Any chance you could use two babysitters today while your husband is at practice with worst hockey team in the league?
Unfortunately I think you're right about that.
And yes please! Come over any time!
Thank you
I think a distraction will be good for Shane
What about you, Ilya? How are you holding up?
I don't know. Still in shock, I think.
Shane is very stressed about the meeting tomorrow. Is making me worry more than I was before
We both need to get out of the house, I think.
I will feel better after dance party I promised Ruby and Jade
Oh yeah, they told me about that
I'll start moving the furniture
Nonsense. Big strong hockey players will do it.
We will be there in half an hour

Jade and Ruby said Shane needed a makeover
Are you at my house?
Yes
Even after you ruin my life, I am still free babysitter
Ilya I'm so fucking sorry
Like you don't even know how much
Fucking relax, Hayden. Was a joke.
Please stop apologizing. Is okay. We know it was an accident.
I know, but still…
Ugh. You're as annoying as Shane
Stop
You're jeopardizing status as my second favorite Voyageur
I'M your second favorite Voyageur?!
Fuck.
Dark times...
Tell me about it.
Today 12:43 PM
Also, tell Shane he looks like a clown
I will
Cute clown
He has lipstick now too

So you can obviously say no
But J.J. wants to come over…
Today 4:01 PM
Shane?
I have no problem telling him no
I have no problem telling him to go fuck himself, actually
Thanks, Hayd
He can come over
But Ilya might dismember him in front of your children
They've seen worse

Okayest Pike

Today 9:14 PM
Now that Shane and J.J. made up, does that make me your third favorite Voyageur?
No
J.J. is still bottom of the list
Shane is weak. Forgives too easily. I carry his grudges for him
Yeah, that sounds about right

Hayden

Today 9:36 PM
Did Ilya send you pictures of me with make-up on?
Yeah
And he said you looked like a clown

Hello? What is happening??

Carter Vaughan✅ @CVaughan19

I stand with Rozanov and Hollander, and until they're reinstated, I'm sitting with them too. #LetThemPlay

Scott Hunter ✅ @Scott_Hunter

Since their first season in the NHL, Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been breaking records and breaking boundaries. They are incredible players on the ice, and great men off of it. They are exactly the sort of players the league should be touting as the best of us. To not do so is disgusting, discriminatory, and something I have no interest in being a part of. I'll be sitting as long as they do. #LetThemPlay

Luca Haas ✅ @lucahaasnhl

I've looked up to Ilya Rozanov since I was in mites, and getting to play with him this season has been the opportunity of a lifetime. In the last year he's been a wonderful teammate, an amazing role model, and a dear friend. My career wouldn't be what it is without him, and neither would this league. Until he's back on the ice, I'll be joining him on the bench. #LetThemPlay

Brandon Wiebe ✅ @BWiebe_Ottawa

Even though I'm technically always on the bench, I will be doing the coaching equivalent of sitting out until these two highly-regarded captains are back where they belong. #LetThemPlay

Ottawa Centaurs ✅ @OttawaCentaurs

The Ottawa Centaurs' organization supports its players 100%, and believes the League should do the same. This is our official announcement that our team will not be continuing with our regularly scheduled games until our roster is whole again. #LetThemPlay

Wyatt Hayes ✅ @Wy_Hazy

The choice to come out was taken away from them, but the choice to continue playing hockey shouldn't be. #LetThemPlay

Cliff Marleau ✅ @CMarleauOfficial

I've been playing with or against Ilya Rozanov for over a decade now, and while I much prefer playing with him, I draw the line at playing in a league that doesn't include him. #LetThemPlay

Ilya Rozanov ✅ @rozanov81
replying to @CMarleauOfficial
love you, marley💕

Cliff Marleau ✅ @CMarleauOfficial
replying to @rozanov81
💕miss you, bud

New York Admirals ✅ @NYAdmirals

The New York Admirals organization has always believed that hockey should be for everyone. If the League continues its efforts to bar players from competition because of their sexualities and personal relationships, then we cannot, in good conscience, continue to participate. #LetThemPlay

Eric Bennett ✅ @EBennett_Goalie

Never been prouder to be a (retired) NY Admiral #LetThemPlay

Aleksandr Koval ✅ @Koval_LVKnights

Until the league wises up and does the right thing, I'm joining the @admirals and @centaurs on the bench. #LetThemPlay

Ryan Price ✅ @Ryan_Price

I'm no longer a part of the NHL, but if I was, I would be sitting out tonight, too. It's long past time for the league to evolve. Do the right thing. #LetThemPlay

Nic Johansson ✅ @Blackhawks_Captain

Hollander and Rozanov are some of best this sport has ever seen. Every game against them is a painfully hard-fought battle. As much as I dread the days we're scheduled to play them, I can't stand idly by and watch what's being done to them. So, I'll be sitting idly by instead. #LetThemPlay

