Twenty Years of the Ilya Rozanov Fight Compliation
Summary
Dylan starts playing around with video editing software after taking (and dropping) a community college media class in 2011. He may as well use the new skills to make something, so he makes a hockey video. This leads to him becoming the ‘Ilya Rozanov Fight Compilation’ guy – it’s the start of an interesting two decades.
Or, the twenty years of Ilya Rozanov's MLH career as seen through the posts of one social media account.
Notes
Me to myself after finishing my last social media fic which spanned a timeline of 3 months: wow social media fics are a lot of work with the formatting and the keeping usernames consistent and ensuring the like 100 different users ‘posting’ within the fic keep consistent character and so on and so on
Me to myself literally two hours later: next I’m going to write one that spans two decades
Okay so, this fic is inspired by and is a little bit of a love letter to all the hilarious moments in social media fics on here where some idiot is like “Ilya Rozanov can you fight?” and Ilya links them to a compilation of his fights.
This relies mostly on book canon but with a healthy dose of show canon where desired. I use MLH to refer to the NHL, WHL to refer to the PWHL and AHL to refer to AHL because I gave up by that point.
Also writing this has meant watching hours upon hours of hockey highlight videos across multiple platforms. My algorithm is so truly fucked up now.
RELEVANT WARNINGS: This story involves homophobic comments, sexist comments, comments excusing sexual assault and supporting an assaulter (Dallas Kent), and other general shit comments you might find in the comments of an account that enjoys hockey fights. The character who runs the account also spends some time being a little simple and unenlightened (get it together, Dylan). This vibe does recover but I want to give this warning upfront.
Chapter 1: 2010-2011
Dylan M @dylsonline777 • 13 June 2011
i never know what to post here lol but i learnt some video stuff in my college media course so i made this video of rozanov fighting ppl this season
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a picture taken from a Boston v New York game and shows Ilya Rozanov on the ice, having already dropped his gloves with a smirk on his face, challenging his opponent, New York’s Campbell, to take a swing. The picture has been stretched horizontally slightly to fit the dimensions of the video cover, and Rozanov and his hands are clearly oddly wide and distorted by this stretching. The title of the video is ‘Rozanov Fight Compilation’. The video is a compilation of every fight Rozanov has been in during the 2010-2011 MLH season, his rookie season.]

hey i didnt include it bc rozanov dropped gloves but smyth sort of ignored him hah
Dylan M @dylsonline777 • 9 June 2012
I did this last year so i will do it again…
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a picture taken of Ilya Rozanov in a post-game locker room interview. He has his fisted hands on his hips and he is looking slightly to the side of frame with a flat, annoyed expression. There are no issues with photo quality or dimensions this year, it fits the frame perfectly. The title of the video is ‘Ilya Rozanov Fight Compilation 2011-2012’]

Dylan M @dylsonline777 • 14 June 2012
Someone asked about a version of my Rozanov fight video with all his fights so far so I made one
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is the picture of Ilya Rozanov, shirtless in the locker room, winking at the camera after promising to score 50 goals in his rookie season. The title of the video is ‘Ilya Rozanov Fight Compilation – ALL MLH FIGHTS’]
➤ Dave Russell @davsruss
Hey thanks that was nice of you! I did mean all of them ever but I get that pre MLH footage would be harder to get so this is good.
➤➤ Dylan M@dylsonline777
thanks its good to use these video skills for something since i dropped the media class that taught me them
➤ deep in the house @guysinboston
Hunter looks so exhausted by this kid in that clip from February
➤➤ Dylan M@dylsonline777
a few lipreaders I saw were saying Rozanov was chirping Hunter for already fizzling his career out

Chapter End Notes
Thought I should say that this fic will pick up the pace with time. It is a slow start but it will not always be so few posts per season. We will get into it as we go along – promise ;)
Chapter 3: 2012-2013
Dylan M @dylsonline777 • 27 January 2013
Hammersmith pulling Rozanov off McCane last night! haven’t seen anyone make a vid for this one yet so thought I would
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a slightly pixellated screenshot from the fight itself, in it Ilya Rozanov and Brooklyn’s McCane are mid-fight, they both have one fist tightly wound in each other’s jersey, and are trying to swing their free arm. They are beside the boards but not leaning against them. Both of their helmets, slightly blurred, are flying clear of their heads; McCane’s helmet is nearly at the height of the barrier glass. The video in the link shows that the fight is broken up by Rozanov’s teammate, Brad Hammersmith. The title of the video is ‘Rozanov vs McCane FIGHT – BOS v BKN Jan 26’]
➤ Claude Perrault @claudey56
McCane was gonna win that one
➤➤ Dylan M @dylsonline777
think so yeah tht’s why Hammersmith pulled him out of it I think
➤ radio to base @radiosmash_
I was looking for someone to make this! The way both their helmets go FLYING and McCane’s almost goes over the barriers. Couldn’t believe nobody had posted it yet!!!

Dylan M @dylsonline777 • 2 April 2013
Wow big hit last night
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a still from the game and it shows the moment after impact between Ilya Rozanov and Buffalo’s Pereira near Boston’s defensive line; Rozanov and Pereira both have their skates suspended slightly as their bodies are flung back from each other from the impact of their collision. The video in the link shows Rozanov intercepting Pereira at the line by hip and shouldering him away from the puck after which they both go flying down to the ice. The title of the video is ‘Rozanov LEVELS Pereira in BOS v BUF Game April 1’]
➤ alva queen @alvamcpherson
Is this the only thing you post about now?
➤➤ Dylan M @dylsonline777
it’s fun to make them
➤ RJ Stans Boston @rjgifford
Best thing about Rozanov is he hits like a truck if he has to
➤➤ Eddy Sommerville @salemwizardhunt
Need our defense to step up a bit tho, can’t have Rozanov taking too many of these a game!

Dylan M @dylsonline777 • 10 June 2013
That time of year again
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a still of Ilya Rozanov in a pre-game interview segment where he’s giving an unimpressed expression to a question he has been asked; a moment which got a bit of traction within hockey spaces online earlier in the season. The video is a compilation of all the fights and hard checks that Rozanov has been involved in over the 2012-2013 season. The video is titled ‘Ilya Rozanov Yearly Fight Compilation 2013’]

You’ve probably noticed Ive updated my account name now. I’ve deleted any personal posts I had on here too and will just be using this acct for my videos now for however long I keep making them
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is Ilya Rozanov gesturing to a referee with a falsely innocent expression plastered on his face, while on the other edge of the frame the player he was just fighting looks furious. The video is very long and shows almost every fight and hit he’s been involved during his time in the MLH. The title of the video is ‘Ilya Rozanov ALL MLH Fights – Updated 2013’]

Rozanov in a real mood tonite
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a screenshot from the footage itself, taken moments before the hit; Ilya Rozanov is skating backwards toward Tampa Bay’s Viitanen who has the puck along the boards behind the net. The video is of the hit itself which happened in that night’s Boston v Tampa Bay game. Rozanov charges down centre ice toward Viitanen who is collecting the puck along the back boards. Viitanen catches up to the puck and is steering it along behind the net when Rozanov approaches, turns to skate backwards, and slams into Viitanen backward against the boards. Rozanov bounces off the boards and grabs the puck while Viitanen is knocked to his knees on the ice. The title of the video is ‘Rozanov brings down Viitanen – BOS v TB November 11 2013’]

Late Christmas present from Rozanov and Marlow
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a screenshot from the footage in the video, showing Ilya Rozanov and Cliff Marlow shoulder to shoulder with their backs against the boards. The video shows Ottawa’s Jenkins who is in the corner near the goal line. Boston’s defenders are working between two other Ottawa players around the net while Rozanov comes from down the ice and Marlow comes from across the face of the net to target the previously open Jenkins. Jenkins goes deep toward the boards trying to move out of their range but they both reach him at approximately the same time and sandwich him between them in a heavy thud against the boards. Jenkins loses footing and sprawls to the ice, the impact rolling him back out forward onto the ice, while Rozanov and Marlow end up shoulder to shoulder with backs against the board. They regain their footing and then push off back into the game. The title of the video is ‘MLH - Rozanov and Marlow topple Jenkins – BOS v OTT – December 29 2013’]

Center ice fight last night!
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a screenshot from the footage in the video, showing Ilya Rozanov holding New York’s Frank Zullo at arm’s length while swinging with his other fist, Zullo is on one knee before him ducking the punch. The video itself shows Rozanov and Zullo circling each other at centre ice near the face off circle, they both grab on to fight and are skating in circles while trying to land punches. Rozanov hits the ice on his knees temporarily before swinging them quickly so Zullo is forced to one knee. They are still spinning with this momentum, with Zullo on one knee, when Rozanov lands a swiping punch across Zullo’s helmet. The title of the video is ‘MLH FIGHT – Rozanov v Zullo at Center Ice – BOS v NYA – March 4 2014’]
➤ Braxy 4 Admirals @braxtonpucksit

Watch Shane Hollanders face lol
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover is a screenshot from the video footage and it shows the back of Ilya Rozanov as he skates away from the boards, while Montreal’s Shane Hollander is regaining his footing against the boards with an arm slung out for balance and a furious expression on his face. The video itself shows Hollander skating cleanly through the offensive zone, providing a passing option for Montreal’s Hayden Pike who is moving after a stray puck that is rebounding off the rear boards diagonal to the net. Rozanov has broken free of the defence and is after Hollander and Pike; he gets to Hollander as he takes the puck in the curve of the corner. Rozanov comes at Hollander sideways, shoving Hollander face-first into the glass. Rozanov skates straight off as though he barely even noticed him there, while Hollander scrabbles for purchase on the ice, an arm slung out over the lower capping of the boards for balance. The expression on Hollander’s face is objectively hilarious – he looks infuriated. The title of the video is ‘ROZANOV v HOLLANDER heavy board check – BOS v MTL - MLH Conference Final Playoffs – May 22 2014’]

[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is a photoshopped image of Ilya Rozanov cut from a professional Boston Bears promotional shoot, the photoshop work is okay but clearly done by someone who has only recently learned how to use the software. Rozanov is superimposed over a background of the empty Bears’ rink and there is large red text over the cover saying ‘ROZANOV FIGHT COMPILATION 2013-2014 SEASON’. The video is a compilation of all the fights and most of the hardest checks Rozanov has been involved in over the 2013-14 season. The video is titled ‘Ilya Rozanov Yearly Fight Compilation 2013-2014 Season’]

Rozanov is speaking into the microphone on the stage with his MVP trophy held tightly in his right hand, slightly lifted above the speaking lectern. The look on his face is triumphant.]

