I don’t want to be weird about this, but Roz shouting Shane’s name like that while lying on the ice??? like woooooaaaaah
ESPN Carter Richter @CarterRichter
There’s hockey, and then there’s real life. It’s stunningly refreshing to see a player at Hollander’s level respect his teammates and opponents so much. Wonderful show of sportsmanship under pressure from the Captain of the Montreal Voyageurs.

ooga booga @Ontariyomama
lol can i ask - why is everyone acting like hollander wasn’t also injured? ppl are acting like it’s crazy that he left the ice at the same time but he was literally bleeding from the head

Replying to @Ontariyomama
→ He was bleeding from his head and still stopped to help his teammate!! Like!! That deserves MVP and the Lady Byng fr!!!Kennedy M @KennedyMNYC
Replying to @Ontariyomama
→ The real fucking question is does the Boston Bears, a team with two Russian players, not have anyone who can translate for them during an emergency?? Like no one at all? Why are we calling in another team’s captain to do this?? @NHLOfficial @TheBostonBearsNHL get your team translators, dicks.Katie Ledbeck @katieledbeck
Replying to @KennedyMNYC

Let’s all just collectively shut the fuck up for a day or two. There haven’t even been any concrete updates on Rozanov!

Replying to @sashaisintoronto

Replying to @GaySportsNewsRoom
→ who is shane’s emergency contact? Seems like Rozanov is swallowing all the attention for this, but Shane has left the arena before the game finished, like, maybe once in his entire career. That hit was fucking crazy, I’d be shocked if they didn’t both have concussions
Boston Bears @TheBostonBearsNHL
We are beyond happy to report that our Captain, @rozanov81 Ilya Rozanov, is awake and recovering after last-night’s on-ice collision, and expected to make a full recovery.

Replying to @TheBostonBearsNHL
→ @TheBostonBearsNHL @NHLOfficial where the fuck are your translators/interpreters? This has been a major issue in the league for years. Your players come from around the world and you are not supporting them at all. Relying on players on opposing teams to take up the burden of translating medical knowledge is fucking insane. #dobetterNHL
Voyageurs Montréal @VoyageursMTL
Our Captain Shane Hollander is resting and recuperating today with his family after sustaining minor injuries in last night’s game at the Bell Centre. As always, we commend our captain’s sportsmanship in a tough moment on the ice. @rozanov81 Hoping your recovery is swift.

→ I remember when he won the MVP award. I had the tv on in the background, not really watching (i only watch Bears games and i don’t give a shit about any other team so i just wanted to see if Roz would win) and when Roz dragged Hollander onto the stage i literally sat down and watched the whole speech. It was so beautiful and so unexpected for Rozanov at the time, but i was absolutely captivated by the level of intimacy in that translation. I know ppl shit on Roz for dragging shane up there without telling him, but that was a fucking beautiful moment in hockey historyhollanov confirmed?? @iloveilyarozanov

→ shane hollander is so fucking in love and so bad at hiding it (lets be honest, i would be too if ilya rozanov smiled at me like that)Alex @ag1736413
Replying to @CattieHanesYoutubeOfficial
→ What always gets me with these two is how different they are with everyone else. Shane in interviews is so tightly wound and so well-spoken. I love him and I think he’s probably the best player in the league right now (sorry Ilya), but he’s such a polished guy. (1/4)Alex @ag1736413
Replying to @ag1736413
→→ Rozanov is like the opposite, obviously. He’s so brash and so purposefully aggressive with interviewers. Even though his English is way better now, it’s always been pretty clear that he doesn’t want to give serious interviews because of the language barrier (#dobetterNHL), but with Shane? (2/4)Alex @ag1736413
Replying to @ag1736413
→→→ They’re just different people when they're together. The way Shane smiles, there are so many videos where you can literally see his shoulders relax the second Ilya walks up to him. And their face-offs? When they’re smiling and grinning like little kids, when usually they’re the most focused, aggressive players on the ice? I’ve been a hockey fan my entire life, and I’ve never seen anything like it. (3/4)Alex @ag1736413
Replying to @ag1736413
→→→→ I’m not speculating about the nature of their relationship, because that isn’t my business and I can’t imagine what they’ve gone through in their careers, but wow. Those two people love each other. (4/4)
