    Summary

    Ilya has been used to it for years, living in constant comparison with Shane. Ilya is frequently praised for his aggressive play style, tearing out onto the ice like a rabid animal and winning through brute force. He’s a loose cannon out on the rink, that’s why Boston loves him so much. Shane’s image in the media is much different. He doesn’t fight, he doesn’t speak badly about other teams, he’s calm and calculated. Ilya is not.

    Ilya Rozanov is famous for his 'don't give a fuck' attitude. You don't win Stanley Cups if you don't give a fuck.
    5 times people get to see another side of Ilya, and 1 time they get to see another side of Shane too.

    Summary

    Several years into Rozanov’s career, ESPN hires a reporter fluent in Russian.

    Suddenly able to answer questions fluently and with a wide vocabulary, Rozanov’s interviews go viral. Hockey fans around the world get a new look at what they thought about Boston’s #81. This changes not only his public persona, but his whole life.

    Inspired by the look on NBA star Nikola Jokić’s face when he was asked a question in his native Serbian and my own struggles learning a new language.

    Summary

    As a straight man, Ilya Rozanov has never had a gay roommate before, but it’s going pretty well. Shane Hollander is kind, silly, and an even bigger hockey nut than Ilya.

    So when Shane starts bringing men over, and Ilya begins to want to bash their fucking heads in, Ilya comes to a startling conclusion: He must be homophobic.

    (He’s jealous.)