[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover is a photoshopped image of Ilya Rozanov landing a punch on New York’s Frank Zullo over a background of the empty Boston Bears home ice. Above the image of Rozanov and Zullo is red text saying ‘ALL ROZANOV MLH FIGHTS 2010-2014’. The photoshop work is only mildly better than the last attempt. The video is long and shows every fight that Rozanov has been involved in during his time in the MLH. This year there are no hits included, only fights, as the video is getting too long to include both. The title of the video is ‘Ilya Rozanov ALL MLH Fights – 2014 Update’]

Rozanov accepts Ilieva’s invitation to down gloves, BOS v WSH
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Washington’s Ilieva are crouched over the face off circle. Ilieva is mic’d up and has clearly had it with whatever chirps have been coming his way. As they wait for the puck drop, Ilieva shakes his head forcefully and says, “Do you want to go, Rozanov?” to which Rozanov’s response is short and too muffled to hear in the mic. Ilieva continues, “You want a fucking fight?” to which Rozanov’s answer can be clearly heard to be “Okay. Good luck.”. The puck drops and it is batted away to Washington’s right wing. Rozanov and Ilieva, however, have immediately dropped gloves and are squaring up.]

Hard hit from Langman tonight on Rozanov, BOS v FLA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Florida’s Langman are skating side by side fighting their way to the puck, trading elbows and shoves. Rozanov is the faster skater so he pulls ahead just before reaching the puck and swerving off to manoeuvre it. Langman keeps charging forward to catch Rozanov on the change of direction and shunts him hard into the boards which flips Rozanov off his skates and onto his back on the ground, his stick clattering from his grasp as he goes.]

Rozanov in fine form against LA!
[Video: Los Angeles’ Connolly has the puck on his stick headed toward the goals on a breakaway. Four Boston players are after him, but Ilya Rozanov gets there first. Rozanov slams into Connolly from behind and knocks him off the puck, flying forward, and sending Connolly himself directly toward the net, which he slides into head-first.]

Huge line brawl vs Colorado today!
[Video: The video begins with Boston’s Cliff Marlow and Colorado’s Kilic shucking their gloves in the neutral zone, beside them Colorado’s Vermeulen is on the ground, the result of a hit from Marlow. Boston’s Ryan Carmichael is trying to shepherd Colorado’s Greenaway from the fight with his stick, but Greenaway is pushing back. From behind Carmichael and Greenaway, Colorado’s Sanchez rushes in to lay a hit on Carmichael. Vermeulen manages to pick himself up from off the ground, and is intercepted by Boston’s Connors, which quickly turns to them grabbing each others jerseys and tussling. By now, almost everyone on the ice is engaged in the fight and Ilya Rozanov can be seen within a pack of fighting players slinging an arm around the shoulders of Colorado’s Frome attempting him fling him to the ice. The camera view widens to show everyone on the ice, excluding only the goaltenders, engaged either in the pack or in one-on-one fights on the periphery.]

Always on fire against Montreal!
[Video: Ilya Rozanov has the puck in the offensive zone and is manoeuvring it to avoid Montreal’s Comeau who is directly oncoming. As he turns the puck to pass toward Cliff Marlow, Montreal’s Gagnon swoops in around him and clips his stick with his skates. The stick breaks in two and clatters across the ice. This gives the puck over to Gagnon who drives down the wing. Rozanov skates furiously in pursuit of Gagnon, without a stick, and comes up alongside him just ahead of the blue line, where he pushes out to shove Gagnon’s shoulders, sending Gagnon hard into the boards with the force of the push taking Rozanov into the boards with him. They slide along the boards for a few feet before both getting up on their skates, throwing off their gloves, and exchanging punches against the glass.]

Anyone else watching this live? Could’ve been a bad one.
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is driving down centre ice with the puck on his stick as Ottawa’s defenceman Berzina moves into his path. Rozanov doesn’t have time to change direction and Berzina drops a shoulder as Rozanov makes contact, unable to slow down. The speed and height of the hit causes Rozanov to be flung over Berzina’s shoulder in essentially a front flip. Rozanov manages to get a forearm down onto the ice before his head and push a little to allow himself to land on his back. The fall has clearly winded him as he slides, slightly hunched over, along the ice for a bit before getting to his feet.]

Rozanov can’t quite be bothered with these rookies in OT tonight.
[Video: Ilya Rozanov hip checks Carolina rookie Lalonde who responds by turning around and trying to engage in a fight. Lalonde tries to grab at Rozanov’s jersey, but Rozanov bats him off and pushes him backward neatly with one arm. Rozanov is then off sharply after the puck, hunting down a goal in overtime. Lalonde can be seen yelling something after Rozanov, clearly enraged by the brush off.]

Here it is everyone, the Ilya Rozanov fights and hits compilation for the 2014-2015 MLH season.
[Link to YouTube video: The photo cover for the video is now the standard photo cover on the Ilya Rozanov Fight Compilation YouTube Channel for this and all previous year’s videos, which is a plain ice background with an overlaid cut-out image of Ilya Rozanov from a game during the season that corresponds to the video. There is bold red text on the photo cover reading ‘ROZANOV FIGHT COMPILATION 2014-2015’. The video is titled ‘Ilya Rozanov Fights & Hits Compilation MLH 2014-2015’. The video is a fairly lengthy compilation of every fight and every impressive hit that Ilya Rozanov has been involved in during the 2014-2015 season, including the front flip hit that was a semi-popular GIF in online hockey spaces during March and April.]

The Rozanov image gracing the front of this video is him flinging off a glove in a match from the 2014-15 season. There is bold red text on the photo cover reading ‘ROZANOV ALL MLH FIGHTS 2010-2015’. The video is titled ‘Ilya Rozanov ALL MLH Fights Compilation 2010-2015’. The video is a lengthy compilation, now well over half an hour long, of every fight that Rozanov has been in during his MLH career.]

That’s going to be expensive at the dentist. #MLH #BOSvWPG
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Winnipeg’s Nikolaisen have hands twisted in each other’s jerseys and fists swinging toward each other’s faces near an end zone face-off circle. Nobody else seems to be near them on the ice, except for a referee who is distantly circling them. Nikolaisen manages to pop Rozanov’s helmet off after a few moments of struggle between them and after Rozanov manages to shove them both backward toward the boards, Nikolaisen lands a sharp punch across Rozanov’s mouth. Rozanov swings an arm wildly back and manages to headlock and push Nikolaisen to the ground. The referee shoots in to split them up, at which point the camera zooms in on the blood coming from Rozanov’s mouth. He is missing a tooth.]

A Connors and Rozanov double pisses off Pike #BOSvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Hayden Pike has the puck in the neutral zone looking for a passing opportunity. Boston’s Connors comes at him from behind at pace to shoulder him off the play. The impact sends Connors flying backward while Pike manages to jump with the hit and stay on his feet. The puck has drifted forward just in front of Pike, who moves to get it on his stick again, only to have Ilya Rozanov dive in and slap his stick away before they both collide heavily head-on. A deep shoulder from Rozanov sends Pike sprawling backward onto the ice. Pike scrambles to his feet as Connors, who is also back in action, approaches again. Pike takes a swing at him.]

Quick fight from last nights game. #BOSvNYA
[Video: A group of Boston Bears and New York Admirals players are seen along the boards near the end zone face-off circle. The vision shows most of the players break off as New York’s Scott Hunter regains the puck and is chased down the ice by a Boston defenceman, with others in pursuit. The camera then snaps back to the boards where Ilya Rozanov is still with New York's Carter Vaughan. Vaughan has thrown off his gloves already and Rozanov’s are coming off as the feed returns to them. Vaughan has Rozanov pinned against the boards and lands a solid hit across his helmet, Rozanov pushes away and attempts to get a grip on Vaughan’s jersey but doesn’t manage to before Vaughan gets another hit in. Rozanov hits the ice on his knees but manages to drag Vaughan down with him. The referees intervene and they both separate without much encouragement.]

A Rozanov v Hollander classic. #BOSvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Shane Hollander has the puck coming through the neutral zone past the half-wall of the Boston players’ bench. Ilya Rozanov moves across in front of him and they meet against the boards at a 45-degree angle. Rozanov widens his stance and drops a shoulder as he reaches Hollander and slams him into the boards. Because they are only half-boards, this throws Hollander sideways over the boards themselves into the Boston bench area. Hollander manages to catch himself with his knees on the board edge to stop himself fully falling into the Boston players’ area, while Rozanov comes up behind him and tries to nudge his legs to have him fall the rest of the way in. Several players on the Boston bench lean over to knock Hollander on the helmet until he manages to kick off Rozanov and push his way backward and to his feet on the ice.]

Lots of rotations on center ice in Pittsburgh. #BOSvPIT
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Pittsburgh’s Long have each other at arm’s length, engaged in a fight at centre ice. They spin a few times, hands grasped in each other’s jerseys, trying to land punches until Long gets a good grasp on Rozanov’s collar and throws a wild punch. Rozanov ducks, they re-engage, and Rozanov manages to shove Long to his knees. Long grabs at Rozanov’s jersey sleeve until Rozanov is also one-knee down on the ice. The referees move in to break it up and they are both eventually separated.]

New Year, New Hollander Hit #BOSvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Shane Hollander has the puck on his stick deep in the offensive zone, coming around toward the net and looking for a pass off opportunity. Ilya Rozanov zones in from centre ice and moves across, shifting his weight firmly to his outside leg to hip and shoulder Hollander who is coming at him front-on. Hollander is immediately swept off his skates and basically goes horizontal before clattering to the ice and landing on his ass.]

The only interesting moment from this game was really the blowout scoreline. #BOSvBUF
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Buffalo’s McBeath have dropped their gloves and are slowly circling each other, still well separated physically, near the goals. Buffalo’s goalie is watching on, standing firmly in the net. McBeath skates backward toward the blue line and Rozanov follows after him leisurely, throwing his hands out in a ‘well are we going to fight?’ sort of motion. They engage and push and pull each other around a bit with a few lazy punches thrown but both seem a little disinterested, perhaps because it’s deep in the third period and the scoreline is 5-1 in Boston’s favour.]

