Thought I’d share a comment made on The Puck Crew podcast. On the best day of Shane’s life [getting drafted] almost immediately the owner is bringing up his race, talking about how thrilled he is that Shane is Asian. You have to wonder if a part of Shane is thinking, “Is this why I was drafted? Is it not for hockey? Is it all PR? Would I not be good enough otherwise?”

Which explains why he’s dissociating in that scene—because his Asian heritage makes him uncomfortable.

In the book, we were able to read about his internalized homophobia, but in the show we get to see another layer of how Shane sees himself [his race].

To the NHL, he’s an asset.

To the media, he’s a story.

To his mother, he’s an inspiration.

To Rose, he’s a survivor.

But to Ilya, he’s just beautiful. He’s just Shane.
