Geno: Why?

Nikita: Every time I don’t go he scores at least one goal. Every time I do go he scores zero

Geno: I hope you don’t come tomorrow

moral of the story: make him mad again josh

Was it different, with a guy? Of course. Was it better?

putting the remaining evidence behind a cut because. there's just so much.

Alex Nedeljkovic: I'm bad at making stuff up but what's coming to my head is bridges. They're gold. I was going to say the Golden Arches but now I'm thinking that's McDonald's.

Kris Letang: The Bumblebees.

Rickard Rakell: Pittsburgh Deers. There's a lot of deers here.

Sidney Crosby: Oh! What about the Power? That was the arena football team. I like that.

Cody Glass: I would say the Steel, but the Steelers are already here.

Noel Acciari: I think the Prime, like it sounds like Primanti's.

Michael Bunting: Something with Heinz. We have Steel for the Steelers, and Heinz started here. Something to do with that. Ketchup, mustard, I don't know.

Joel Blomqvist: It would need something to do with steel. Yeah, the Steelheads.

Bryan Rust: Something to do with the rivers ... Maybe like, the Three River Queens. 

Phil Tomasino: It's the Steel City, right? So maybe the Pittsburgh Steel, Steel HC.

Jesse Puljujarvi: Pittsburgh  ... Pittsburgh ... Pittsburgh ... Pittsburgh ... Pittsburgh ... Pittsburgh Cats (laughs hysterically).

Kevin Hayes: Pittsburgh has the Steelers, but Pittsburgh Steel. Like, Steel HC.

Matt Nieto: Maybe, like, the Tinkerbells. I have no idea! That's the first thing that came to mind.

Matt Grzelcyk: Honestly, I don't even have a guess right now. I haven't been here long enough to know the ins and outs of the city.

Anthony Beauvillier: What's a female penguin, or other kind of penguin? Maybe like the Puffins? Something like that.

P.O Joseph: Oh wow, Heinz maybe? The Heinz.

Valtteri Puustinen: Penguins in Finnish is Pingviinit. Maybe that! You have the Penguins and Pingviinit.

Blake Lizotte: The Sparrows. I don't know why, that's just what came to mind.

Ryan Shea: Thinking of other women's teams, I don't want to reuse names like, the Boston Pride. The first things that come to mind are like, bridges, steel. You could shorten the Steelers and be the Pittsburgh Steel, that sounds good and doesn't take away from the Steelers.

Ryan Graves: Something with the rivers ... The River Monsters.

Tristan Jarry: What's a baby Penguin called? A chick? The Pittsburgh Chicks.

Marcus Pettersson: The Bridges.

Drew O'Connor: The Monongahelas. Isn't that the river? Buccos would be a cool name, but they can't really do that because the Pirates go by that.

Jack St. Ivany: It's the City of Steel, but the Steelers use that. Something with the rivers? Pittsburgh Rivers.

"Can you imagine being the reason that Ilya Russian-Greatest-Love-Machine Rozanov spends the rest of his life having boring missionary style sex? Shane Hollander, if you really love him, let him go"

And everyone can see Ilya trying to understand the tweet for a second before he freezes, his breathing becoming unsteady while he interrupts Shane (stammering through a media trained response) to say:

"you... You think that Shane... You think he..."- before completely collapsing into absolute laughter. The kind of laughter that kind of hurts, that has you wheezing and trying to find your breath, that gets tears in your eyes and turns your face red from lack of oxygen. His voice and laughter get high-pitched, and he has to steady himself on his husband cause he almost falls from his chair.

The man is completely undone while Shane smacks his leg to "shut up, shut up!", all the while trying and failling to finish the sentence, cause he can't believe anyone on this planet could think of Shane as anything less as a sexually-deviant-kinky motherfucker who would rather die than do something less than soft BDSM.

Every time he starts to calm down, he looks at the camera and starts laughing again. They have to stop recording for 15 minutes, and in the following part of the interview everyone can see the red eyes from the tears of laughter, and the cuts in the video from where he couldn't control himself and started laughing again.

Shane's like, "I was the one who introduced myself to you!" With Ilya replying "yes, but I made it romantic!" And normally Shane would never admit this under penalty of death but Ilya just engaged his competitiveness over who's responsible for their relationship so he immediately throws back, "romantic? Oh, please, you jerked off in front of me and you only did that because I was already hard." Ilya then, of course, comes back with, "you wouldn't have even been in that shower if I hadn't booked you for that commercial! And you were ready to pretend to forget it until I came to your room and kissed you."