Threw him off the play in style #BOSvVAN
[Video: A group of three Boston and Vancouver players are battling for the puck against the boards as a fourth player, Vancouver’s Desjardins, moves in to join the fray. Ilya Rozanov is coming up from the blue line toward the group. To stop Desjardins from evening the numbers on the boards, Rozanov slides in sideways at the back of the group and throws out a forearm to move Desjardins away from the play. Desjardins and Rozanov both go skittling to the ice as Boston’s St-Simon gets the puck concurrent with the referee’s whistle blowing.]

Anaheim time. #BOSvANA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Anaheim’s Mitchell are engaged in a fight in the offensive zone, as the camera pans to the fairly stalemate fight between them where both are trading fairly equal punches, it is clear to see Anaheim’s goalie standing off to the side with a blank expression, and the remainder of the Boston and Anaheim players buddied up watching on. The fight is fairly long as Rozanov and Mitchell move across the offensive zone pushing and shoving at each other and trading fists; eventually, they both go down on the ice and the referees intervene.]

[Video: A close-up shot shows Ilya Rozanov standing side-on to a game referee. What they are saying can’t be heard, but it is clear that Rozanov is arguing over a call. The referee is making pointed finger motions and clearly explaining why he has called the penalty, to which Rozanov is scowling in disagreement, nose scrunched up with disdain, every now and then shaking his head and interrupting with an over-exaggerated shrug as he tries to argue his way out of it.]

Rozanov downs Collier on the ice in Philly and gets words from Jones on the bench after. #BOSvPHI
[Video: Ilya Rozanov takes a swing at Philadelphia’s Collier who goes down to the ice. To prevent him getting up and fighting back again, Rozanov pins him to the ground and Collier pushes back aggressively. Rozanov moves to wedge a knee into his thigh to stop his push back as a referee skates over and begins motioning for Rozanov to let go. Rozanov lets go and is quickly back to his feet, raising his hands innocently to the referee. The video cuts to a few moments later, Rozanov is back on the Boston bench next to Hammersmith when Philadelphia’s Jones skates over to say something angrily to Rozanov. Rozanov looks unbothered by the threats and shrugs as Jones skates off.]

Behind him Ilya Rozanov moves at full speed and gets positioned, hip checking him with force. Neto tumbles over Rozanov’s back and clatters down to the ice behind him. Neto slides along while Rozanov is after him, saying something that cannot be picked up by the cameras and appearing to want to goad Neto into a fight.]

Sorry I missed a few big hits and some fights lately, there’s been a bunch and I’ve been really busy. Have this one from Edmonton today for you though!
[Video: Edmonton’s Swain checks Ilya Rozanov lightly into the boards shoulder to shoulder. They both hit the boards front on and would easily be able to skate it off, but Rozanov takes issue with the perfectly clean hit. He gestures and goads Swain who ignores him at first but then turns around and engages. They both shuck their gloves and throw punches until Swain hits the ice. The referees are in to break them up and Rozanov shoves roughly off Swain’s shoulder as he gets back to his feet.]

Hollander sends the puck back to Rozanov who quickly has it back to Hollander, who shoots it cleanly into the top corner of the net. Hollander raises his arm in celebration and Rozanov immediately embraces him and lands a firm kiss on Hollander’s cheek. Hollander startles and laughs and Rozanov says something, shrugs, and thumps Hollander on the back before skating away.]

Not sure if this counts as a fight but Rozanov getting into it with the medics after Marlow’s hit on Hollander? #BOSvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Shane Hollander is lying prone and seemingly unconscious on the ice during the Boston v Montreal game. In the background of the camera shot, Montreal’s Hayden Pike can be seen in a gloves-down fight with Boston’s Cliff Marlow; anyone who watched live knows this is because it was Marlow’s hit on Hollander that has him down on the ice. Ilya Rozanov can be seen standing over Hollander sometimes in the way of medical staff who are on the ice and are moving around Hollander working to get him strapped into a spinal board. One of the medics keeps looking back, annoyed, at Rozanov and giving an instruction which Rozanov is ignoring. Rozanov moves even closer again and seems to be agitated at the medical staff, asking questions and frustrating them. One of the medical staff motions authoritatively for him to move back and when he does not comply, nods a referee over to remove Rozanov from the area.]

[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Colorado’s Kopecký are exchanging words in the neutral zone. Rozanov is leisurely skating backward chirping at Kopecký with an amused expression. Kopecký is moving forward toward him responding to Rozanov’s chirps. Without much warning, Boston’s young defender Bailey, seeming to want to make a point of himself, comes up behind Kopecký and pushes him off toward the boards. Kopecký wheels around on Bailey and they drop gloves. Rozanov, who looks disgruntled at having the fight taken away from him, knocks Colorado’s Kulakov, who is moving in to join the fray, with his stick and then takes off after him. Kulakov makes impact with Bailey and Kopecký as Rozanov catches him, and the group end up in a four-way fight which is broken up by the refs when Bailey and Rozanov get either side of Kopecký and throw him down to the ice.]

Everyone piles on! #BOSvBKN
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is driving the puck down into the end zone with Brooklyn’s Alfano coming toward him. Alfano slaps at Rozanov’s stick and, when that doesn’t disrupt him, crouches and drops his shoulder to catch Rozanov in the stomach. Rozanov rolls over Alfano’s back and is flung head-first forward as they slide toward the boards. Rozanov and Alfano both hit the boards hard, skates tangled. As they slide, Rozanov flings a hand out in retaliation toward Alfano’s face and when Alfano regains footing and attempts to move away, Boston’s Carmichael slides in to shove him back into the boards. Brooklyn’s Hyder arrives and, with Carmichael and Alfano busy with each other, goes for Rozanov by trying to jump on his back before he’s standing. Very quickly, six other players are converging on the area and piling onto the fight until the only players not engaged in the dog pile are the two goalies.]

Rozanov and Mitlo really aren’t getting along this season.#BOSvCBS
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is saying something and gesturing impatiently at Columbus’ Mitlo who is pushing Rozanov backward away from him, getting Rozanov out of his face. After a few of these pushes, with Rozanov not backing off, Mitlo shoves Rozanov with both hands and drops his gloves. Rozanov matches him and also drops his gloves. They grapple for a bit and Mitlo manages to drag Rozanov’s jersey over his head and dislodge his helmet before they seem to come to a stalemate and the referees intervene.]

[Video: Florida winger Franklyn has the puck on his stick and is manoeuvring around the blue line in an attempt to keep Boston’s Cliff Marlow at bay as he is right on Franklyn’s side throwing his stick at the puck to intercept. Franklyn turns and Marlow comes around him, which blinds Franklyn at the very last moment to Ilya Rozanov who is oncoming. When Franklyn exits the turn and looks to drive forward he is bent over and met by an upright Rozanov. Rozanov braces for the impact and sends Franklyn into a heap on the ice. Franklyn slaps his stick on the ground in frustration but is up straight away.]

[Video: Ilya Rozanov switches with teammates on a line change and hops over the half-boards onto the ice. As soon as he does so, Carolina’s Russo comes swerving over, pulling up ahead of Rozanov and nodding. Russo removes a glove which is met by Rozanov removing both of his. Russo quickly flings off his other glove and lunges for Rozanov. The impact moves them backward toward the Boston bench, where the players are remaining out of the fight but are clearly yelling insults at Russo. Russo, who is notably shorter than Rozanov, looks a little out of his depth but holds his own reasonably well until they are pulled apart by the refs.]

Party in Montreal #BOSvMTL
[Video: The puck is hit in close to the net where at least 5 players, 3 Montreal and 2 Boston are crowding the net while Montreal’s goalie Patrice Drapeau is trying to cover space tucked in behind the crowd of players. There is scrambling and pushing until Ilya Rozanov pumps a fist in the air and the Boston players break away in celebration; a very close-range goal has been scored. Montreal’s Gilbert Comeau has taken exception to whatever pushing was going on by the net from Rozanov pre-goal, however, and has shoved a forearm out to fling Rozanov back toward the net. A group fight between the tightly packed players around the net breaks out. Rozanov pushes off the net and throws off his gloves to go straight for Comeau at the back of the pack of fighters. It takes over a minute for the referees to break up the large group of fighting players.]

That’s Hollander taken care of. #BOSvMTL
[Video: Shane Hollander is crossing the centre line with the puck on his stick shifting it side to side. Ilya Rozanov slides around in front of him, reaching with stick out for the puck, just leisurely, as though testing. Hollander glances over and sees him coming, carefully directing the puck aside to avoid the tap and deftly adjusting ready to pass to Montreal’s J.J. Boiziau. Hollander is slightly crouched to keep this control and Rozanov, still moving around in front of him matches the crouch and skates backward into Hollander, shifting his weight backward into the hit to bounce Hollander off his back. Hollander manages to get the pass off, but the hit sends him falling backward, his stick coming loose from his grip and skittering out toward centre ice.]

A bit outside my regular sort of posts, but can’t ignore this bench moment. #BOSvTB
[Video: Cliff Marlow sits beside Ilya Rozanov on the Boston players’ bench. Marlow is clearly unhappy with his stick and he’s pushing down on it behind the barrier. Rozanov looks over at him, shakes his head, and makes a gesture toward the row of sticks against the back of the bench area. Marlow doesn’t pay attention to this, leaning over to closer inspect whatever he is unhappy with on his stick and twisting it sideways. The twist suddenly breaks the stick which cracks in Marlow’s hand. There is a second of surprise where Marlow and Rozanov are both just staring at the stick, before Marlow fully comes to terms with what has happened, clearly swears loudly, and clatters the stick against the rear barrier glass. Rozanov makes him go pick it up and dispose of it more tidily, as other members of the bench are laughing.]
➤ Boston Tea Pirate @teapirateheist
MLH App commentary on this was great. “And Rozanov is saying, you won’t be leaving that lying around in my house. Makes Marlow go pick it up. What’s he going to do with it? He’s looking back at Rozanov. He’s asking, hey Captain, how would you like this recycled?”

Rolling in the deep. #BOSvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov has the puck along the boards behind the net. Montreal’s Shane Hollander comes in from around the other side of the net and pushes Rozanov up against the boards, fighting for the puck at their feet. Rozanov slings Hollander backward with a forceful forearm, but the puck gets knocked backward by Hollander’s swinging skate blade. Rozanov follows the direction of movement which places him chest to chest with Hollander against the boards as they fight for the puck again, until Hollander manages to push Rozanov backward along the boards again and make to move forward for the puck. Rozanov also pushes forward catching Hollander’s hip and shunting him against the boards again. This struggle continues along the back of the boards with both of them alternating shoving at each other, ultimately rolling bit by bit from one side of the rear boards to the other, until Hollander manages to kick the puck out toward Montreal’s Hayden Pike, who is then set upon by Boston’s Victor St-Simon.]

