Throughout the hookup era, Ilya has several woman on rotation in Boston at any given time. Any single one of them could be at his house in less than an hour if he just sent them a message. Except, as time goes on, he starts to notice that, no matter how horny he is, he never really feels inclined to invite any of them over or take anyone home from the club in the days leading up to a game against Montreal.
He doesn't really know how to describe it other than it would feel like having a full meal at 5 pm when he knows he has reservations at a three star Michelin restaurant at 8.
