Okay okay, aside from the usual Stanley Pup content, adding some Shane and Ilya puppies as bonus non-players is very, very cute. Howlander is an especially good dog pun.

Not only did they put them on the kiss cam, but they gave them a loon plush toy to play with at their little doggy cottage. Too adorable, not allowed.

Simu Liu that now is defending Hudson shares an agent with Connor (Albert Lee).

I think this is the absolute best way to defend and point out the racism of this smear campaign against Hudson

He wanted to curl up on the floor. How could he explain that he had just sucked someone else off, but that he still wanted to continue? Only an absolute asshole would do something like that. He was so embarrassed, shame clawing at his insides, and all of it was so awful that he wanted to curl up and die.

And he was also more turned on than he’d ever been in his life. What the fuck?

--

Shane hooks up with his buddy Joe after Ilya rejects him. Ilya turns up at his door immediately after.

It's all, mortifyingly, really fucking hot.

i think its time we talk about just how many hollanov fics on ao3 have over 100k hits because it feels absurd. as of june 9th 2026, there are 36,734 works under the Shane Hollander/Ilya Rozanov tag.

and of these, 745 have over 100,000 hits.

if you dont understand how insane these numbers are by themselves let me compare them to other very popular ships on ao3:

destiel is the ship with the most ao3 fics of all times, with 127,454 works. of these, 265 have over 100k hits.

wolfstar is maybe a more "mainstream" ship with 70,968 works. of these, 566 have over 100k hits.

jayvik was the most written ship of last year, with 21,332 works. of these, 53 have over 100k hits.

the ammount of people reading hollanov on ao3 is So insane i don't have anything to compare it to

I think it would be really funny if instead of thinking their son is some sexless shy virgin, the Hollanders think their son exclusively hooks up with puck bunnies and the reason he never brought someone home is because he's kinda a fuckboy slut. Like both Yuna and David are familiar with hockey culture and they're just glad that Shane isn't making headlines with his hook ups, or getting some girl pregnant, or even worse getting married and then cheating on his wife. He keeps his sex life private and so they don't have to talk about it. This assumption is all but confirmed for them when they start suspecting he is gay because of how straight people always assume gay men are promiscuous. Yuna is even prouder cause he's keeping his wild gay sex life so down low there's not even rumors. Her perfect media darling boy!

remember how insane this was

I imagine Ilya would attend an awards ceremony looking just like this, tats visible through the mesh. Except some of those rings would be his Stanley cup rings.