Rozanov gets a new agent at tonight’s post-game interviews. #BOSvTOR
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is in front of several microphones at a post-game interview. He is being asked about contract negotiations and rising speculation over why he has yet to confirm if he will re-sign with Boston. An interviewer asks him what contract negotiations are looking like, and he shrugs and responds that they will need to ask his agent. The interviewer pushes on saying that it looks as if things aren’t going as expected, without confirmation of an agreement with the Bears. Rozanov tilts his head as though this is news to him and asks, “Ah, are you my agent?” The interviewer flusters slightly but confirms, no, they are not his agent, that’s just what it seems like, that’s just what people are saying. “I am just asking,” says the interviewer, to which Rozanov replies, “Do you want to be my agent? Is this it? Do you need new job?”]

My last video with the post-game interview was really popular so I think next year I’ll post more things like that! Since we’re out of the playoffs now though, I’ll do these famous #throwback interviews instead.
[Video: A compilation of some of Ilya Rozanov’s most iconic interview moments. The video begins with Rozanov being interviewed ahead of his rookie season; he is young, nineteen, and most people following hockey at the time will remember the interview. The interviewer is asking him about how he feels his first season with the Bears will go, to which Rozanov replies that they will be happy with him as he will score them fifty goals. The interviewer is stunned and asks, “Fifty goals?” to which Rozanov replies, “Yes. By end of February.” Sensing an opportunity the interviewer presses as to whether Rozanov feels pressure to outperform the second draft pick, Shane Hollander, in both of their first season, to which Rozanov asks, “Who?”. The compilation also includes a post-game locker room interview later during Rozanov’s rookie season; he is being asked whether he is looking forward to beating Shane Hollander in Montreal, to which Rozanov asks “Uh, he is goalie now, yes?”. Another interviewer asks him if he still feels he will reach forty goals. Rozanov quickly corrects that he never said forty goals, he said fifty. He winks at the camera before walking off.]

No idea what provoked this but Donaldson wasn’t letting it go. #OTTvMIN
[Video: Minnesota’s Donaldson is seen shouting and gesturing at Ottawa's Ilya Rozanov from across the blue line while play carries on in the end zone. Rozanov turns on his skates to face him and Donaldson throws off his gloves. Rozanov flings his stick down and flicks off his gloves behind him as he advances toward the blue line and toward the lazy approach of Donaldson. They drift over to centre ice slowly until Donaldson throws a wild first punch that Rozanov ducks before taking hold of Donaldson’s jersey at the neck. They trade punches for a while until the referees come over to separate them.]

Looks like Montreal games will still bring the heat even from Ottawa #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is battling Montreal’s Shane Hollander for the puck along the side boards. They each manage to secure it temporarily a few times, before Hollander looks to have it under control with Rozanov’s stick impeded by Hollander’s outside leg. Rozanov shifts his stick position to inside Hollander’s leg and in the flurry of sticks and skates that results, it’s a surprise when Hollander loses an edge and goes crashing to the ice. Hollander looks up toward the referee as though expecting a penalty call and then, when the call doesn’t come, looks with clear annoyance between the ref and Rozanov. Hollander is then clearly accusing Rozanov of some sort of infraction as he gets back to his feet, while Rozanov is evidently denying it. Hollander gets up in Rozanov’s face and jabs him with a sharp finger to the chest once, twice, which seems to amuse Rozanov. In the background, the Montreal home crowd can be seen screaming and gesturing with anger toward Rozanov.]

[Video: Montreal’s Hayden Pike makes a shot on goal which misses the post. The puck hits the boards and there is a group scuffle over it deep in the offensive zone. Off the play, Ilya Rozanov is skating slowly after Pike, who is hovering back from the group on the puck, waiting to see who will end up getting it free. Rozanov is clearly saying something to Pike about the missed shot. Pike looks over his shoulder with a furious expression and says something back to Rozanov, who laughs and sticks his tongue out at Pike suggestively. Pike throws his gloves off immediately, before he’s even fully turned to Rozanov, and lands a punch right on Rozanov’s cheek under his visor.]

Rozanov and Hollander starting a charity together. Pretty surprising news from today’s press conference.
[Video: Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov sit side by side at a press conference. Hollander begins talking and explains that he and Rozanov respect each other as players and individuals after many years of playing together, and that they are friends off the ice. Murmurs arise briefly in the room before Hollander repeats what he has said in French. Hollander then continues in English again to say that they will, together, be starting the Irina Foundation, a charitable organisation raising money for depression and other mental illnesses. He then repeats in French again. Rozanov then clears his throat and explains that he will only be saying his part in English, which garners laughs from the gathered journalists. Rozanov goes on to talk about his mother and how she battled and lost her battle with depression; during this, when Rozanov looks as though he is struggling to keep talking, Hollander puts a gentle hand on his forearm in support. The conference ends with Hollander explaining about the Montreal and Ottawa based hockey camps they will run in the summer to raise funds, and announcing Hollander’s mother, Yuna Hollander, as the director of the foundation.]

Rozanov might not have any friends left in Boston, but maybe he has one in Toronto. #OTTvTOR
[Video: Ilya Rozanov has the puck through the neutral zone and is looking for a passing opportunity. To either side of him Toronto’s Dallas Kent and Ryan Price are making ground. Rozanov moves right to avoid them, looking to move behind Price to reach clear ice on the wing. Unfortunately, Price has already eased up to account for Kent, and this move puts him beside Rozanov’s shoulder as Kent comes up on Rozanov’s back. Kent and Price make contact with Rozanov at the same time, clearing his feet from underneath him and sending him to the ice. Kent moves off in pursuit of the puck, but Price taps Rozanov’s skittering stick with his blade to stop it from sliding further away before he skates off himself. Rozanov is able to grab his stick quickly when he gets back to his feet.]

Doing circles tonight in Nashville. #OTTvNSH
[Video: Nashville’s Dorey can be seen slapping the puck away in frustration after a penalty call on a Nashville defender. Ilya Rozanov skates by him and the camera feed changes to a view of the Ottawa bench where there’s movement as they swap players for the power play. Suddenly the feed cuts back to Rozanov and Dorey who are circling each other with gloves off in the offensive zone, they circle around a number of times and fake each other out once or twice before Dorey lunges at Rozanov, who jerks them backward. Dorey missteps on the pull and loses footing, falling face-first to the ice with Rozanov holding him down there until the refs come to pull them apart. When Dorey is assisted up by the ref, it can be seen that the face-first fall has chipped two of his teeth.]

Rozanov spots him but has no passing options, so tries to dodge him by shifting his weight backward. Marlow is on him quickly though and comes in with a big hip and shoulder which sends Rozanov flipping sideways onto the ice, his stick flying in the air and landing near the blue line.]

Anaheim consider throwing away their power play to fight Rozanov. #OTTvANA
[Video: The puck is being passed back and forth between Anaheim players during an Anaheim power play. Ilya Rozanov is screening near the goals with Ottawa defenceman Nick Chouinard who is behind him alongside their goalie protecting the net. Anaheim’s Tweedie drives the puck hard to Anaheim’s Stolt by the net, who tries to slip it past the Ottawa defence. He cannot get it past the goalie and the whistle sounds from the ref. Stolt pushes at Rozanov, who has skated in beside Chouinard following the stop of play and Rozanov gives him an elbow back. From the right face-off circle, Tweedie skates in to slam against the other side of Rozanov, saying something to him as he does, and Rozanov shoulders him back. There is a bit of general shoving and shoulder checking between all three of them until Stolt attempts to throw an arm around Rozanov to get him in a headlock, and Tweedie pulls him off and motions to him to cool it.]

Ilya Rozanov moves diagonally across to cover him as he comes around the net with Rozanov in front and Trifunov trying to find space behind. As they come around the back, Rozanov pulls up and sends his weight backward into Trifunov, who is now directly behind him. Trifunov flings off the check sideways, lands on his knees, and slides into the boards backwards at speed.]

Rozanov post-game in Detroit tonight speaking on the Centaurs losing streak. #OTTvDET
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is in his game day suit at post-match press. He is giving a very dry look to a journalist who is asking him if he, as Captain, is frustrated at the very low scoring run of the Centaurs recently, given they are on an extended losing streak. This is the nth time Rozanov has been asked a variation of this question recently. Rozanov leans slightly toward the microphone with the look of someone watching paint dry, “No, I love this. Obviously,” he says, and then follows with relentless sarcasm, “I had forgotten what you need to win games of hockey. But you say it is goals – thank you, maybe we will try that.”]

The clips include Rozanov saying something to him while passing him by on the Philadelphia bench, chattering after him while lazily following Karaxha on the ice, and very clearly pissing him off while tying him up during a fight between other players. Eventually, in the third period, the video shows Rozanov saying something to Karaxha before passing him by to take the face-off.

Hollander watches Rozanov move in and also keeps swinging in so they are moving toward each other. Both have eyes on each other, moving in, as Rozanov crouches and braces himself to try to hit Hollander low. Hollander matches him and turns his shoulder as they collide, both attempting to shunt the other as hard as possible.

[Video: Ilya Rozanov can be seen getting right up beside New York’s Scott Hunter behind the goals, leaning against his shoulder and clearly saying something right into his ear. Hunter shoves him off, annoyed, and moves to skate off. Rozanov follows him and pushes ahead, sharply turning around to skate backward in front of Hunter, still chirping. The microphones near the broadcast area catch a snippet of what Rozanov is saying about Hunter’s weak constitution before they pass out of microphone range again. Hunter throws his arms out toward Rozanov in a ‘go away’ gesture but Rozanov shrugs at him and makes a rolling motion with both hands that really seems to piss Hunter off. As they pass by a set of mic’s near the benches, Hunter can be heard telling Rozanov that he’s a gigantic fucking asshole.]

[Video: Ottawa’s goalie Wyatt Hayes saves a long-range shot on goal from a Toronto forward. Near the net, Toronto’s Troy Barrett pulls up to check there’s no opportunity to dislodge the puck from Hayes’ pads. Behind Barrett, Ilya Rozanov skates up and gives him a low ‘hurry up, move along’ shove to get him out of the area. Barrett takes offence to this and swings around with a warning fling of his stick toward Rozanov. Rozanov responds by thwacking away Barrett’s stick with his own, which annoys Barrett further. Two hands gripping his stick, Barrett now pushes aggressively at Rozanov who, only holding his stick in one hand, has it thrown backward from the impact. Rozanov rips Barrett’s stick from his hands and throws it to even the score. Barrett gestures at him furiously and they get a few shoves in on each other before they are separated.]

