    Summary

    Selected text messages from the phones of Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander, circa 2020-2021.

     
    Troy Barrett: I’m planning to drive up to Toronto to finish packing up my apartment on Saturday, and I was wondering if you’d want to grab dinner after your game while we’re both in town?
    -
    Jane: …did you tell Barrett about us?
    Lily: no i promise
    Lily: he maybe thinks it is possible, but i did not tell
    Jane: I don’t think he has any idea
    Lily: what makes you say this
    Jane: Just a hunch

     
    Or: Troy asks for Shane’s number, and Ilya gives it to him. What could go wrong? Or maybe more importantly, what could go right?

    Summary

    Flight 771 shouldn't have been any different than any of the hundreds of other flights that Shane has taken over the course of his career, aside from the fact that it was taking him towards his lifelong dream—towards the Olympics.

    It shouldn't have been any different.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    BEND OVER, STAY DOWN.

    It is.

    Summary

    “Two losses in a row,” Bood shook his head. “That must be a new record for the great Shane Hollander.”

    Shane snorted. “Yeah. I have it in our Prenup actually that if we lose three games in a row I get to divorce Ilya and keep everything. So if we lose against Detroit, I’m filing for divorce.”

    The team surrounding Shane burst into laughter and continued on with their post game routine, removing gear and taking showers. While Ilya’s world silently fell apart.

    Or, Ilya hears Shane joking about divorce and takes it seriously. He does not handle it well.

    Summary

    “Yes. In recent games-” Ilya paused. Hollander didn’t interrupt him. “Have you read what they said about you?”
    “Who’s they?”
    “People. Hockey people.”
    Hollander stared Ilya down. “Is this supposed to motivate me?”
    “No, um, I-”
    “You should see the shit they say about *you*.”
    Ilya most definitely did see it.

     

    The NHL adds another team, resulting in an expansion draft. Shane and Ilya, both nearing the end of their careers at age 35, find themselves on the new team. Can they both prove that they’re not “too old” to lead a team to victory? And can they be honest with each other in the process?
