Summary
~And from your lips, he drew the Hallelujah
Ilya Rozanov leaves Boston and signs with Ottawa, trying to fight a slow slide into emptiness and find meaning in his life again. Shane Hollander is a lonely, struggling artist who lost his spark. When they meet by chance, they both have to decide what's worth living for.
Or…Shane never gets the chance to become a pro hockey player, so they meet a little later in life. Basically, they’re both sad boys, but the healing will be worth it. More baggage, fewer hangups.
~You see I used to live alone before I knew ya.
——————————————————
“So maybe we would have played together,” Ilya said.
“Yeah. Maybe we would have been rivals,” Shane said, and that got a grin out of him. He couldn’t quite imagine it, but he thought that would have been fun, facing off against Ilya Rozanov. In another life.
Ilya nodded slowly. “And yet here we are, meeting anyway. Maybe we were meant to.”

Summary
“You know what, old man? Let’s call it what the fuck it is,” Shane said, growing louder. “Because when I signed with this team, ya know, when you were six years into your sad career already, you guys never had even dreamed of a fucking cup. You’re welcome, by the way, I got you four.”
“Wow, real humble Hollzy,” Stedlund scoffed.
“You’re gonna tell me I’m wrong?” Shane asked, indignantly. “That’s fine. You all better really enjoy your days with the cup because you’ll never fucking touch it again. I don’t really think I can say the same.”
OR: five times the Metros test Shane’s patience and the one time they see it run out

Summary
Before Shane continued, he let all the feelings from the past 12 years wash over him.
The house of cards he had built came tumbling down.
He relived the feeling of slamming into all his teammates when they won their first cup, their second cup, their third cup.
The feeling of being best man at many of their weddings, of holding their newborn children.
OR, the Shane gives the Montreal Voyagers a piece of his mind before leaving, after tripping in the game against Ottawa