Rozanov with the check and the assist for tonight’s first goal. #OTTvTB
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is moving fast down the ice into the offensive zone. Right beside him fighting for the puck is Tampa Bay’s Ekman, to the side down the wing is Tampa Bay’s Schober and ahead of them Tampa Bay’s goalie. Nobody else from Ottawa is yet in the frame, as Rozanov has got away so quickly with the puck from the other end of the ice. Rozanov moves to take a shot on goal but Ekman manages to extend his stick in time to slow the puck up a little. It bobbles on Ekman’s stick and it looks like he may be able to gain control of it, until Rozanov pushes forward and shoves him backward. Ekman hits the ice and slides toward the boards. Schober is on Rozanov immediately in return and Tampa Bay’s Ashfield is also coming quickly down the ice now. Ottawa’s Zane Boodram comes into the edge of frame just as Ashfield reaches Rozanov who spins on Schober and gets the puck out to Boodram. Boodram takes a shot on the move and slots it in the top corner of the net for a goal.]

Captain v Captain fight. #OTTvSJ
[Video: San Jose’s Long is moving leisurely down the ice with the puck, moving it along his stick and waiting for passing options. Behind him, Ilya Rozanov makes a play with his stick and then shoves forward to knock Long off the puck. Long hits the ice on all fours and spins while trying to right himself. San Jose’s Captain, Batson, comes hard across the ice and shoves his own stick into Rozanov’s hip in retaliation and, when he gets nothing for his trouble, grabs on to his arm to tie him up. The motion of the grab sends them across the ice both tightly gripping the arm Batson had grabbed Rozanov with until they can shake off their gloves. The ensuing fight is vicious and ends up with them both thrown to the ice and spitting blood from behind chipped teeth.]

[Video: Ilya Rozanov hip checks Boston’s Ciornei by the barriers as the puck comes down toward the offensive zone. Ciornei is lifted off his feet and rolls awkwardly in the air off the side of Rozanov’s back and shoulder, clattering down to the ice. Rozanov makes it not much further off the boards before Boston’s Connors is in fast and low to take Rozanov off his feet. Rozanov slides back into the barriers and comes to a stop beside Ciornei, who is just making it back to his feet.]

A big group throwing hands tonight at home against Buffalo. #OTTvBUF
[Video: A group of Ottawa and Buffalo players have all converged in the end zone as Buffalo’s winger looks for a pass in closer to the net. In the group of clustered players, Ilya Rozanov is covering Buffalo’s Jacquet who has just slammed his way past Ottawa’s Tanner Dillon. Rozanov swings his stick out as Jacquet passes, not hitting him, but passing close. This distracts Jacquet from his footwork and his skates come out from under him before he hits the ice. As Jacquet slides forward toward the wall, Rozanov shouts something down to Jacquet with a grin on his face. Jacquet scrambles to his knees and shoves at Rozanov’s shins to unsteady him. Nearby, Ottawa’s Chouinard takes umbrage to this and moves to pull Jacquet up and away. Buffalo’s Barmettler comes over and gets involved. The four all form a tight huddle of fighting as other players move over to join. The group swells to eight players, all either swinging fists or trying to pull other team players out of the fray in headlocks, at which point referees struggle for a half a minute to intervene.]

[Video: A quick-fire montage of Ilya Rozanov and Montreal’s Shane Hollander landing hits on each other in that day’s Montreal v Ottawa game. The video begins with Rozanov launching himself to the left to smash Hollander into the boards in the neutral zone, and includes other highlights of them shoving each other while fighting for the puck, and Rozanov hip and shouldering Hollander into the edge of the Montreal net. The video ends with Rozanov coming up fast behind Hollander for a hit and getting a perfectly timed push back from Hollander that catches Rozanov by surprise and looks to wind him for a second, such that his stick clatters to the ice and it takes him a short moment to grab it back.]

Rozanov is bored in Montreal. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Interviews are being undertaken in the locker room post-game. As is often the case in these situations, Ilya Rozanov is shirtless with his arms crossed and an indifferent expression on his face. A reporter asks him what he thinks makes Montreal, as a team, so dynamic; this question no doubt based on the scoreline of the game which Montreal easily won. In response, Rozanov says “Dyanamic?” and raises an eyebrow, looking annoyingly bemused, “Montreal?”. Rozanov lets out a sharp, amused exhale, as though the thought is a joke to him, “This is most boring team in the League.”]

Marlow taking down Rozanov’s stats in the shootout competition. #AllStarWeekend
[Video: Cliff Marlow has the puck in the one-on-one shootout competition at the MLH All Star Weekend. He is moving it slowly and weaving with it until he is about halfway to the net where he stops, pulls up, and drops his gloves. The crowd starts to murmur with anticipation. Marlow drops his stick next to the puck, then reaches for the bottom of his Eastern Team jersey. He rips his own jersey off to reveal, underneath, that he is wearing another Eastern Team jersey except this time, it has the number 81 and the name ROZANOV across the back. The camera cuts to Rozanov who has a tilted look of amusement on his face but is yelling something at Marlow. Marlow then picks his stick back up and deliberately misses the puck once, twice, three times, before making an incredibly slow and sloppy ‘shot on goal’ that goes well wide of the left post and glacially slides its way to the back boards. The crowd is now screaming. Rozanov is booing Marlow.]

Unfortunately, Colorado’s Gargano is now right in front of him and wrestles the puck off Rozanov’s stick. Before he can move anywhere with it, Rozanov hits him with a rising shoulder check that has Gargano stumbling backward into Ottawa’s Tanner Dillon.]

Pike making an enemy of the Ottawa crowd. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Gagnon is seen recovering the puck from behind the net, passing by Montreal goaltender Patrice Drapeau and passing off leisurely to Montreal’s Gilbert Comeau who is moving up through centre ice. Comeau eases up though when it becomes clear that further up the neutral zone, Montreal’s Hayden Pike has dropped gloves and has a firm grip on Ilya Rozanov’s jersey sleeve. Rozanov responds by throwing his own gloves off and ducking a punch from Pike, while grabbing hold of Pike’s jersey on the opposite arm. Pike lands a few fast but messy hits on Rozanov, who looks to be working to force Pike to the ground instead, before getting frustrated and hitting Pike with a few fists to the stomach. Pike’s helmet is dislodged in the struggle and he worms his way out of the hold slightly to throw a few more punches at Rozanov’s face. Having drifted toward the edge of the ice, Rozanov manages to pin Pike to the boards and is using that to restrict his movements when the referees come over to dislodge them. The Ottawa home crowd is seen in the background shouting at Pike as he moves to the penalty box.]

Rozanov reminds the media how hockey works. #OTTvVAN
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is sitting in a post-game interview in his game day suit; his hair is still slightly wet and dishevelled. An interviewer in the room is asking him about why he thinks the Ottawa Centaurs cannot manage to string together wins and what he thinks is the underlying reason for their loss record this season. Rozanov exhales slowly before answering. “You want me to tell you why we are losing?” he asks, and receives agreement from the reporter in response. Rozanov throws a hand up slightly behind the microphone he is sat at, a dismissive sort of waving motion, “Every week we do this. You ask this same question. The answer is same every week. We don’t score as many goals as the other team. We lose.” after a very brief pause he adds, only a hint away from sounding entirely sarcastic, “That is how hockey works.” Another reporter jumps in to ask, “Rozanov, what do you think the team needs to do to actually get those wins?”. Rozanov blinks at him as though utterly astounded, he leans slightly closer to the microphone while clearly maintaining very firm eye contact with the reporter. He says, slowly, like he is explaining to a child, “Score more goals than the opposition.”]

The video includes a lot of Rozanov chirping LA players about slow skating, unsteady footwork, their level of physical fitness, and whether they need help with their eyesight. In one clip, Rozanov asks LA’s Crivelli if he is lost, because surely LA didn’t actually ask him to take the ice tonight. In another, he pretends he cannot hear LA’s Krajči who is accusing him of a dirty hit on an LA forward. The penultimate clip is Rozanov in a huddle of his teammates, asking them with palpable passion where the goals will be coming from and who will be scoring the goals until he gets fired up answers from all of them.]

The next part of the video includes a sequence from the documentary where Hollander and Rozanov’s achievements are being compared. The next few clips are from a few talking heads in the documentary; Hollander’s parents talking about his early talent, Cliff Marlow talking about the Boston and Montreal rivalry, and Hollander and Rozanov themselves talking about how they respect each other as players.

[Video: Vancouver’s Duchesne is on a breakaway toward the net, being chased down by Ottawa’s Evan Dykstra and Luca Haas. They don’t manage to track him down, but Ottawa’s goalie Wyatt Hayes does narrowly deflect the resulting shot on goal. The players pull up and the wider camera angle changes and focuses in on an altercation at the blue line. Ilya Rozanov has Vancouver’s Ikonen held at range with a fully extended arm and a firm grip on his jersey. Ikonen, a far shorter player with less reach, is scrabbling at Rozanov’s hold with anger and throwing surging punches, most of which aren’t landing. Ikonen manages to shift sharply on his skates, reducing the distance between them and throw a solid punch into Rozanov’s jaw. The hit sends Rozanov to the ice and Ikonen, still caught up in a strong hold, is taken down with him.]

[Video: A group of seven players are all in proximity to each other moving down the ice. Edmonton’s Dedej has the puck on the wing looking for a pass. Dedej spins away from the pressure but spins into the line that Edmonton’s Swain is skating, closely followed by Ottawa’s Nick Chouinard and Ilya Rozanov. This puts Dedej in traffic with Swain, Chouinard and Rozanov, with Ottawa’s Evan Dykstra moving in from behind Dedej. Rozanov hips and shoulders Dedej off the puck as he comes through but now that Dedej and Swain are so close together, they both go down. Swain slides hard into Dykstra who cannot halt his approach in time, and Dykstra follows them down. Chouinard can’t dodge the group of them on both skates and so attempts to go around on his outside leg but loses his edge and slips into the boards. Rozanov himself has made an evasive move that drives him to his knees before he can regain balance.]

