    Summary

    "I did not realize until you got here, how much they do not realize what a Montreal locker room actually sounds like."

    --or, a slight A/U where Shane didn't stay in Montreal after the cottage just because he wanted to or because he thought it was expected of him and those years after he came out to his team had been worse than he lets on

    ---OR, Shane acquires a Russian duckling, finally sets the record straight with his man, goes full 'protect the rookie' mode when his duckling is checked during a game in Montreal, and learns how to be part of a team again (in that order)

    Summary

    During the Rose Landry era, Ilya acts out a little more self-destructively, a little more recklessly, and slips up for the first time in a decade.

    His teammates—the boys, his Cup crew—well. They're doing their best.

    Summary

    “No offense,” Cliff says, bluntly, “But I’ve never seen you before. If you’re Rozy’s friend, then why haven’t we ever met you? I don’t think- I’ve never even heard your name before.”
    He’s not prepared for the twist of grief, an expression so wild and an ache so deep Cliff almost recoils– before Shane’s face smooths out again and he returns to looking empty.
    “It’s complicated,” he says, finally.

    When Rozy takes a hard hit in Montreal and doesn’t get back up, Cliff expects he’ll be the only one in the waiting room.
    He isn’t.

    Or: cliff marleau has 2.5 confusing conversations, witnesses a generational crashout, and tries his best; not in that particular order.
