"THE CANADIENS, FOREVER" "I always wondered why the Canadiens inspired such passion, why Howie Morenz, Maurice Richard," "Jean Béliveau and Guy Lafleur were worshipped, hailed as heroes in their city, their country." "There are as many explanations as there are fans." "My favourite:" "Rivalry." "The Canadiens were founded in 1909 at Montreal's Windsor Hotel." "To stoke rivalry," "Ambrose O'Brien and James Gardner of the NHA created a team of mostly French-Canadian players, the other teams being anglophone." "The team, known as The Flying Frenchmen, included Jack Laviolette, Didier Pitre, Newsy Lalonde." "They outskated the refs, who couldn't even pronounce their names." "In 1916, the entire province cheered on Georges Vézina, the Canadiens' goalkeeper and first real star, who helped the team win its first Stanley Cup." "The arrival of Aurèle Joliat led to a second Cup in 1924." "Joliat played with the Canadiens for 16 seasons..." "We're already in 1924." "It's going too fast." "Keep watching." "At the first game in the Forum on November 29, 1924, the walls literally shook with a thunderous ovation." "9,000 fans applauded wildly as Howie Morenz first stepped on the ice of the new temple of hockey." "And Vézina?" "There's no time." "Isn't there more material?" "Photos we can animate?" "Doesn't your son have a game?" "It's OK, Michelle's there." "Go, William!" "Go, big boy!" "Skate!" "Go, William!" "Get in position!" "That's it, go for it!" "Pass!" "Pass!" "What's with you?" "You're on a team." "Is that Jean Béliveau?" "He often comes." "Really?" "To encourage them." "Nice one!" "The new kid's your son?" "Yeah, he was born with skates on." "Makes for a rough delivery!" "He's real good." "Perfect, keep it up!" "Beaulieu, off the ice!" "C'mon, Arnaud, let's go!" "Pass!" "Pass!" "I'm beat." "I can barely focus." "That's fine." "See you tomorrow." "Morenz was a big draw for fans." "For over a decade, he filled the Forum." "His premature death after a hockey accident was tragic." "Over 50,000 people turned out for his funeral." "OK, I'm coming." "William?" "The hospital called." "Dad's coming." "Way to go, keep it up!" "His creatinine is very high." "His electrolytes too." "He's just back from the OR." " His parents here?" " Yes." "They drove from Val d'Or." "They followed the ambulance." "I'll see them." "Hi!" "Sorry, it's a madhouse." "That's OK." "Daniel." "In from Val d'Or." "He had dialysis before leaving." "His first." "He was greyish." "We sent him for hemodialysis." " Is he done?" " No." "His parents?" "Dr. Hébert waited for you." "I'll go change." "OK, perfect." "The blood tests aren't good." "Your son is suffering from acute kidney failure." "No way." "He played hockey three weeks ago." "It can come suddenly." "He was run down last summer, but... he perked up recently." "He has pyelonephritis." "What's that?" "It's often the result of a urinary infection that wasn't detected and went untreated." "It's an inflammation of the kidneys." "To be quite honest, your boy is very ill." "His kidneys have stopped working." "We'll have some big decisions to make." "For a transplant we'll need your consent." "First we'll see if a family member's compatible." "You can lead a healthy life with just one kidney." "We know that you, Madame, have the wrong blood type." "But maybe your husband..." "I'll care for him like he was my own son." "We'll cure your boy." "You'll see." "Don't make empty promises!" "We can't guarantee we'll cure him." "Never say that!" "Clear the zone!" "Clear the zone!" "Line change!" "Go, William!" "Bravo!" "Where were you?" "You're too fast." "I can't keep up." "The second goal for Collège Français, scored unassisted by number 8, William..." "That goalie's a loser!" "Your tests are at 7:00 a.m." "On an empty stomach." "Then