[Video: Ottawa’s Troy Barrett and Toronto’s Dallas Kent are engaged in an angry conversation during a stop in play. Barrett moves away from Kent, who is yelling something after him as he pursues him on the ice. Kent does not notice Ilya Rozanov coming straight for him from the side. Rozanov hits Kent hard and Kent is immediately flattened on the ice. Kent, on the ice, gestures wildly to the referees from the ground. Kent’s gesturing and complaining only lasts a few moments before Rozanov is hauling Kent up by his jersey until he is fully standing. Rozanov shakes off the one glove he has left on and punches Kent directly in the face. The referees rush in and Rozanov is issued a game misconduct.]

Rozanov says he got it months ago. The reporter continues on to say that people want him to confirm what type of bird it is. Rozanov responds, “A Canadian doesn’t recognise a common loon?”. Another reporter jumps in here to ask whether Rozanov is a particular fan of loons and whether the tattoo has any particular meaning, at which point Rozanov looks displeased with the conversation again. “Anyone have a hockey question tonight?” he asks instead of answering the question.]

Things were a little unsteady against Tampa Bay. #OTTvTB
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Tampa Bay’s Kovari are battling for the puck coming quick down centre ice. Kovari moves hard right to shift his position which catches the edge of Rozanov’s skate and unsteadies him. Rozanov is driven down to the ice but manages to keep hold of his stick, sliding and turning backward on his knees until he can get up one foot at a time. The motion has propelled him toward the backboards, where the puck is also headed. Rozanov is over to it quickly, with Kovari now in fast pursuit. Kovari meets Rozanov by the boards and manages to glance off the side of an attempted shoulder check from Rozanov. Kovari hits the boards and manages to take Rozanov down with him as he falls. They both hit the ice and the puck escapes from between them, to be picked up by Tampa Bay’s Schober, who drives it into the goal.]

Another one in a record winning streak for Ottawa. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Ottawa’s Evan Dykstra and Nick Chouinard are tracking Montreal’s J.J. Boiziau as he is moving the puck through the neutral zone. Boiziau approaches the blue line and is surrounded in a triangle formation by the three Ottawa players, with nobody to immediately pass to. Boiziau moves to position himself sideways so he can pass the puck to Montreal’s Shane Hollander who is moving through centre ice, but the three Ottawa players have converged. Seeing that he is headed straight for Rozanov, Boiziau moves the puck out wide and crouches to turn side-on to him. Rozanov also rotates, skating backward to move side on. Boiziau and Rozanov meet each other side on and move to hip-check each other, but Rozanov is higher on the check and Boiziau’s counter-check is not enough to be effective. Boiziau falls hard, sideways, to the ice and rotates once before quickly getting to his feet.]

Board bouncing with Kerr. #OTTvDET
[Video: Ilya Rozanov skates in low on Detroit’s Kerr along the boards and gives him a shoulder that tips Kerr’s balance and kicks his legs sideways from beneath him. Rozanov and Kerr both go tumbling to the ice from the momentum, with Kerr bouncing slightly off the boards before hitting the floor. When Kerr gets back up he turns to Rozanov, still lying on the ground, to say something to him before skating off.]

Rozanov is still not popular in the Garden. #OTTvBOS
[Video: Ottawa and Boston players are concentrated around the net in the offensive zone. Through the field of players, Boston’s Proust is moving with the puck and traffic is clearing for a reasonably open shot. Ilya Rozanov is in pursuit of Proust. Rozanov attempts to move on his inside but Proust covers the move and moves the puck out. Rozanov comes low around his body to make a play at the puck on the other side as Proust handles the puck back toward the goal. They are fast approaching the goal now with a good line for the shot for Proust. Rozanov lunges closer to Proust and cannot get around him, so swings his stick around in front, slowing him up and impeding Proust’s own stick movement. Proust is not able to get power behind his resulting shot and the puck moves gently to be swept up by Ottawa’s goalie Wyatt Hayes. Proust yells toward the referee who blows his whistle for a hooking penalty. Rozanov responds by throwing his hands out in frustration, claiming innocence. As Rozanov moves to the penalty box, the faithful Boston crowd can be seen screaming and jeering at him; someone has on a ‘Fuck Rozanov’ jersey.]

Rozanov topples Comeau in Game 6. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is moving after Montreal’s Gilbert Comeau who is looking to take possession of the puck from a chip off the backboards by Montreal’s J.J. Boiziau. Comeau gets low and wide to protect against the hit as he comes in on the puck, and is closely tracked by Rozanov. As the puck hits Comeau’s stick, Rozanov slams into him the boards. Comeau loses the puck and goes down, his legs kicking out sideways and catching Rozanov’s skate. Rozanov crashes down too, landing heavily on Comeau’s legs.]

Aucoin is unhappy with his Holmberg Rozanov sandwich. #OTTvTOR
[Video: Toronto’s Gallichan takes a shot on goal from just outside one of the end zone face-off circles which is saved by Ottawa’s goalie Wyatt Hayes. Toronto’s Aucoin is coming down through centre ice as the shot is made and attempts to hit the puck off Hayes’ pads before he can gain control of it. This gets him nowhere as Hayes has it firmly trapped, but Aucoin continues to move forward until he is all but standing over Hayes right up against the goal posts. Ottawa’s Connor Holmberg moves to encourage Aucoin to get off his goalie, as Hayes is trapped awkwardly against the post now to keep the puck safe. Aucoin shoves at Holmberg, who moves backward to lure Aucoin away from the ice around Hayes. Up behind them, Ottawa Captain Ilya Rozanov skates in to give Aucoin some thoughts about his behaviour toward his players. Aucoin turns to Rozanov, Holmberg forgotten, and grabs for Rozanov’s helmet. Aucoin’s glove pops off as he swipes at Rozanov’s head a second time, at which point Rozanov appears to lose patience with Aucoin. Rozanov flings off his gloves and grabs Aucoin behind his upper arms. They go around twice, three times, in a circle as Rozanov overpowers Aucoin, dislodges his helmet, and then manages to get him to ground. Rozanov stops fighting once Aucoin is down on the ice, but it takes the referees a few long moments to get him to move, as Rozanov can be seen saying something angrily to Aucoin before getting to his feet.]

It seems like Rozanov and Hollander are WHL fans. #OTTvMIN
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are seated at microphones doing post-game media in Minnesota. Off-screen a reporter can be heard saying: “Ilya, you and Shane are obviously blazing a new trail this season being the first ever professional hockey players to be married and playing together on the same team”. Rozanov can be seen shaking his head, while beside him Hollander is lightly frowning. The reporter continues, “What would you-” but is cut off by Rozanov who says, “Not true.”. There is a beat of silence. The reporter asks him what isn’t true, to which Rozanov clarifies “Not the first professional hockey players to be married. Men’s players, yes.” Another beat passes before the reporter laughs carefully, “The first male players, of course, of course, there’s, ah-”. There’s a slight floundering here from the reporter, and Hollander leans in to talk into his microphone, “The WHL are the real trail blazers in this and so many other parts of the game. We aren’t even the second or third married couple on a professional hockey team when you look at the facts. Just the first male players.”]

Trimble reminds Rozanov not to mess with his forwards. #OTTvVEG
[Video: As play is coming fast down the ice, Ilya Rozanov can be seen on the wing landing a big hit on Vegas’ Barentz which sends Barentz face-planting to the ice. The hit is clean but has clearly winded Barentz, which annoys Vegas defender Trimble. Trimble pushes down the ice to come up alongside Rozanov as play slows in the offensive zone. At first, Trimble pulls up to Rozanov’s side and gives him a warning shoulder hit but when Rozanov moves his hands out, Trimble responds to the motion by grabbing Rozanov’s jersey in a tight fist. Trimble throws off one glove, swaps his hold on Rozanov, and throws off the other. Arms still out to the side, Rozanov responds by shaking off both of his gloves and pushing down Trimble’s raised elbow to get a return hold on Trimble’s jersey. They grapple with each other without managing to make a swing until they end up beside the boards. Trimble manages to get an arm free on his non-boarded side and make a few short, sharp hits on Rozanov’s helmet, where he is pinned against the boards. Rozanov eventually manages to shoulder him off slightly, a motion which unsteadies them both and takes them down to the ice. The referees are quickly in to separate them.]

Rozanov and Vasko were getting into it all night on the ice. Here’s a bit of context from the bench. #OTTvNJ
[Video: New Jersey’s Vasko departs the ice after a line change and settles on the bench. He is sitting next to New Jersey’s Desroches who is mic’d up for the game. The mic captures a few short moments of Vasko muttering in annoyance under his breath. Ilya Rozanov slides up against the half-boards beside the New Jersey bench while there is a stoppage in play. Vasko is immediately bothered by this and tells Rozanov, "Just fuck off. Just get the fuck away from me." Rozanov gives a mocking head tilt and rests a glove against the top of the half boards, “You have less to say now there is microphone sitting next to you.” Rozanov says to Vasko. Desroches looks over and says, shaking his head, “Leave me out of this,” and when Rozanov doesn’t move to leave, Desroches adds, “Fuck off.” Rozanov ignores Desroches and gestures to Vasko, "You were so chatty before. So many words to say.” to which Vasko responds, “Fuck off, cocksucker.” Rozanov makes an exaggerated face, “Ah, there’s one of them,” he says to Vasko, and then, “Remind me-” but the rest of what Rozanov says cannot be discerned, as Desroches has slammed his glove over the mic to muffle the conversation.]

They circle each other a few times and Rozanov seems to be egging MacKee on. MacKee is gesturing to Rozanov about something he’s clearly not happy with; their sticks are on the ground but their gloves are still on.

Surprised Dedej didn’t find himself in more trouble for this one tonight. #OTTvEDM
[Video: Ottawa’s Troy Barrett chips the puck off the rear boards ahead of Ilya Rozanov, who moves in pursuit of it. Beside him, Edmonton’s Roussel is attempting to block his path to the puck and cut off the angle of the movement after it comes off the boards. Roussel hits the boards first and Rozanov is quickly in after him, hitting him hard from behind as they fight for the puck. Rozanov manages to manoeuvre sideways to get around Roussel closer to the boards, but is interrupted by Edmonton’s Dedej who comes in hard around the corner along the boards and sandwiches Rozanov between himself, Roussel and the boards. When he regains space, Rozanov hip and shoulders Roussel to the left and there is a flurry of sticks as Rozanov and Dedej battle for the puck. The puck bursts from the contest between them to the right of the goal and is quickly picked up by Ottawa’s Zane Boodram who is pursued around to the front of the goals by Roussel. The whistle sounds sharply, however, as Dedej has thrown his stick across Rozanov’s body behind the goal and jumped at him, tackling him to the ground. They tussle back and forth on the ground a bit until Rozanov pins one of Dedej’s legs and Dedej has a lock grip on one of Rozanov’s arms.]

