and ilya’s like……. what

and hayden’s like i was there i also won i am literally a three-time stanley cup winner too

Anyway, I think Shane, Hayden and JJ get into this conversation only it's the other two asking Shane "which one of us would you date if you had to pick" expecting him to say he couldn't choose or (more likely) he doesn't want to be with anyone but Ilya.

Except Shane, without thinking, says "JJ".

And then he has to immediately backpedal because Hayden's looking at him like he just spat in his face and JJ's going "Mon Capitaine I had no idea you felt this way ~ 😏😘" and now Shane's stuck reassuring Hayden that he's very good looking, I promise and yes, I'm sure you're great in bed we really don't need to call Jackie, it's just that JJ's more obviously sexy - wait no I didn't mean it like - sure, you're sexy too, Hayden - and Hayden's going "Sure??"

like??? was she looking over a visitor log??? did the nurse happen to bring it up???

Not seeing Rozanov is not an option, so instead Shane picks out a few other cities to regularly go out by himself in. He'll go for a long walk, maybe sit down somewhere for a drink, and then catch a taxi back to the hotel an appropriate amount of time later. It's honestly pretty nice, unwinding by himself in this way, and now disappearing after games is not a thing specific to Boston! It's just another strange Hollander quirk!

Unfortunately, he fails to account for the guys on the team jumping on the most obvious explanation for all these disappearances, which is that Shane now has a girl in every port.

Word about this starts to spread quick, because it is so out of character for Shane, and pretty soon half the league is under the impression that he's some secret playboy.

When Ilya moves to the Centaurs he doesn’t get to keep his number. Some old fuck on the team already has it and refuses to trade, no matter how much Ilya bribes him.

so, in true Ilya Rozanov fashion, he picks the number 24. People think he did it to be an asshole, which is true, but he also did it to have Shane with him all the time. Shane was both infuriated and touched by it.

but then of course, years later, SHANE transfers to Ottawa. And lo and behold, the old fuck who had number 81 retired, so when Shane has to choose a number?

81 is available.

so the first day of training, Shane walks into practice in a jersey that says Hollander, 81, with an absolutely shit-eating grin on his face.

HOLLANDER V ROSANOV

I am in fact part of this fandom and I see y’all shitting on me for the bit in secret society of stickhandlers where Ilya doesn’t provide extensive aftercare for the women he sleeps with. People keep telling me/posting that it’s OOC and upsetting that he tells one woman she can go to a 7/11 down the street for food after sex and he chucks Gatorade at another as she’s walking out the door.

It’s OOC? When in canon he doesn’t provide food after sex for Shane, who he actually cares about, for like SIX YEARS??? Ilya being a fuckboy is part of his character in the early years. Why is it considered a wrongdoing to portray that? I can’t help but think people are upset because they like to imagine he’d be a perfect angel if THEY slept with him and I’m shattering that illusion. Disrespectfully: boo fucking hoo!

We also do have to think about how Ilya’s treatment of the women he sleeps with informs his relationship with Shane. If Ilya is an amazing partner after sex and super kink informed and conscious of the importance of aftercare…what does that say about his dynamic with Shane in the early years? Nothing good imo!