you can go." "My baby?" "I love you." "You have to fight." "You can do it." "He'll be OK." "Tell him we love him." "Thanks." " Hello, sir." " Hi." "Well, we did win..." "Two unassisted goals..." "Not the plan." "William!" "I'm talking to you!" "It's not a one-man show!" "Play as a team or don't play." "I prefer to lose." "Let's do better next time." "Practice tomorrow at 9:00." "You'll be OK, Daniel." "We're in this with you." "Hi." "You OK?" "What's the new boy's name?" "Daniel." "Go to sleep." "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" "Waiting for my dad." "I mean, on the ice." "What's with you?" "This isn't street hockey!" "Hey, Beaulieu!" "We're waiting for you!" "Wake up, man!" "Nice second goal." "Thanks." "Howie Morenz wasn't the only star to die tragically." "Georges Vézina, at the height of his career, also left his fans in mourning." "On November 28, 1925, playing against the Pittsburgh Pirates he collapsed in the Mont-Royal Arena dressing room." "His family and teammates were shocked to learn he had TB." "He was buried four months later." "Vézina founded a dynasty of Canadiens goalies." "Next in line was George Hainsworth." "22 shutouts in one season." "An unmatched record." "Bill Durnan, goalie and team captain." "Two Stanley Cups." "Jacques Plante," "Gump Worsley," "Ken Dryden, and of course, Patrick Roy." "For me, the best goalie is Luongo." "An Italian." "Roberto!" "Sure, Roberto!" "Everybody knows Italy is a hockey superpower!" "Look, name three great Italian hockey players." "Esposito." "Luongo." "And..." "Carbonneau!" "Carbono!" "Sure, that's Italian!" "Best goal is Carey Price." "Goal?" "Where'd you learn English?" "It's not "goal"." "It's "goaler"." "Anyway, what counts most is their average." "Know what Price's average is?" "His is above average!" "Buona sera, dottore!" " Evening, Doc." " Hello." "Doc, what's Carey Price's average?" " 2.49." " Now that's an average!" " Good night." " Good night, Doctor." "This is Benoît Couture, leave me a..." "William?" "I went to pick you up." "I was late." "It was my first game with them." "I scored twice." "William, I'm sorry." "He's always pissed off." "It was an important game, my love." "You weren't there." "He needs his father." "What can I do?" "I work." "I'll see him." "It's a big change for him." "For us, too." "Hello?" "Can we talk?" "He's overdoing it." " You kill the robots." " There's one!" "Hi, Daniel." "Hi, Gabriel." "Things OK?" "I'm Michelle." "I'll be looking after you." " Hi." " She's real nice!" "Your mom brought this photo." "I saw." "We were at the lake." "It's pretty." "We'll be giving you some tests." "It's no fun, but it's quick." " But..." " What?" "There's a hockey game tonight." "At home, with my dad, I never miss a game." "Could I..." "We'll see." "But you just arrived." "You're pretty sick." "It's better if..." "Did you call for a taxi?" "Yup." "Hi, I'm Hélène." "Shall we go?" "What are you doing here?" "You wanted to talk?" "Yes, at home." "But now..." "Daniel, my son William." "His file's outside." "I need some money." "That's the only time you'll talk." "I need to buy a program for school." "What?" "You gonna give it to me?" "I told you to ask your dad." "Hold on!" "What I wanted to say before is you're being a major pain." "You don't lift a finger at home." "You haven't unpacked since we moved in." "Get over it!" "Quit sulking!" "You finished?" "Don't you play for Collège Brébeuf?" "Yes." "Well, I did last year." "Now I'm with Collège Français." "The Cobras are league champs." " You follow them?" " A little." "Cool." "Well, see you..." "What's this?" "Dr. Hébert." "Guess we should get going." "See you, Daniel!" "I just hit paydirt." "We've got tons of footage." "Take a look." "You'll love it." "OK, I just got it." "The '30s were hockey's