Rozanov has his say on all the drama around this year’s cancelled All Star Weekend. #OTTvBUF
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is in post-game media after a game against Buffalo. Troy Barrett is with him. A reporter off-screen is asking about the recently-cancelled All Star event, querying “What do you think about the news on the All Star game? About it being cancelled this year for the first time in two decades?” Barrett, who had answered the previous question, looks back and forth before asking, “Is this one for me or Roz?”. The reporter answers that either of them would be fine, and Barrett looks to Rozanov and nods slightly. Rozanov answers, “I think we knew it was coming, yes? By now. Not a surprise to anyone because of all the… problems.” The reporter follows up, “And what do you have to say about those problems? The League is talking about this being a sponsorship issue, but a lot of people are pointing to the qualification and format changes announced in November – which would have disproportionately impacted the Centaurs.” Rozanov gives a crooked grin, “If the League says it is sponsorship issues. It is sponsorship issues.” he says, then continues, “We are having a good run right now. This gives more time to focus on the season. On momentum. This is what we are focused on.” The reporter follows up with, “Is that something you feel about All Star weekends. That they interrupt momentum for you guys when you are looking toward play-off qualification?” Rozanov gives a wry smile to that and says, “The Centaurs have not always been in this position in past years. Maybe it is true,” he shrugs, “I always enjoy All Star weekend. Is good fun. I like to win and show others I am better than them.” To the side of him, Barrett pipes up to ask, “Is that why you lost fastest skater last year?” Rozanov whips his head to Barrett as though he has been utterly betrayed. Rozanov leans into the microphone to say, “It was basically a tie last year.” and then, with exasperation, “Thousandth of a second!”]
➤ generally snippy ○ @generally.snippy
can someone fill me in here why is ASW canceled?
➤➤ League Watch @mlhleaguewatch
Earlier this season the Commissioner’s office announced changes to ASW that covered things like voting, qualification, travel, format, scheduling, location, etc. Lots of stuff. The public reaction was fairly negative. The MLHPA then got involved but it’s not totally clear why. Rumours spread that some players would boycott so ticket sales suffered. Then some sponsors pulled out or threatened to.

Headley tries and fails to turn out of trouble. #OTTvPIT
[Video: Pittsburgh’s Headley is skating across the ice toward the bend in the backboards when he notices that Ilya Rozanov is tracking him from behind and gaining ground. Headley looks behind once, then twice, and then with the boards approaching attempts to change directions to get out of the way of the incoming hit. Unfortunately he turns too late, Rozanov already has him covered and slams him into the barriers.]

Rozanov makes a guest appearance on Hayes’s goalie helmet. #OTTvNYA
[Video: Ottawa’s Wyatt Hayes is sitting on the Ottawa bench during the first intermission of the Pride Night game in Ottawa. His goalie stick can be seen resting to the side of him, with rainbow tape around the handle. Next to Hayes is a member of the commentary team covering the game. The commentator is introducing Hayes and thanking him for his time. Hayes grins and says it’s a pleasure, as normally he is not the one asked to do these. They both share a laugh. The commentator admits that they talk to his teammates more often, but notes that tonight he’s the talk of the arena. “Not easy to achieve,” the commentator points out, “given it’s the first Ottawa Pride Night with a married couple on the team.” Hayes grins and says, “I promise I was not trying to steal their spotlight.” The commentator gestures toward Hayes’ hands and prompts, “Okay, well, we better talk about it then. Your helmet tonight has been going viral online. Maybe if you hold it up to the camera and tell us about what you’ve got there.” Hayes lifts his customised goalie helmet to the camera. It has a bright silver glittery background and is covered in cut-out photos of people. “This is my Pride Night helmet. Here we have Scott Hunter,” he points to a cut-out of Hunter, the Captain of the New York Admirals, their opposition that evening, “I know, I’ve got a lot of chirps for having the other Captain on here but. He deserves an important spot on this helmet. Over here we have Eric Bennett and Ryan Price, this is Troy Barrett here,” he continues to point as he spins the helmet around, “Shane Hollander right on the top, very important because he is the best hockey player in the MLH,” he grins before continuing, “this at the front here is my sister, who is probably a little embarrassed to be there because she doesn’t play in this League, but,” he shrugs and then turns the helmet to the back, “and Cap is here at the back – not really important enough for a better spot.” The commentator nods and motions to the empty spaces on the helmet, “And these spaces?” Hayes taps the helmet, “For the future. For anyone who hasn’t come out yet or will play professional hockey in the future. There’s space for all of you on here.”]

[Video: Montreal’s Hayden Pike takes a shot on goal that is saved by Ottawa’s Wyatt Hayes. Ottawa’s Nick Chouinard and Evan Dykstra converge around Pike to direct him away from the net as Ilya Rozanov pulls up in front of Hayes to provide cover. Montreal’s Lepine skates in from the side and swings fast and low with his stick to smack Rozanov’s stick out of his hand and clear across the ice. The whistle sounds immediately as Lepine is herded up by the referee and sent to the penalty box.]

[Video: A series of clips from the second regular season Ottawa vs Montreal game, played in Montreal. The compilation of clips includes Montreal’s Lepine shoving Ottawa’s Shane Hollander head-first toward the boards, Montreal’s Gilbert Comeau coming over the top with an elbow at Ilya Rozanov, Montreal’s Gagnon high-sticking Ottawa’s Luca Haas, and Montreal’s Ardelean shoving Ottawa’s Troy Barrett by the helmet from behind off the play.]

Even record-breaking games aren’t enough to put the media off the distraction line of questioning. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is seen post-game surrounded by reporters. One has a microphone shoved very close to him and is asking about the impact of personal issues being brought into hockey games. “It’s obvious that personal, off-ice matters are having impacts on games like tonight. What do you think about how much of your private life you now bring to the arena?” the reporter is asking. Rozanov raises a judgemental eyebrow, “I am bringing it to the arena? This arena?” The reporter inches closer, “What I’m saying is that it must be a distraction now that your life on the ice can’t be separated from your life off the ice.” Rozanov frowns, “Who is distracted? Montreal seem distracted. You seem distracted. I am not distracted.” The reporter can be seen shaking their head, “Do you not find it harder now to focus on hockey? To get out there and do your job?” Rozanov shrugs with over-exaggeration, “Of course, I only had four point game against the worst team in the conference tonight. Maybe next time I will focus and have a six point game.”]

Back for more beatings at the Bell Centre. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov lands a heavy forward hit on Montreal’s Gagnon, who was covering him closely down the ice into the offensive zone. Gagnon loses his footing and goes crashing to the ice in front of Rozanov who is caught up for a moment before managing to extract himself and get the puck to Ottawa’s Zane Boodram. Boodram shoots it hard and fast, beating Montreal’s Drapeau at the net for a goal. Boodram skates wide pumping a fist to the crowd to the right while Rozanov moves toward him from the left. They slam into each other behind the net in celebration and Boodram slaps on Rozanov’s helmet in thanks for the assist.]

Back for more beatings at the Bell Centre, Round 2. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Lepine takes a shot on goal that is saved by Ottawa’s goalie Wyatt Hayes. A group of players from both teams converge on the goal as it is unclear where the puck has ended up. Lepine slams Ottawa’s Troy Barrett into the side of the posts and Barrett shoves Lepine off. To the side of them, there is a short tussle between Ilya Rozanov and Montreal’s Gagnon. Montreal’s Comeau is also shoving Rozanov from behind and is bodily forced backward by Ottawa’s Evan Dykstra. Ottawa’s Boyle throws a warning hand out at Lepine and is gathered up by Montreal’s Hendricks. Barrett angrily shoves Lepine backward into the rear boards as Hayes moves to the side to provide clear space for the gathering scrum of players. It is now difficult to tell the group apart as shoves and pushes and intermittent swinging of fists occur in a crush along the backboards between the two teams. After a lull in which Dykstra pushes Gagnon out of the scrum, the smaller group settles for a moment before Comeau throws a stick toward Rozanov that is smacked away by Boyle. There is the clatter of various sticks being raised as the group floats back toward the sideboards while the referees attempt to interrupt the fighting.]

Rozanov hosting his favorite guest. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Hayden Pike is gathering the puck along the curve in the backboards. Ilya Rozanov is moving in quickly from diagonally across the ice. Rozanov catches Pike beside the boards, shifts sideways, and hips and shoulders Pike high into the barriers. Pike loses his skates from underneath him and goes backward down onto the ice. The strange position he lands in means he has to kick off the boards slightly before he can sit back up.]

It’s official. There’s another playoffs run coming up for the Centaurs. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Zane Boodram are seen suited up in post-game media after the fourth and final regular season game against Montreal. They are answering questions about the Ottawa Centaurs having made the playoffs. They both reiterate how the team are focused on finishing out the regular season strongly and will then be looking ahead to the playoffs. Rozanov says the team has what it takes to win a Stanley Cup. Boodram bats away a few questions about last year’s playoffs, commenting only that the only playoffs that matter right now are the ones ahead of them. A reporter asks Rozanov how he feels to know that Montreal cannot qualify for playoffs and will almost certainly finish bottom of their division. Rozanov responds, “I am not thinking about Montreal. I am thinking about my team. Which is better than theirs.”]

It won’t be another Stanley Cup for Hunter. Ottawa are through 4-2 in Game 6. #OTTvNYA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and New York Admiral’s Captain Scott Hunter are battling for the puck in the offensive zone. They are moving down the wing as Hunter gets the puck free and directs it toward the backboards in front of them. Hunter is after it first and takes the puck off the rebound with Rozanov in close pursuit. Rozanov widens his stance to prevent Hunter from moving sideways and momentum carries them both toward the boards. Hunter tries to steer the puck out from between them but is caught by Rozanov who slams him hard into the barriers. Hunter drops across Rozanov into the fall to stall Rozanov from getting away after the puck and they both tumble to their knees on the ice. They both shove each other as they untangle their skates and rise to stand again.]

