Summary
Svetlana Vetrova is cursed. She is a folk tale. A myth. A wretched creature doomed to wander the earth alone, learning and re-learning the same invaluable lesson, the one she refuses to take to heart.
The lesson is this: what a treacherous thing it is to be a man’s soft place to land.
---
Svetlana's relationship with Ilya is changing. And change is good.
But when she visits the cottage and meets Shane for the first time, Svetlana is forced to confront her quiet, long-neglected desire for the kind of soft, domestic love they have - and why she can't seem to find it for herself.

John's #1 Parlay of the Day @johnchukbetzone
I'll leave it to others to argue whether the relationship should even be permitted by the league. But vital information was concealed from bettors by failing to disclose when it started. Hollander & Rozanov may have allowed billions of dollars to be wagered under false pretenses.storrowed by ilya @storrowed_by_ilya
I really should have known that the people with the absolute most deranged and late-stage capitalism reactions to the Rozanov/Hollander relationship would be online sports gamblers. You got me there. That one's on me.Halfway through Shane and Ilya’s first season playing together in Ottawa, an online sports betting company figures out how to make itself the main character when it comes to social media’s new favorite topic.

So sweet, very droll.
hilarious in-story twitter chatter:
Cliff Marlow's Duolingo Streak @jakemelnickooo
My dad used to make book back in the 80s and he says anyone who thinks you can control for players fucking should stick to playing bingo with nuns. So jot that down, I guess.Hollander GOAT Farm @pdotbrown
Really don't understand the point of the DraftKings lawsuit. The sports analytics nerds went deep when Hollander/Rozanov got outed last year, all they found was that their stats were actually better when they played against each other.flurry-adjusted expected geoff @geoffradner89
like they literally did a panel on it at sloan this yearJames Hadad UCLA Anderson '23 @jameshadad0406
Imagine being an MBA student doing the time-honored humiliation ritual of showing up at Sloan to beg for a league job and you end up at a panel about how the data proves that falling in love with your archrival makes you better at hockey 😭😭😭 -

Summary
In a hotel room their first year playing together for Ottawa, Shane and Ilya talk about gay rookies and bad threesomes and how to not sound like you're trying to hook up with Shane's mom.
"I get that you're trying to say something that's actually kind of sweet, but I cannot emphasize enough how much it sounds like you were trying to hook up with my fucking mom. Also, my mom doesn't just like you, my mom loves you. You know that."
"Sure, okay, now. But back then? I was very happy to settle for just like. You know how it is with Hollanders. You have to hook up with them for a while before the feelings start to grow."

After they came out, Shane was ready for people to be weird.
It was weird with other guys in the league, weird with reporters, weird with angry fans who thought his relationship had tanked their fantasy teams and their sports betting parlays, weird with sponsors and their very enthusiastic pride campaign pitches, weird on all the social media that he avoided like the plague.
What he hadn't expected was for things to be so fucking weird with other gay people.

Ilya has, in fact, been reading The New Yorker. It's not all think pieces and literature. There's also poetry.