leanest years." "Fans couldn't afford tickets." "The Forum was empty." "With the war, things improved." "But Maurice Richard got the game back on its feet." "Hockey was my entire life, really." "All I thought about was hockey." "He was my dad's favourite." "He wasn't afraid of anything." "He played to win." "That's why we loved the Rocket." "When he won, we won." "We were the best." "With him, everything was possible." "But this passion got carried away." "In 1955, when Richard was unfairly suspended, Quebec erupted." "The Quiet Revolution had begun." "There's never been another athlete before or since... who was so deeply ingrained... with a desire to win." "For him, sport was a means of expression, of asserting himself, like a painter or poet." "Scoring goals was his entire reason for living." "Wasn't he great?" "Tell me about it!" "Hello?" "I've never seen an athlete... so involved, so passionate about his job." "I told you there'd be some!" "And the team curfew?" "Forget the curfew!" "C'mon, we're here!" " Enjoy the game!" " Thanks." "The ambassador of ambassadors..." "He won the Stanley Cup 10 times with the Canadiens, including seven as captain." "Jean Béliveau!" "The starting lineup, between the Canadiens and the Leafs..." "Look what I've got." "Number 79, Andrei Markov." "Jaroslav Halàk." "They look like ants from up here." "Kovalev!" "Go, Kovy, go!" "Starts like this." "They don't make the playoffs!" "I have an idea." "What?" " C'mon!" " What now?" "Go Habs go!" "An exciting game so far..." "Go Habs go!" "Markov gets the puck." "Guys, you have to go to your seats." "That's it!" "Yvan Cournoyer assisted by number25, Lemaire assisted by number 19, Larry Robinson." "Guys, I gotta bring out the Zamboni." "OK, sure." "Can you believe these seats?" "The puck is cleared from the Leaf's zone." "Go Koivu!" "Look, I'm gonna head home." "You are?" "You know, the curfew?" "OK, that's cool." "Ciao!" "Saku!" "Go for it!" "Go, Saku!" "Dan?" "Daniel?" "75/40." "Get him to dialysis, fast!" "They're coming." "Why didn't he get a fistula?" "The ORs have an emergency." "This is an emergency!" "Antoine?" "Is this yours, Dr. Hébert?" " What the..." " He wanted to see the game." " Not a good idea." " Sorry." "The candies were my fault." "He'll be OK." "Antoine?" "Don't tell anyone, OK?" "Been going on long?" "None of your business." "Problem is, he's a tight-ass." "He only seems like one." "He isn't, really." "He's just afraid." "Getting close to the kids." "We're all afraid." "Yeah, but with him, he's frightened of any closeness." "He lost his wife four years ago." "He did his best to save her." "Hey, you lost?" "No, no." "If you're looking for a job..." "No, no." "I'm just looking." "I like hockey." "Do you play?" "Yeah." "You any good?" "I'm OK." "I used to play for Brébeuf." "That was good." "But then we moved." "I changed teams." "The new gang's making life hard?" "It can take a while before things click." "Yeah." "Sorry to trouble you." "No trouble at all." "Have you talked to your coach?" "Did you talk to your dad?" "I don't have a dad." "Look," "I don't have time now." "But if you need anything, call me." "Tomorrow or Friday, 'cause Saturday there's a game." "Feeling OK?" "The Canadiens won, 3-1 ." "Sometimes when I watch with my dad," "I fall asleep before it's over." "He lifts me up, tucks me into bed and says:" ""We won!"" "I have to call your dad tomorrow." "You can talk to him." "To Mom too?" "I'll come by again later." "Go, go!" "Skate!" "Get to bed too late and you can't skate." "What do you mean?" "The curfew!" "What is this?" "I hear it was a great game at the Bell Centre!" "Is that true?" "OK, everybody, let's take a lap." "I have a few changes." "Next game, Denis plays centre with Dominique and Ben as wings." "Landriau, Rachid