While protests

against the war

Baghdad is eerily quiet

a campaign of Shock and awe.

Iraqi Foreign Minister

Tariq Aziz

repeated again his

governments willingness

(Radio off)

- Americans, man!

Oh, I got the schedule

for Montreal.

Got the Brockton team

We could use a tune-up.

I knew you would.

to Mrs. Hockett about?

- Oh, nothing.

You know, just chatting.

Come on, give

me your jersey.

It looked like you were crying.

- Well, I wasnt.

Crying about what?

You are such a little worrier!

- Youre coming

to Montreal, right?

- Uh, I cant.

- Why not?

- Im sorry, hon. I just

have so much marking to do.

Grade 12 midterms and...

You guys go.

What? Youll have

a great time.

Shock and awe has hit

the Iraqi capital

with a vengeance.

Baghdad is under attack.

- Hey, honey.

Have a good practice?

- Coach, come here

and look at this.

- ...is a prime target.

- How we doin?

- Well, were in it now.

- Any word about Chris?

- No, his units

still not deployed.

- With any luck,

this will all be over

before he gets called up.

- Amen to that.

Want to stay for dinner?

- Thats OK, I gotta run.

But, listen.

Some of the families were

wondering about

the Montreal trip,

with all this going on.

- Were not cancelling, are we?

- Well, concerns were raised

about security.

Terrorist cells striking border

crossings, that kind of thing.

- Who raised that? Diane?

- Yeah.

- Well, exactly.

- Theres no way were

cancelling. We gotta go.

- We washed too many cars, baked

too many cookies for this.

Its Montreal,

home of the Habs.

We gotta go.

Dont worry.

- Maybe if you talk to her.

- All right.

She can borrow my flak jacket.

- Dont make fun.

Shes a single mother.

Her hands are full with

- Not Dennis?

- Get out of here!

- See you in the morning.

- And thats the

latest from Baghdad.

Back to you in

the news room, Laurie.

- Thank you, Jack.

Thats the latest report

from our correspondent

on the ground...

- So, whats wrong with you?

- Nothing. I had a bad game.

Get off my back.

- You dont have bad games.

- Look, it doesnt matter.

Well kick ass in Montreal.

- OK, just dont want you to

swan in front of a scout.

Need you to make

me look good.

- What scout?

- Notre Dame.

- Get out of here.

- Im serious!

- Theyre coming to see you?

- Theyre coming to

see both of us.

My dad set it up.

A-game, buddy. A-game.

Leafs are taking me

in the first round,

so dont screw it up for me.

- Yeah, in your dreams.

(Mother and father arguing)

(Arguing)

Lets go!

Load it up!

- Pretty cool news, eh?

- Whats that?

- About K.P. and Jordy being

scouted in Montreal.

- What?

I set it up when I

was there last week.

Jordy didnt tell you?

- No.

Load it up!

Hmm?

Thats better.

Have fun, sweetie.

play with those?

Thats for little kids!

- We can play on the bus.

- Well, its just

that I heard

that one of the 9/11 hijackers

came from Montreal.

- Well, if he did,

hes dead now.

- You know what

I mean, Coach.

- Look, I dont know

what do say, Diane.

If you want to take Dennis

out and not come,

thats completely understandable

if thats how you feel.

Look, I felt a whole

lot better about it

after I talked to Peter.

- Really?

- Yeah, hes up on all that

Homeland Security stuff.

Talk to Pete.

Here we go. Are we ready here?

- Yeah, all right.

Hey, if Chris gets

called up, you know...

- I dont want you worrying.

Dads got the cell phone. Ill

let you know if I hear anything.

Dont worry. Nothings going to

happen while youre gone, OK?

OK?

- Yeah.

to have a great time.

Dont worry about

Only red does.

off and listen up.

Petes got something

he wants to say to you.

- OK, I got some good

news and some bad news.

Bad news is the movie theater
