Scott
Also, being realistic I think there’d be no one left in the MLH

Vaughny
unfortunately that's true😤

Scott
Yup

Scott
What can you do

Scott
Luckily most of the worst guys seem to be ignoring me completely 

Scott
I did not want to talk to Kent anyway

Vaughny
lmao his breath STINKS

Scott
I mean, I meant his shit personality but yeah you aren’t wrong haha

Scott
Wait Rozanov is headed my way

Vaughny

Lily

Lily
i will not say anything too obvious but he should know he is not alone

Lily
what he did was good

Jane
Wow. Never thought I’d see the day when you say Scott Hunter did something good😅

Jane
Haha

Lily
da me too

Lily
is horrible

Lily
but when you have been alive for 3 million years you end up doing something good is just chance

Lily

Lily

Jane
Haha

Jane
Where the fuck did you learn the word probability?

Lily

Jane

Vaughny

Scott
Jesus that was so weird

Scott
It was like he was trying to say something me but like 

Scott
I honestly didn’t get any of it

Scott
So not overtly homophobic but honestly I have no clue

Vaughny
what happened??

Scott
He said something about lots of people being affected by my actions

Scott
But his face was all serious so I couldn’t tell if he meant it in like a supportive way or like those guys who think they’re somehow negatively affected by who I'm dating

Scott
And then he was chirping the shit out of me 

Scott
Usual shit about me being old🙄

Scott
And then he was like if you tell anyone about this conversation I kill you

Scott
So all in all, pretty weird

Vaughny
WTF

Vaughny
are you fuckin joking???

Vaughny
he legit threatened ur life 

Vaughny
how is that not 'overtly homophobic'

Scott
I don’t know maybe he was being serious about the me affecting people but like in a good way?

Vaughny
bro i doubt it

Vaughny
this is rozanov

Vaughny
he’s never serious

Vaughny
also he 100% got cancelled in 2011 for saying the f slur😤😤😤😤

Vaughny
i remember it well

Scott
Oh shit really?

Scott
How did I not know about this?

Vaughny

@shaydenmydarlingsx

@shaydenmydarlingsx
it makes me so sad

@shaydenmydarlingsx
it feels disrespectful 

@hollanovtruther
Responding to @shaydenmydarlingsx
i hope pike has YET another child with his WIFE of 7 YEARS u insufferable cunt

 


 

@ScottHunterOfficial ✔️
Thank you to everyone who has reached out to show your support. The MLH isn’t perfect when it comes to inclusion, but having people who are supportive means a lot and helps us ignore the ignorant minority. 

#hockeyisforeveryone

 


 

Jane

Lily

Interview transcript:


[Ilya Rozanov being interviewed by John Bard after the first New York Admirals Vs Boston Bears game of the 2017-2018 season.]

 

JB: An unfortunate loss for the team today, Rozanov, what can you say to explain the team’s poor showing today?

IR: Was unlucky day today. Marlow is out on injury, Varkov too. Is tricky when solid players are not on ice. Coaches must switch plays and sometimes does not go to plan. But we will come back stronger next time.

JB: Right. Any thoughts on the Admirals particularly volatile style of play tonight?

IR: Win was just luck for them. Our team did not play as well, they were lucky. 

JB: Right, but what I meant is do you have a comment on the fact that some of the Admirals players’ seemed to have it out for you today? You took a lot of pretty rough checks out there today.

IR: Ah. I have no thoughts. Maybe they think if they put me in injury too then they take us out playoffs? I cannot say why they choose a certain strategy. You must ask their coach, da?

JB: And did they succeed? 

IR: [scoffs] No. I am strong enough to take their weak hits. My grandmother hit harder than them. Is very embarrassing.

JB: [laughing] Alright then. What do you think about the rumours that this is connected to the allegations circulating online. 

IR: [frowning] I do not understand. 

JB: Do you think they’re deliberately targeting you because of the rumours online that you were homophobic towards Scott Hunter?

IR: [laughing] Ah, maybe. But I treat him same as before. That is being true ally, not being nice for no reason. Treating him same. Is equal rights. Therefore, I am not homophobic. Simple. 

JB: Right… well, thanks for clearing that up for us.

IR: [winks] No problem.

 


 

@admiralsneverlose
saying you hate on a gay man for equal rights is not the slay you think it is u disgusting man

@hunterworlddomination
I fucking hate Rozanov!!!

@hello911
sorry but why is he laughing and winking? so gross and disrespectful 

@thatshowashseesit
yet more proof that rozanov is scum… who’s shocked

@hollandrno1fan
Why does this give the same vibes as men who say ‘equal rights equal fights’🤢🤢

@hollandrycomebacktome
Responding to @hollandrno1fan

Jane
Ignoring that… 

Jane

Jane
Besides, hopefully this will actually give you some good press for once😅

Lily

Jane
Love you too :)

YouHeardItHereFirst: Scott Hunter, Carter Vaughn, and other NY Admirals conspicuously absent from Irina Foundation Charity Gala...

 

Hello!Canada: Were any NY Admirals invited to the Irina Foundation Charity Gala or is this a targeted boycotting in the name of LGBT rights?

 


 

Jane
Fuck

Jane
How has this happened to both of us?

Jane
Farah keeps calling me and saying I need to put out a statement but it feels weird to put out a statement to say I support LGBTQIA people when I'm fucking gay.

Jane
Does that make sense?

Jane
This is so fucked.
