Cliff Marleau winds up at the same bar that the Metros are partying in after a win against Boston. Ilya's out, definitely with his Montreal girl, so Cliff's flying solo tonight.

Especially when they're in Boston. Cliff asks what he means and Hayden, with his loose-ass lips, spills to Cliff Shane's got this Boston chick he sees. Some girl named Lily that he pretends doesn't exist half the time. Kinda freaks out about it too. Cliff chuckles. "That's kinda funny. Ilya's the same way about this Montreal chick he sees.