and Loic, second line." "William, Chassé and Robert, third." "We'll try that a few games." "Take a lap!" "Hi." "There's no more..." "What's wrong?" "Your coach called." "Yeah, so?" "We have a problem." "I hear you went to the Bell Centre." "How'd you pay?" "You stay here!" "In the juniors I'd get paid." "We discussed that." "You can keep playing, but you stay in school." "I won't go to McGill just 'cause you did." "William!" "Just look at you!" "OK, calm down!" "I hate it here!" "I didn't want to move." "I lost my pals, my team, my girl!" "You dated her two weeks." "Get over it!" "And you have a team." "Nothing I do is right for them." "If you were a team player..." "What do you know?" "You never played hockey!" "You shape up or your hockey days are over!" "Oh yeah?" "He sure presses my buttons." "He was dropped to the third line." "That'll shake him up." "He has to realize it's not all about me, me, me!" "Talk to your son." "My son?" "So he's my son now?" "You were his age once." "It'll pass." "What I miss the most is playing in the snow with Mathieu." "Yeah, Mathieu misses you too." "Do you know when they're going to find me a kidney?" " Lemme talk to him!" " Wait, I can't hear." " Pipe down!" " What did you say?" "If you hear anything, you'll tell me, right?" "Of course." "For sure!" "We'll tell you as soon as we hear." "I'm sure it'll all be fine." "Sure, bunny." "Of course it'll be fine!" "For Christmas, I want a kidney." "Dad and I already ordered it." "OK, well..." "Will you call me?" "Yes." "I love you, son." "I love you too, Mom." "Bye." "He wants a kidney for Christmas." "They'll operate on you before Christmas." "Think so?" "Sure, it worked out for me." "They found one." "In that case," "I'm sure it'll work." "Come on, let's take a short break." "I didn't tell the truth." "I do have a father." "It's just, he's never there." "It's like I don't have one." "It's not quite the same thing." "You came here to tell me that?" "No, not just that." "You know, I said I play hockey and..." "That's not true either?" "No, it's true." "I play for Collège Français." "It's just that..." "It's not working out." "And you want to quit?" "It's not that." "Look up there." "Look, Morenz..." "Dickie Moore." "Plante." "Geoffrion." "They're all there, the best players." "Look, Guy Lafleur." "I loved that guy, the Flower!" "A killer team up there." "Look, both Richards." "Béliveau." "Cournoyer." "Gainey." "If you ask me," "I bet there were times they wanted to quit too." "I mean, I'm not saying everybody agreed with Dick Irvin, Toe Blake" "and even less with Scotty Bowman." "But it takes a coach." "There can only be one." "And, he's always right." "You got bumped to the third line?" "If you don't like it, stop playing." "But if you ask me," "I'd say you owe an apology to somebody." "Who?" "Your coach." "Your dad." "I dunno..." "You should try." "Try it." "Go see 'em and say exactly that:" "I'm sorry." "I guarantee you'll play better." "You can't just give up." "I'm not giving up." "It's only a rough patch." "Do you have brothers and sisters?" "Can't be easy to play on a team." "C'mon, kid." "Guy Lafleur?" "He had team spirit." "And for him the only team was the Canadiens." "That was back in the '70s." "There was a whole gang of them, Robinson, Cournoyer," "Savard, Lemaire..." "But the Démon blond -- that's what they called him-- was the best." "As soon as he joined the club, he was a big star." "And a helluva nice guy, too." "The team pulled together and started to win." "Now that was hockey, my boy." "These are yours." "We'll trade." "Look." "Hi." "Whose are those?" "They're from your mom." "She lent them to us." " They're my dad's." " They're really old." "We never heard of them." "Lemme see." "Look, Boom Boom Geoffrion." "Boom Boom?" "He was a