    Summary

    “Goalie eyes see all” is a concept every hockey player knows.
    Sometimes, a goalie sees more that anyone else realizes.

    Goalies are weird.
    Goalies often hold a privileged status on the ice, to be protected, to be respected for their skill.
    Goalies are recognized as a special set of people in the game of ice hockey, and the nature of their position and job tends to allow them leeway in their idiosyncrasies, and teams will most often humor and adapt to their goalie’s tendencies and personality.
    Especially if they’re good at their job.

    Shane Hollander is very good at his job.

    Shane Hollander has very good goalie eyes and a reputation for making good calls.
    On the rare occasion that Hollander asserts himself on something with the team, they have learned to go along.
    Hollander doesn’t do things without a good reason.

    Even dragging people out of fights.

    Summary

    Flying down the ice, Ilya takes the puck around the back of the net and backhands it towards the farthest corner of the top shelf of the Metros net. It’s a nearly impossible shot, especially at this speed, but Ilya’s executed it perfectly. Surely not even Hollander could-

    Hollander’s glove whips out at a blinding speed and snags the puck out of the air, and Ilya snarls, hissed Russian profanity spitting between his clenched teeth.

    The score is only 1-0 in favor of the Metros. But that single goal might as well be worth 10 with how impossible it feels to match. All they need is one goal. One.

    But it seems like Hollander isn’t going to let them have it.

    OR

    Shane goes on a slightly different path, becoming a goalie instead of a forward and joining the draft one year earlier than Ilya. In different positions, and in different draft years, they're not pitted as rivals against each other from the start, but they catch each other's attention anyway. Shane's goalie-ness allows him to be freer about who he is and what he wants, and Ilya tries not to trip over his skates as he catches glimpses of those freckles behind a hockey mask.

    (He doesn't quite succeed).

    Summary

    Shane Hollander is the most sought-after goalie on the market in the 2015 offseason. The Bears are thrilled when they get the steal of the decade by signing him out from under Montreal. It’s even cooler that their captain is so close with Hollander. The two are like, best friends or platonic soulmates or something.

    Alternatively: 5 times the Boston Bears should’ve guessed that Hollander and Rozanov were totally gay for each other + 1 time when everyone knew (Except Carmy).
