my favourite thing about heated rivalry being a period piece is remembering all of the different console generations those boys lived through. shane and ilya have both had to play Just Dance for the wii as part of a team activity. ilya spent the better part of the early 2010s in COD lobbies on the xbox 360. the montreal metros had a years-long mario kart 3DS tournament on road trips. there is no universe in which hayden didn't buy his kids a microsoft kinect that everyone hated and was only ever used by his wife to do workouts in the living room. i think about this constantly.