great player." "He invented the slap shot." "Crazy, huh?" "Nobody had thought of it." "The puck hit the board:" "Boom!" "Then the echo was so loud:" "Boom!" "Did you ever go to a real hockey game at the Bell Centre?" "Lucky!" "Do you think your mom knows when they'll find me a kidney?" "I dunno." "Nobody seems to know." "Why can't you get him one?" "They don't grow on trees." "His dad's not compatible." "But I didn't tell you that." "He'll be OK." "What do you need?" "I'm not here to see you." "He looks pretty good." "Cournoyer." "Seems to me Cournoyer was a good player too." "I'll trade him to you for" "Dickie Moore and Doug Harvey." "Larry Robinson." "Don't know him." "And Jacques Lemaire?" "Guy Lapointe?" "He looks funny with his moustache." "Ferguson." "He looks tough." "I think I like him, Henri Richard." "I hope you know Maurice Richard!" "Hi." "Very good." "We're going to insert a fistula." "It's a tiny operation." "It's like a little tap." "That way, when you go for dialysis, you won't get a needle." "It'll be way easier, you'll see." "Tomorrow you'll be up to your old tricks." "Maybe you know, doctor." "How many times did the Canadiens win the Stanley Cup?" "I say they never won it." "Or I don't remember." "You don't remember?" "I'm not surprised." "They won the Cup 24 times." "Whose are those?" "They're mine." "But they're only on loan." "I used to have that card." "You ready, Daniel?" "Wow, Gump Worsley!" "I loved him, Gilles Tremblay!" "It's empty, Dad." "Look in that one, you'll see." "Not that one, it's from the '70s." "Lafleur, Gainey, Savard." "I need them." "Look in the other one." "You've got so much of this stuff." "How long have you been a hockey nut?" "I love watching hockey as much as you love playing." "My favourite player was... him!" "Jean Béliveau." "You couldn't take your eyes off him." "It was like watching a great actor." "He's a great man, too." "The real greats aren't just great on the ice." "What are you getting at?" "Nothing." "Forget it." "I have an idea." "Take these to that kid." "DVDs of the Stanley Cup." "He'll enjoy them." "I want them back." " What do you say?" " Thank you!" "Yeah, thank you." "Béliveau at the net." "He shoots and scores!" "Do you want..." "Do you want a lift?" "No, that's OK." "Can you give this to Daniel?" "You'll get a nosebleed!" "Stubborn mule!" " Don't forget 'em!" " I won't." "Have a nice day!" "Have a nice day!" "Hi, Gabriel." " That's pretty." " Thanks." "The operation went fine." "At midnight, his blood pressure fell, but we stabilized it." "Daniel's real sick, huh?" "Don't worry, he'll be fine." "It looks scary, but the oxygen is just for today." "Your guy, Antoine, what does he say?" "Dr. Hébert?" "He's waiting to hear if one of his brothers is compatible." "Lucky shot." "Was that lucky?" "Move it!" "Relax!" "What's your problem, Beaulieu?" "Cut it out." "We're a team." "Hey, coach!" "C'mere!" "I know what happened." " You OK?" " They're a bunch of apes!" "Did you see it?" "The guy is crazy!" "Cross-checks are out." "I'll take care of him." "Go shower." "You've had enough for today." "Hi." "Michelle brought you this." "Feel like watching them?" "Must be more old-timers." "Yeah, it's from way back." "1993." "Look, the Rocket." "After the 1955 riots, the Canadiens won the Cup five years in a row." "The Captain, Maurice Richard, retired in 1960 to make room fora new generation." "Despite the changeover, the Habs continued to lead the League." "Montreal won the coveted Cup four times in the '60s, six times in the '70s, in 1986 and in 1993." "No other NHL team has won the Stanley Cup as often." "It is a record that won't soon be matched." "Hey, look!" "We won the Stanley Cup!" "Like them?" "What's that?" "Oxygen." "It's just for today." "That's what they told me." "But I don't