money. You're gonna need it.

- Who, me?

When they close the mill,

the Chiefs'll fold.

- That's bullshit.

- These people are gonna be broke.

They're not gonna be going to hockey

games. You're not getting any younger.

- I got nothing to worry about. I coach.

- You're no good at it.

Every player on that team

thinks I'm the greatest.

- What?

- You're a losing coach.

You can't make 'em win.

I was thinking about you the other day,

tryin' to imagine you

when you're through with hockey,

and I couldn't.

There was nobody there.

- What are you gonna do?

- I'm gonna come back to you.

Too little, too late.
