I think the day after Shane’s hockey obligations are over for the season, he sleeps for an absurdly long time, just totally dead to the world, really deep, nothing short of the apocalypse is gonna wake him up type shit.
The first year Shane and Ilya live together, when the season ends, Shane goes to sleep and then just doesn’t wake up for a full day. Ilya, obviously, freaks the fuck out, tries to wake him and then when that fails, goes to check his pulse.
Unfortunately for Ilya, because Shane is a ridiculously fit athlete, his resting heart rate is shockingly low (hey Sid Crosby and your 36-38 bpm) and in Ilya’s panic he legit thinks Shane’s dead or at the very least experiencing some kind of heart issue and is in a coma.
Cue Ilya calling an ambulance, convinced his husband is a goner, only for Shane to wake up extremely confused with a room full of strangers and a stretcher next to his bed.
Ilya is, understandably, equal parts distraught and relieved, and Shane is horrifically embarrassed and then has to spend the next week making it up to Ilya because he didn’t give him a heads up that that was likely to happen.
