    Summary

    Sometimes, Ilya Rozanov is just a weird guy. Obviously, the Bears aren’t going to say that to his face, not when he’ll chirp them into oblivion for it, but sometimes it just gets out of hand.

    Like the late night phone calls where he’s talking aggressively in Russian. The random knowledge he has offhand about how far you can throw a human being and have them come out okay. The Russian death metal he forces them to listen to, calling it family bonding. The scars he refuses to talk about.

    Cliff Marleau thinks he might be in the Russian mob. The Bratva, or whatever they call it.

    Ilya doesn't tell his team about his family until they've already invented a thousand conspiracies about it. Like him being in the mob. Or having rabies.

    Or, a variation on Figure Skating for Hockey Players in which Ilya is the one to have a figure skating relative.

    Now featuring Shane and Ilya's POVs starting from chapter 5.

    Summary

    So, if this isn't a dream, then it has to be the other thing. Time travel. Which…

    Well, Shane will believe in anything if it means Ilya isn't dead.

    So, yeah, time travel. World Juniors, 2008. Meeting Ilya for the first time ever. Again. For the second time.

    Ugh.

    Well, here he goes. It can't possibly be as awkward as the first time, right?

     

    OR, The Centaurs’ plane crashes and Ilya Rozanov dies. Roughly three months later, Shane Hollander dies on the ice. He then wakes up in 2008, on the day he met Ilya Rozanov for the first time.

    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

    “Is Boston even interested.”

    Ilya scoffs at him like Shane is an idiot.

    “Is sky blue? Is water wet? Is English stupid language? Yes, Hollander, of course we want best player in the league.” Ilya mutters more in disgruntled Russian and Shane gets up off the couch to Google Russian lessons on his ipad while continuing their conversation.

     

    Or, a Shane goes to Boston story.
