Rewriting the narrative in my own head that Shane had a blade malfunction instead of a standard trip to explain why he just fuckin laid there on the ice.
Also the deviation of his team then accusing him of cheating, of sabotaging his own skates, to give Rozanov a win would hit different. Think of the drama. We could have had a whole subplot of the league actually having to investigate for purposeful damage on his skates, confiscating all his gear, his teammates handing over their gear to be checked. It could have been so juicy, but noooo, this motherfucker did the most basic ice sport thing and slipped then just sat there 😒