have to stay in bed." "So what do we do?" "Skateboard!" "Skateboard?" "They put a tap in me." "Kids, come quick!" "I don't understand." "They put a what in you?" "That's Loulou and Denise." "They're twins." "They're exactly the same." "And he's Thomas." "Your whole family?" "Not all at once!" "He can't understand." "That's Mathieu." "He's shy, but he's no pushover." "These are my new friends," "Gab and William." "Hi, Gabriel!" "Hi, William!" "William's a great hockey player!" "Bédard, come here." "Beaulieu's gone for five." "Really?" "You needed one." "A brand new coat." "I might quit." "Come on, we need you!" "Look, that's how Beaulieu is." "Thinks he's boss." "He'll calm down." "He'd better!" "The coach nailed him." "Bye, Dom!" "William, want a lift?" "No, thanks." "I'm OK." "Nice going, keep it up." "Sure, you too!" ""Sure, you too"?" "You keep it up too, Mr. Béliveau!" "What a nice surprise!" "Glad to see you!" "I like your jacket." "This is so cool!" "It's work, but it's fun." "Got your skates?" "No, I wish I'd known." "That's OK, next time." "What can I do for you?" "You gave me your card." "I was wondering, there's this boy I know who's really sick." "He's crazy about hockey." "So I was wondering if you had anything I could give him as a present." "I've got some odds and ends, a few old pucks..." "C'mon, we'll have a look." "Detroit is playing the Canadiens." "It's 1-0 for Blake's boys." "Moore with the puck, centres it to Provost." "A weak shot by Provost at Sawchuk." "Sawchuk blocks it, passes to Howe, who can't corral it." "The shot blocked by Plante who comes out almost to the blue line." "Young has the puck, passes to Gadsby, on to MacDonald." "Another steal by Howe." "Tremblay, on his guard all period." "Tremblay to Provost, to Richard." "He looks around." "He's in the clear." "He shoots and scores!" "Old pucks?" "Sure!" "Sorry for the mess." "One of these days..." "It's all from the Canadiens?" "100% Habs!" "What would that sick kid like?" "Cards, maybe." "Cards?" "I only have a few left." "Old-timers." "Where'd I put 'em?" "Why the hats?" "After a hat trick." "You couldn't see the ice." "I'd clear 'em away." "It was all part of my job." "And the rubbers?" "When people were mad." "Neat, huh?" "This is one of Jacques Plante's first masks." "The real thing." "An early model." "One day, I swiped it." "He searched all over!" "I finally told him I'd taken it to play a trick on him." "I couldn't believe it." "Know what?" "He gave it to me!" "Well-made." "I mean, not much to it." "You know, forget about the cards, I'll take these." "The puck, but not the tuque." "My wife, Rolande, knitted it for me." "I don't know why, but I can't bring myself to give away her things." "No problem." "Look, I have a great sweater." "Jean Béliveau." "It's nice, but he's more into Koivu." "Wait." "Just a sec." "Here, Koivu." "Perfect." "Thank you!" "How's the hockey?" "I'm working hard." "It's not just about work." "It takes luck, too." "Me, in 1957 I worked like hell at the training camp." "Look." "You're with Béliveau?" "And Henri Richard." "But I wrecked my knee just before the season opener." "Never played again." "Things won't always work out like you want." "But you must never give up, that's all." "We knew Gabriel was going home." "He just left earlier than expected." "You'll be better off now." "He was a pest." "Anyway, you'll have visitors." "I spoke to your mom." "They're driving down." "When?" "Next week." "Sleep." "So you're ready if you're called to the OR." "William!" "Why didn't you wake me?" "I wanted to walk." "But it's cool that you're here." "I mean it." "I don't really know how to say it, but..." "I'm sorry." "For... everything." "I know sometimes" "That's OK." "Go on, show me what you can do." "We had a bumpy start, but it's