People not liking ep. 3 of Heated Rivalry are people who don't like fluff fanfic.
Because that's what Scott and Kip are. They are the fluff and established relationship tags.
Also, if you genuinely skip their episode on rewatch or skip Scott's scenes.. ew imo. Especially his opening speech in ep 6. Like that's an important speech, dude.. I cried so hard that my eyes hurt for the rest of the episode.
Scott Hunter didn't throw the first puck at the hockey stonewall for you to just ignore him for your 20 somethings fuck holiday in the woods. (i love you hollanov) He's literally the reason that Ilya decided to open himself up to Shane. He's the reason that all the closeted men in the mhl (nhl) come out in the books.
HE'S LITERALLY THE GAME CHANGER. THE SERIES IS NAMED AFTER HIM.
