    Asked about facing a divided #Metros team tomorrow, Boston #Raiders Captain Ilya Rozanov says, "We don't need it, but if they want to give us [an] advantage..."

    > Marian Kasel @MarianKaselESPN
    "Of course, Hollander's weak backhand is all the advantage we need. Maybe Pike finally pointed that out to him," Rozanov adds tongue-in-cheek. "It is true, but also [an] insult from Montreal's 15th best player."

    Or: Shane Hollander and Hayden Pike appear to be fighting. While the internet tries to figure out what might have happened there, Rozanov has a theory of his own – one that makes the looming Metros-Raiders match-up even more competitive.

    What a surprise! We've just spotted a very familiar car to dedicated #Metros fans in the parking lot at #PlaceBell where one of our #TRANScendingTheCloset camps is held... 👀

    [picture attached: A black minivan with black-tinted windows is parking in one of the reserved spaces in a parking lot. The background shows "Place Bell" on a hockey rink, and the back of the car features a stylised decal of a hockey stick, two Stanely Cups, several gems, a sword in a stone, and a casino chip.]

    Ilya Rozanov on him and Hayden Pike both having an A on Team Eisner at this ASG: "Maybe he rigged the vote to get backhander tips for free. [He laughs] No, no, it will be good I think. Hollander must be seething."

    > Carmen Janelle @CLJanelle
    When I tell him about Hollander's joking remark to ask Team Hunter to draft him, Rozanov laughs. "I won't forget this," he tells me, echoing Pike. For my own sanity, I do not let him know.

    🥺🥺 I cant believe this and take it all back. Is lie! I would never echo Hayden Pike!! #liesandslander

    The boys go to the All Star Game. Shenanigans ensue – mainly told through Twitter threads, with a dash of texting, tumblr, and broadcast transcripts (not in that order).