working out." "The captain's a team player too." "We needed a good centre." "He came at the right time." "I've seen lots of players, but he's good." "Really good." "He's changing." "Sometimes we have to change too." "MERRY CHRISTMAS, SAKU!" "Good morning." "Hello." "Let me see." "You still need dialysis for now." "Takes a month to heal." "A month?" "Michelle said some Canadiens players are coming tomorrow." "Like every year." "Is Saku coming?" "Maybe." "They don't tell us before." "All right?" "This is great." "Saku has been sick too." "It's for him." "He'll love it." "What if I'm in dialysis and I miss Saku?" "Don't worry." "Leave it to me, OK?" "Hey there!" "Gabriel!" " Hi, Gab." " Hi." "I brought stuff!" "Hello!" "How's it going?" "Just fine." "Gabriel looks great!" " Much better." " He's a handful." "Better than being sick." "Yes, and we'd like to express our thanks." "Maybe a donation to the hospital." "Great!" "I brought you this." "So you can hear the games." "That's so cool!" "Saku Koivu is coming to visit." "I'm glad to see you." "Wasn't expecting you." "Get real!" "None of the family's compatible?" "And Mathieu?" "Didn't you say" "We just got the results." "Unfortunately, no." "But Daniel's very brave." "His morale's great." "He's on every list." "We'll find someone." "And for now?" "We continue treatment." "Just be patient." "He's well looked after." "We've adopted your son." "He's sure he'll beat it." "He's a fighter." "Take your cue from him." "We should tell him the truth." "It's his right to know." "Hey, big boy!" "Mom!" "Dad!" "What are you up to?" "Nothing." "Wow, presents!" "Yeah, Sainte-Justine Hospital at 2:00." "Koivu will be there." "And lots of other players." "I know, Max." "There was a last-minute change." "They were supposed to go at 9:00." "I'm filming Dick Irvin at 2:00." "Nothing fancy." "Shoot the visit, the players and kids." "Atmosphere." "I know you'll need an assistant." "I'll try to find you one." "I can go." "Hold on." "You can?" "I don't have classes then." "I can lug stuff." "Max?" "I have your man." "Wait a sec!" "Things good, Daniel?" "Will!" "What's up?" "I'm chasing after the Canadiens." "I'm waiting too." "They'll show up." "Hi there." "Hi, what's your name?" "Daniel." "Here you go." "Thank you!" "Saku?" "Yes." "Michelle?" "Want to hear what Koivu said?" "To who, Daniel?" "Our son has a better future as a centre than as a sound man." "Saku?" "Yes?" "Before I die, I'd like to see you play for real." "Never lose hope." "That's what he said?" ""Before I die."" "Poor little guy." "Look what I found." "I've seen all your hockey stuff." "No, look." "So handsome." "Things were simpler back then." "But you were never there." "You should learn to skate." "Not you too!" " It'd be a riot." " Forget it." "You're sure of that?" "He invited you to a Canadiens game?" " Hello." " Hi." "Did you hear?" "Koivu invited Daniel to a game." "No!" "Yes, December 30th." "Daniel loves to pull our legs." "No, it's true." "He really invited me." "His numbers are better." "He's stable." "Great news." "Keep his spirits up." "Could be a long wait." "See you, Daniel!" "What's this about a game at the Bell Centre?" "Are you making it up?" "Great check!" "Koivu finds Brisebois." "Montreal powerplay." "Brisebois at the point, up the boards to Koivu." "Koivu through the Bruins' end." "The Habs on the powerplay." "A chance to take the lead." "Koivu still with the puck." "He's checked hard." "Still in command." "Koivu still in possession." "Koivu with the puck." "Looking for Brisebois, spots him, makes the pass." "Brisebois to Dandenault." "Behind Thomas, to Lapierre." "He scores!" "Lapierre alone in front," "An amazing play by Koivu!" "Hey, guys!" "Which of you animals did this?" "You, Delisle?" "OK, guys!" "We'll practice our 5 