Shane once accidentally leaves his silicone wedding ring, that he wears during practice and games, at home. So he's not wearing a ring during one of their games against Montreal. And of course Ilya notices and will not let Shane forget it for a second. He spends the whole match pretending to be offended.
"So you're going on the ice single, Hollander? You're going to find another player to fall in love with during this match? Just please not Pike. Promise me."
"Ough, I can't even look at your gloves right now because I know underneath your hand is naked. So naked. Not even one little ring there."
"Pike, Pike, can you believe this shit? Shane decided not to wear his ring today. You know, the one I put on his finger when he promised to love me forever? Where is the love now, Pike?"
"Hollander, if you make this next goal I promise I will marry you again once the divorce is finalized."
Eventually during one of the intervals Shane turns to him like "The fuck, Ilya? We're on the same team. Sorry I forgot my ring one fucking time. I feel like shit about it already, okay? Stop chirping me and save your asshole shit for the other team."
And Ilya gets his mouth up close to Shane's face so that his lips brush the shell of his ear.
"I would, moy lyubimyy, but you play so much better when you're pissed off. Especially against Montreal." He presses a kiss to his ear and pulls back with a shit-eating grin. "Just being a good captain and getting what I need out of my team."
They beat Montreal 6-1 and Shane scores four of those goals. He now has a spare silicon wedding band that he keeps in his duffle at all times.
