St-Simon: Hell yes. We're going to win tonight.
Rozanov: you are always so one tone, Vic, be happy sometimes use emojis and !
St-Simon: It goes against my moral code to do anything other than periods in punctuation.
St-Simon: And the word you're looking for, for 'one toned' is monotone.
Rozanov: ah new vocabulary
Rozanov: you are very monotone Vic.

Carmichael: real torn up
Carmichael: took his phone cause he was shaking so bad he was just texting gibberish
St-Simon: Fuck.
St-Simon: Roz's out of the bathroom, definitely just threw up.
St-Simon: Muttering what sounds like "blyat, sukin syn" over and over again.
Carmichael: ??
St-Simon: Roughly translates to "fuck, son of a bitch".
Connors: you know Russian now, Vic?
St-Simon: We've been playing with the guy for eight years. I could curse out you, your mothers, your entire bloodlines, and your dicks in Russian.
St-Simon: I don't know who he's referring to as a son of a bitch, but on the offchance that it's Marly, maybe don't bring him straight back to the rink.
Carmichael: ok gonna bring Marley back to the hotel
Hammersmith: roz's leaving, imma follow at a distance
St-Simon: I'll wrap up post-game interviews, give them the 'sincerely sorry' soundbyte.
Carmichael: ok

St-Simon: Give me an hour. Connors, you've still got our room's key card, right? Haven't lost it?
Connors: yeah
Connors: debrief there?
St-Simon: Yes.
Hammersmith: Heading to praking garage

Connors: ok
Connors: see you soon
where the fuck is everyone
???
why'd you ditch me in a hotel room
St-Simon: Sorry, Marly. We wanted to let you keep sleeping. We went down to the lobby to grab breakfast at about 8.
Connors: i'm heading back up to the room with a plate of waffles, bacon, and sausage
oh
thanks
and thanks for coming to grab me after the hit
Carmichael: sure thing man
Carmichael: anytime
Cliff Marlow has changed Carmichael's name to Caretaker-Michael.
Caretaker-Micheal: only because of the shitty night we all had will I allow this.
any news on shane
Hammersmith: the league announced he'll be out for the rest of the season.
oh
is he okay though
shit like what I did to him ends careers
Hammersmith: yeah. He'll be alright.
Connors: btw, anyone seen rozy today?
Caretaker-Micheal: no
Caretaker-Micheal: no idea where he could be. actually, prolly in his room being sad
St-Simon: We'll worry about him later. For now, we deal with Hollander's injury, see if we can get Roz an opening to see Shane.
i'll distract coach with a talk about what I can do for pr, yk how he loves that shit, if one of you drops a hint to roz that he could leave?
he might be able to fuckin
idk
figure out a way to see Shane at least
St-Simon: We could use the excuse of being polite. Because his Assistant Captain did it, he could visit on guise of apology?
that
that could work
Hammersmith: alright, but Marly you've gotta talk to roz
Hammersmith: say you're really sorry, but you can't go apologize for some reason, idk make up a relative to have brunch with, so he should go.
Hammersmith: Vic and i'll go deal with coach
St-Simon: Okay. Connor, does Marly have the breakfast?
Connors: yeah
yes and its delicious
alright.
i've eaten.
everyone else good to go?
Connors: yes
Connors you don't have to answer in chat you're literally sitting two feet from me on the edge of the bed
Connors: i wanted to feel included
…
ok
everyone else?
Caretaker-Michael: 100%
Hammersmith: yep
St-Simon: Yes.
alright.
go time operation get rozanov to see Hollander
name is a work in progress
Caretaker-Michael: it gets the point across, its a fine name
Rozy
hey man
its marly
I mean you know that
because you have my number
but hey.
how are you doing
you seemed pretty torn up about hollander
Rozy: I am fine, Marly.
you're using full grammar, man
Rozy: I said I am fine.
look, I'm really sorry
I didn't mean to hit him
or anything like that
Rozy: Is fine.
please stop saying that
we both know its not fine
Rozy: What do you want me to say Marly?
Rozy: That is ok?
Rozy: Is not ok.
Rozy: he is out of season
Rozy: is not ok.
I know
and i'm so sorry about that
do you know what hospital he's at?
Rozy: why do you want to know?
I need to see him
I need to apologize
say sorry
Rozy: they moved him to Montreal general hospital
Rozy: was too far to go to Montreal neurological
thanks
Rozy: do you really think he wants to see you right now
no but i need to say sorry
its not like you can go instead
Rozy: yes I can
Rozy: I am captain.
Rozy: i can apologize for you and not add to distress
are you sure man?
i mean, that'd be great, but i don't want to make you do anything
you don't wanna do
Rozy: yes, I am sure.
Rozy: is sportsman thing to do.
okay.
Vic and Brad were already making excuses to coach, so we can just get you out of the hotel instead of me?
Rozy: ok
Rozy: I am still mad at you little bit
Rozy: now I have no good competition for season because of you
Rozy: you owe me.
fuck.
alright.
you can shoot as many pucks at me as it takes to make you feel better about being the only god on the ice for awhile
Rozy: will be taking you up on that when we get home
WHO THE FUCK DID IT?!
St-Simon: Coach has been appropriately convinced.
St-Simon: Marly, did you get Roz on board?
yes
[screenshot attached]
I owe him though
Connors: god damn he's gonna kill you
Connors: you know that, right
yes
yes I do
small price to pay
he's on board, and his location shows him leaving the hotel, heading for mntrl genrl
so safe today success.
St-Simon: I presume you mean:
St-Simon: *to say success.
shut up Vic.
