when they ask him if he’s looking forward to facing shane and ilya replies, “he is goalie now, yes?”, he finds if so fun, he just keeps doing it, and he’s obviously a bit more of an asshole about it every time.
“shane hollander? sorry, i don’t know the names of all assistant coaches.”
“shane hollander? the zamboni driver for montreal? does good job, sure, but i have seen smoother ice.”
“shane hollander? who is that? does he sell popcorn during the games so that he can at least watch from afar?”
“shane hollander? you mean the guy who has coffee cart outside the arena because selling iced drinks is the closest he will get to hockey?”
“shane hollander? of course i remember him. he is park guide now, did you know? yes that is the closest he will get to sticks.”
(to the journalist) “shane hollander? is that the name of your son? does he want my autograph?”
