    Summary

    @canadiensfan1410: Has everyone watched the first episodes of that new show, Heated Rivalry? Everyone's obsessed with the sex scenes and stuff, but I just can’t get out of my head how similar this timeline is to the Rozanov-Hollander rivalry from the 2010s.
    |
    @mariahockey24: Right!!! I was waiting for someone to mention this. They’re Canadian and Russian, drafted #1 and #2, had close battles through their rookie season, the list goes on and on. Also- please. “Elijah Roseman and Ivan Hadonov”? That’s the worst attempt at code names I’ve heard in my whole life. It’s obviously about Shane and Ilya.

     

    or

    It’s December 2025. Shane and Ilya were never outed by Hayden via fanmail, so the two of them opted to keep their marriage a secret. The public still has no idea about the two of them. Until, a hit show on HBO starts causing people to look back in time and ask some questions.

    Summary

    When Dennis agrees to be the temporary on-site doctor for a Pittsburgh Penguins hockey game as a favor to a classmate from medical school, he’s not expecting much. He’s not the first-choice to be team doctor, and he’s definitely not a hockey guy. His plan is simple: hide out on the sidelines until he can go home and crawl into bed. Funny how plans change.

     

    Or: Ilya takes a slapshot to the face and gets treated by a doctor who looks like a wet kitten.

    Summary

    Later, he’ll blame it all on a momentary lapse of judgement.

    He’ll blame it on the loneliness maybe—on the fact that, despite never having been physically closer to Shane this consistently in his entire life—that despite regularly getting dinner with Shane’s parents—that despite finally having found what he’d spend his entire life searching for he’s also, somehow, never felt more alone.

    He’ll blame it on Cliff not texting him back since he’d signed with Ottawa. He’ll blame it on Sveta, face pulled into a perpetual frown during every facetime call.

    Or maybe he’ll blame it on Anya—sweet, beautiful Anya—who’d been just a little too cute not to share.

    Summary

    The Swiss National League doesn’t care about the legendary Hollander-Rozanov rivalry. When the MLH can’t negotiate with the Hockey Players’ Union in time to prevent a hockey lockout at the start of the 2015 season, the Zürich Lions jump at the chance to sign both Shane and Ilya to short-term contracts. For four months in Switzerland, they share a team, a line, a house, and a bed. 

    Then the lockout ends in January, and it’s time to go back. Back to different countries, cities, lives. Beds.

    Reentry is harder than expected.