Hayden Pike ✅ @HaydenPike

Shane Hollander has never given less than 1000% to this sport, and to his team, since the day he joined the league. People seem keen to forget that now, but I, for one, will never forget the people who chose not to stick by him. I'll be sitting out until both Shane and Ilya are returned to their teams. #LetThemPlay

J.J. ✅ @jjboiziau

I've called Shane Hollander my Capitaine for six seasons, and my friend for over a decade. I haven't always gotten things right, in hockey or in life, but even I know what the league is doing is wrong. I'll be joining my teammates @ShaneHollander24 and @HaydenPike on the bench until further notice. #LetThemPlay

San Jose Sharks ✅ @SanJoseSharks

Hockey is for everyone, or it's for no one. The San Jose Sharks, and our AHL affiliate the San Jose Barracudas, are joining the Centaurs and Admirals in cancelling all games until Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are reinstated to their teams. #LetThemPlay

LA Kings ✅ @LAKings

Barring Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander from play goes against everything the NHL is supposed to stand for. The Los Angeles Kings will also be cancelling all upcoming games until the league decides to start living up to its own standard. #LetThemPlay

Boston Bears ✅ @Boston_Bears

We've taken our fair share of cheap shots at Ilya Rozanov since he left us, but even we are disgusted and outraged by the actions of this league. This is discrimination, plain and simple, and we're not going to take any part in it. The Boston Bears will not be continuing with our season schedule until we can go back to hating @rozanov81 in peace. #LetThemPlay

Troy Barrett ✅ @tbarrettofficial

Between the NHL and AHL, that's 29 teams (and counting) who are missing key players, or are boycotting games altogether. That accounts for 5 game cancellations just today.

Your move, Crowell. #LetThemPlay

NHL Mutiny

Anyone heard anything??
Wyatt

NHL ✅ @NHL

Ilya Rozanov (C - Ottawa) and Shane Hollander (C - Montreal) will return to their teams, effective immediately.

hollzee @champayneproblems
i can't believe the only voyagaurs who said a fucking word were pike and jj. i knew there were some assholes on that team but literally no one else stood up for their fucking captain?! absolutely disgusting

kaz @shaneageurs
replying to @champayneproblems
i mean… it is kinda all pike's fault. so if anyone should have been sitting, it was hayden

ellie 🏒 @hunterswingman
replying to @champayneproblems
there's literally a compilation video of Drapeau and Comeau using homophobic slurs, so I'm not shocked that (almost) everyone in that organization fucking sucks

Thank you all very much
for what you did. I cannot

to me. To both of us.
Wyatt

Dykstra
BOTH of you!❤️

Speak for yourselves. I'm
mad Hollander has never

bbqs.
Wyatt
Good point! Hollander,

It's just rude
Troy
Everybody goes to Bood's

Chouinard
You're the baby
Dykstra
The fetus
Bood
Welcome to the family bbq
at my house next weekend!
Hollander, do you like jerk
chicken?
No. He is weak Canadian.
Jerk chicken would kill him.
Bood
Don't act like you're tough,
Roz. You cried the first time
you tried my pepper sauce
IS LIE!!
IF I cried, which I DIDN'T, is
only because it was so bad
Troy
I can't believe Ilya survived a
showdown with Roger
Crowell, only to be
murdered in cold blood by
Zane Boodram
Bood
^^
He would never! He would
miss me too much 😘
Also sorry Shane is not
replying, he checked Twitter
and is too busy crying
Shane💖
Fuck you, I'm not

Wyatt
Aww don't cry Hollzy 💕
Shane💖
I hate it here
Shane has left the chat
Ilya has added Shane to the chat
I apologize for his rudeness
He was very mean and scary
in meeting with Crowell and
now is coming off adrenaline
high
Shane💖
Fuck. Off.
Chouinard
....are we sure they're
actually together?
Troy
I mean if you had to put up
with Roz all the time,
wouldn't 'fuck you' be your
answer every time he
opened his mouth?
^exactly
Wyatt
So since we're talking about
this…
Is this a good time to ask
about the ring Roz started
wearing on his crucifix a
couple of months ago?
Harris🥰
W H A T
😊
Troy
WHAT?!!?!!
Dykstra
HOLY SHIT
You are all invited to
wedding in July!
Will be at our cottage. I
will text you the address
Shane💖
Ignore him
We're sending out actual
invitations
Why? This works just as
well??
Shane💖
You're fucking classless
Dykstra
Okay, I love him. We're
keeping him
Troy
Wait, aren't you two literally
in the same room?
(Attached Image)
Yes
Shane💖
STOP SENDING PICTURES
OF ME
Troy
So you're just sitting there
cuddling while arguing over
text?
No
We are also arguing about
something else in real life
Wyatt
Okay, yeah. They're perfect
for each other.