on 5." "0 for 6 just doesn't cut it." "By the way, we voted on a new captain." "William!" "Christmas already." "Incredible!" "How's that boy?" "Still no donor, but we're hoping." "To think that my son was chosen team captain." "Sure!" "He's your son when he's captain, and my son when he screws up." "As long as it makes him happy." "It'll be good for him." "We'll put up lights only in front, right?" "I knew you'd say that." "No, I want the blue lights on the side!" "We have enough lights!" "I want my lights!" "Call me when they're up." "I'll see if I like them." "Thank you!" "Can we stop?" "What's wrong?" "I'll never get a kidney." "Why not?" "I see it in your eyes, and in your mom's eyes too." "My mom said it always works out." "They'll find you one for sure." "There's no match in my family." "There are seven of us!" "So what?" "I want to go back to my room." "Alone." "Daniel, it'll be fine." "Me?" "All I wanted was to go to a hockey game." "What now?" "Balloons!" "I don't know how!" " Stretch it." " And blow!" "Tell me how!" " Stretch..." " And blow!" "It'd be a family activity for once." "We do lots of stuff." "Besides unpacking." "Stop it!" "It's what he asked for." "You don't get it." "We haven't found a donor." "He may never leave the ward." "He will leave the ward!" " I'll take him to the game myself." " We can't." "He seems set on it." "So then, December 30." "What's December 30?" "Canadiens-Senators." "I'm filming at the Bell Centre that night." "I have three free tickets." "You two don't give up." "You said the weekend was good." "We'll talk about it later." "OK, I'll call back." "Thanks." "Dr. Hébert?" "Can I talk to you?" "About Daniel..." "You're ganging up!" "He's waiting for a kidney!" "Between treatments he's fine." "He's stable, right?" "Daniel's a fighter." "You said so yourself." "He has to stay positive." "As much as possible." "With appropriate supervision," "I think he can attend his hockey game." "That thing suits you." "Thanks." "Gives him colour." "Good evening." "Welcome to tonight's game between the Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadiens." "The referees tonight are..." "There you are!" "How's it going?" "Fine." "You?" "This is Gerry, the Zamboni king." "Daniel." "Hi, Daniel." "My mom, Michelle." " Hello." " Hi, Michelle." "I've heard about you." "I gotta go, it's starting." " Good night!" " G'night!" "I can't hear you!" "Are things OK?" "Yes." "Why'd you call?" "To hear the crowd." "Go on!" "We scored, listen!" "We scored!" "I have to go." "Put this on, you'll need it." "It's cold on the rink." "No problem, I've got it." "He'll be ready." "I'll call back in 10." "We have it!" "We do?" "He won't forget this game!" "Is he with you?" "Not exactly." "I have my eye on him." "Hurry, I'll be waiting." "We have to go." "Let's stay to the end." "We should've left already." "They found a kidney? Good evening and welcome to the Bell Centre" "Good evening and welcome to the Bell Centre for the sixth game of the Stanley Cup Finals" "featuring the Detroit Red Wings and your Montreal Canadiens!" "...tries to clear it to centre." "Koivu advancing it." "He shoots, and it's wide!" "What's that?" "I got something to show you." "It's not much, but..." "Hey, Rick..." "is it here?" "They brought it just in case." "I think you'll like it." "Will!" "He's here!" "Hi." "We were getting worried." " Gerry showed us the cup." " Lucky!" "Is Benoît here?" "Yeah, he's filming." "Enjoy your evening!" "I told you!" "Listen to what he's saying." "You'll understand." " Doctor!" " Evening." "Evening, doc." "Bellissima!" "Still 1-all?" "But I can smell the Cup." "I'm sure they'll score before you get home." "A penalty!" "Penalty to the Canadiens' number27, Kovalev." "Two minutes for hooking at 16 minutes, 18 seconds." "Saku!"
