Metros Group Chat Leak
Summary
Screenshots from the Metros Group Chat mocking Shane and Ilya are leaked. Twitter has a field day. Especially when Shane and Ilya wade in.
Notes
The group chat screenshots are taken directly from later on in this fic so you do not need to read them, just scroll down to see what the Metros had the audacity to say.
Shane Hollander is the type of guy to have his teammates name and position as their contact info change my mind
Inspired by gurlsrool's Secret Society of Stick Handlers series which lives rent free in my mind
- Inspired by wishing you the best (in the worst way) by gurlsrool
Metros Group Chat Leak
Whatsapp chat with: Peterson (RW)
Received Message: Uhhhh Cap? There's something I wanna show you but idk if I should share it? 20:45
Received Message: It's Peterson by the way 20:45
Sent Message: Yeah I know kid. Go ahead 20:45
Received Message: Okay so there's this group chat that some of the guys are in, most of the guys, the whole team apart from you, Pike, and JJ. I only got added a few months ago but I think it existed before that. Anyway they uh were saying some really horrible stuff about you and about Rozanov and you and Rozanov, fuck I'm not explaining this properly I'll just send the screenshots 20:46
Received Message: 20:46
Received Message: 20:46
Received Message: So yeah. Just thought you should know since the whole team is probably going to hate you when you come back for preseason training 20:47
Sent Message: I wish I could say I was surprised. Thank you Peterson, you're a good kid. 20:49
Sent Message: You should know that I won't be coming back to Montreal in the fall. I'm signing with another team, I can't say where until it's all official, but I wish you all the best next season. Keep playing good hockey and trust your gut. 20:50
Received Message: I- wow 20:50
Received Message: Thank you Cap that means a lot 20:50
Whatsapp chat with: Metros Boyz
Received Message from:Comeau
Did anyone else get an invitation to Hollander and Rozanov's wedding? They can’t seriously think anyone will actually show up to that right? 19:31
Received Message from:Drapeau
This whole marriage is clearly a stunt. They got caught with their metaphorical pants down and they're getting married to save face because the only thing worse than two rivals having some epic gay love story is two rivals hate-fucking 19:32
Received Message from:Olsson
I reckon they’ll be divorced within a year when this all blows over 19:32
Received Message from:Drapeau
Nahhh Holzy won’t let his reputation take the hit they’ll ride this out till retirement and divorce quietly while Rozanov fucks other people on the DL 19:33
Received Message from:Wilson
I almost feel bad for Holzy you know. Rozanov is clearly playing him for the passport he’s clearly not getting anything else out of the relationship. Even if Holzy wasn’t the worlds biggest prude it’s not like Rozanov is actually gay 19:34
Received Message from:Miitka
I don't know man it looked like they were both pretty into it in that video 19:34
Received Message from:Comeau
Oh yeah? Watch it often do you Mitty? One for your wank bank 19:34
Received Message from:Miitka
Shut up dude you know I'm not into all that gay shit I'm just saying I don't think we should count out Rozanov as one of the league faggots 19:35
Received Message from:Taylor
Nah he's got a point, I mean there's got to be easier ways to get a passport. Also isn't it straight up illegal to be gay in Russia? 19:35
Received Message from:Comeau
Fuck if I know man. Anyway point is none of us are going to that freak show of a wedding. In fact barbecue at my place that day no WAGs or kids allowed 19:36
Reactions: ‼️10
Received Message from:Drapeau
Hell yeah brother 19:36

Boys night! 19:36

I probably shouldn't be posting this here but fuck it. These are screenshots from the Metros' secret second team group chat they use to berate and belittle their own Captain. I thought the big leagues would be less petty than high school but I guess I was wrong.

@shayyyden
Okay but we have to agree that deep down a lot of what the Metros allegedly said in that group chat rings true. Maybe they shouldn't have said it the way they did, but you can't deny it's hard to believe that Shane and Ilya Rozanov have been carrying on some epic love story for years without anyone catching on?

@hollander24
Ilya and I have always kept our relationship private. Out of fear and necessity but also because our relationship is not for you. That said I will not have my love for my fiancé questioned. Ilya Rozanov is the love of my life. We met when we were 17 and I think in hindsight I was already half in love with him then. It took me 8 years to realize it for what it was but I have loved and been loved by Ilya my whole adult life. And for the record we were already engaged when we were outed.

Its a shame none of the Metros besides my best men @JJBoiziau and @HaydenPike35 could make it to the wedding. I went to every one of your weddings but I guess its too much to return the favour. Shame.
Anyway happy to announce that next season I will be joining my husband ❤️ in playing for the @centaursofficial. I’ve been a centaurs fan since I was a kid and I'm excited to represent my home town team.

Shane Hollander high on pain meds meet Shane Hollander drunk on whatever people handed him at his own wedding
Don't worry about the Rookie. He did get traded but he ended up on a team whose vibes are much less rancid than Montreal's
