    To say that Hirano's week has been horrendous would be to put it mildly.

    Summary

    Hayden didn’t recognize the woman Shane was talking to. She was younger, must have been a rookie’s girl. She had her phone shoved between her breasts, using her bra like a purse, the way so many women did.

    Hayden heard her ask if Shane had someone there, and Shane sounded maudlin and wasted as he said, “I’ve been in a situationship for five and a half years. If I could have one wish in the whole wide world, my situationship would be here. Situationships don’t come to after-parties, they just leave you feeling broken and sad and… We won the Cup.”

    Shane never, ever acknowledged that “Boston Lily” was as much as a friend, let alone a situationship… and five and a half years… that was back before rookie year. That was before the draft.

     

    ***

    Shane gets alcohol poisoning while celebrating winning the Cup. A video gets on the internet. Ilya comes to rescue him.

    Summary

    Two years of playing together, and it still hit him every time. The casualness of it. My husband. Said out loud, in public. After years of hiding—stolen moments in hotel rooms, careful distance in public, the constant exhausting performance of just teammates, just rivals, nothing to see here—now Ilya could say it like it was nothing. Like it was easy, like it was the most natural thing in the world.

    Because it was. Finally.

    In which Ilya Hollander-Rozanov cannot shut up about his husband. (Subtitled: No one asked, Ilya. Ilya. No one asked.)

    Summary

    "What's happening?" asks the lone Raiders fan that Shane has found himself next to, a young woman with St. Simone on the back of her black and gold jersey.

    Her friend, a handsome woman in Metros' blues, explains, "Une malédiction. A curse." Her Québécois accent lifts the ends of her sentences into a lilting melody.

    "Oh." The Raiders fan frowns, concerned. "Does someone have it out for Hollander? Shouldn't sporting arenas be protected against that?"

    Her friend laughs. "It's Centre Bell itself who has it out for Hollander. You've never heard the story about the TD Garden trying to eat Magic Johnson?"

    Or; The Bell Centre carries a hundred years of hockey and all of its grudges. Ilya must traverse its depths to save Shane.
