   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?