Chouinard gets some help from his Captain and Alternate. #OTTvWSH
[Video: Ottawa’s Nick Chouinard blocks a pass from Washington’s Andersson which ricochets off Chouinard’s stick onto his right skate. The puck shoots off toward centre ice with multiple players in pursuit, but Chouinard slams awkwardly to the ice. Just behind Chouinard, a strip of silver can be seen on the edge of screen. Chouinard attempts to regain his footing as play begins to move in the opposite direction, with Ottawa having regained the puck, but he slips awkwardly down to one knee. The commentators can be heard saying that it looks like Chouinard has lost his skate blade. Chouinard stays on one knee, pushing with his in-tact skate toward the bench. As play moves through, Ilya Rozanov skates slightly off-course to give a firm two-handed shove to Chouinard’s back to push him toward the bench. It doesn’t quite get him there so bringing up the rear of play, Ottawa’s Zane Boodram gives him a final nudge toward the boards on his way by. This gets Chouinard close enough to grab on to the outstretched hands of Ottawa’s Young and Holmberg on the bench, who pull him through the gate.]

Aucoin has said actively hateful things in the media. Vasko was caught on camera saying homophobic shit. Montreal are all suspect because we know they pushed Hollander out for being gay.

[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Boston’s Lechner are fighting for the puck against the boards. There is a lot of shoving between them and a lot of impact between sticks as well as both of them kicking and moving their skates to try to move the puck away. Rozanov suddenly moves his weight and makes a quick hip movement that unbalances Lechner, who is left behind when Rozanov manages to kick the puck out. Lechner, annoyed, shoves Rozanov before he can move off the boards. Rozanov shoves him back, pushing Lechner’s chest back into the glass. Lechner slams an elbow back and down on Rozanov’s arm as he quickly turns around, clearly keen now for a fight. Rozanov shrugs at him but Lechner drops his gloves and Rozanov follows suit.]

Rozanov and Hollander taking “what’s mine is yours” very seriously. #OTTvMIN
[Video: Shane Hollander is caught up in a crush of Ottawa and Minnesota players after a shot on goal by Minnesota. He loses his stick in the ensuing battle for the puck. Hollander switches to trying to get the puck out with his skate blade, but it is ultimately dislodged from the fray by Ottawa’s Boyle. Hollander, empty-handed, takes off down the wing in pursuit of the puck, shielding a Minnesota player so that Ottawa’s Haas can get the puck on his stick. As Hollander drives past the Ottawa bench Ilya Rozanov slaps his stick down over the edge of the half-wall and Hollander, without really looking, grabs it up as he races by. The video cuts to a few moments later when there is a line change. Hollander jumps the boards while handing the stick back to Rozanov who is heading out the gate behind Ottawa’s Boodram.]

In motion, Ritter very clearly trips Rozanov so that he is pitching dangerously forward as they crash into the boards. The referee’s whistle blows as Rozanov breathes heavily on all fours beside the boards. Ritter is looking down at Rozanov, clearly saying something to him which causes Rozanov to tilt his head sideways toward Ritter and shove out a forceful hand at Ritter’s legs to push him backward. The camera angle changes and it can be seen that the refs have been slow to come move Ritter away as fighting has broken out down the ice between Ottawa’s Barrett and Toronto’s Aucoin, while Ottawa’s Dykstra and Toronto’s Zubkov look close to getting into it as well.]

[Video: Buffalo’s McCord has the puck on the wing and attempts to pass to Buffao’s Dorsey deeper in the offensive zone, but Ottawa’s Holmberg gets around Dorsey to disrupt the pass. The puck jags off Holmberg’s stick and rattles quickly back over the blue line into the neutral zone. Ilya Rozanov who was covering between McCord and Holmberg, races after the puck. Rozanov gets a stick to the puck first despite Buffalo’s Kinn having been near the blue line when the deflection happened. Just past the centre circle Rozanov has already outskated Kinn and is fully on the breakaway. Rozanov drives directly for Buffalo’s goalie, who is facing him down. He shifts the puck side to side on his stick relentlessly until the last second, when he glides left, past the goalie’s outstretched leg, to slot the puck in behind the goalie’s blade and into the net.]

Hollander boring Rozanov post-game. #OTTvVEG
[Video: The video shows a reporter moving through the Ottawa locker room following their game against Las Vegas. Sitting together in front of a stall are Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander. Hollander is still fully padded up and dressed, rotating his right skate back and forth on the back edge of the blade. Rozanov is half undressed with most of his padding off and only his base layer on his upper body; his chain with his and Hollander's rings and his mother's cross is dangling free of the layer. Hollander has an iPad on his lap which he is intently focused on, pointing at something on the screen as Rozanov leans forward and looks with a far more casual expression. The reporter remarks, “Ah, here they are,” as they approach them, “Is this a game tape review after a 5-1 win?”. Hollander startles and looks up, clearly so focused he wasn’t really aware there was a camera in the room. “Yes,” says Rozanov. The reporter laughs, “Do you always celebrate with game tape after a win like that?” they ask, clearly slightly tongue in cheek. “Celebration? No,” says Rozanov, “This is Hollander finding new ways every day to bore me.” Beside him, Hollander huffs a little and rolls his eyes.]

It was a bloody night in Brooklyn. #OTTvBKN
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Brooklyn’s Dowling have each other by the necks of their jerseys and are fighting on the blue line. A series of heavy punches are being thrown by both of them; Rozanov pops off Dowling’s helmet, but Dowling lands a responding blow directly to the gut which has Rozanov temporarily doubled over. A few big swings later and Dowling dislodges Rozanov’s helmet and manages to land a swiping blow across his mouth. A few more heavy blows are traded before Rozanov gets Dowling just below the sternum which he reels back from. Unsteady, Dowling is sent to ground and his grip on Rozanov’s jersey brings Rozanov down with him. The referees move in to separate them.

A few highlights from Rozanov on the mic yesterday. #OTTvANA
[Video: A montage of moments from Ilya Rozanov wearing a microphone at Ottawa’s home game against Anaheim.
The video begins with Rozanov in a cluster of players near the net, with a hand out yelling over to a teammate, “Heads up. Heads up.”
Rozanov resting his stick across his knees gliding down the ice, eyes on play across the ice, “Watch, watch, watch”.
“Forward!” Rozanov breaking into a powerful sprint down the ice.
An Anaheim defender moving off Rozanov and Rozanov watching him leave with confusion, “Okaay, where are you going?”
Rozanov to Anaheim’s second line Centre at the face off, “I run camps in the summer, if you want to learn how to play hockey.”
Rozanov, Zane Boodram, Evan Dykstra and Nick Chouinard screaming and shouting, all jumping against Troy Barrett on the backboards after he has just scored their opening goal.
Rozanov being pushed backward by a referee, “Who is?” he is asking the ref, with a smirk, “I didn’t move anywhere.”
Shane Hollander jumping the boards to skate out for the power play. He and Rozanov circle each other on the side of the ice for a quick moment. “You want one?” Rozanov asks, head tilting toward the goals. “We go get one.” Cut to 50 seconds later, Hollander scores off Rozanov’s assist for Ottawa’s second goal.
Rozanov to Boodram before a face off. “Be ready”. The puck drops, Rozanov battles hard and gets it out to Boodram.
Anaheim’s Tweedie is yelling at Rozanov at a stoppage in play, “What? What? You want to go? No? You not allowed to fight me, dude? Will you be in trouble with Hollander?” A referee approaches Rozanov, who scoffs, “Come up with something different, Tweed. Everybody uses that.” Tweedie leans over the arm of the referee who has bailed him up, “So what? Is it true?” he taunts. Rozanov, being pushed back by the other referee, responds “Come up with something different. I’m bored.”
Rozanov and Boodram on the bench. “Come ON Haasy,” Boodram yells, standing from the bench. “OH!” Boodram sits back down. There is a heavy bleep over the audio. “Thought he had that.”
Wiebe at the back of the Ottawa bench, talking to his team as a line change has players coming in and out. “Playing beautifully boys, good discipline.”
Rozanov to Boodram at a stoppage, “You want left. Left.” Boodram nods, “Yeah, yeah.” Rozanov nods back at Boodram, “Okay. Hard, hard.” Cut to Rozanov and Boodram pushing hard down the ice, Rozanov sends the puck wide left of him and Boodram is onto it, slamming it into the net for Ottawa’s third goal. Rozanov skates in and grabs Boodram by the helmet, “I told you. I told you.” Boodram roars with adrenaline in response.
Rozanov pulling up on sharply in a spray of ice, with an agitated expression, “Chto eto?”
Rozanov on the bench leaning over the boards yelling “Shoot, shoot, shoot,” followed by sequence of bleeps.
Rozanov to Anaheim’s rookie, voice and expression incredulous, "You’re tired? You need a nap?” The rookie is breathing too hard to respond, but makes a pained frown as he gasps with hands on knees.
Rozanov to Barrett during a stoppage, motioning to the Anaheim rookie, “Who is this kid?” Barrett shrugs.
Rozanov on the bench getting to his feet, gripping the top of the half-boards in anticipation. “YES HOLLANDER!” as Hollander scores Ottawa’s fourth goal.
Leaving the ice at the end of play. Rozanov to Anaheim’s second line Centre, referencing his earlier chirp, “See you in the summer.”]

WOW! Hollander has dropped gloves with Comeau! #OTTvMTL
[Video: Shane Hollander is pinned against the backboards by Montreal’s Gilbert Comeau. They are ostensibly battling for the puck but mostly Comeau is shoving Hollander. Hollander kicks the puck free but Comeau does not come off him. It is clear that Comeau is saying something to Hollander. Hollander shoves hard with a shoulder back against Comeau who, not having anticipated it, is rocked sideways slightly. Hollander turns quickly and slings an arm around Comeau’s neck to steady him, and then shakes off his glove and grabs Comeau’s jersey tightly in his other fist. Comeau rears his head back, clearly incensed, removes his own gloves, and throws a punch toward Hollander, who is still mostly trapped against the boards. Hollander releases the arm around Comeau’s neck to drop his other glove and swing four quick and sharp punches at Comeau, who twists and ducks sideways to the boards to try to avoid them. Once steadied, Comeau throws another punch back, throwing off Hollander’s helmet. Comeau lands punches to Hollander’s stomach and sides as they grapple, and Hollander then manages a few hits to Comeau’s shoulder and head. Comeau pushes Hollander back against the boards again. They trade fairly even punches for a while until they are both listing slightly, looking worse for wear, and the referees slide in to pull them apart.]

Rozanov wants a shot at Comeau, too. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Gilbert Comeau is moving toward the puck past the goal line near the boards. Ilya Rozanov is coming in fast through the right-hand face off circle and launches himself sideways at Comeau. Comeau is slammed backward hard into the corner barriers and slides off down to the ice. Rozanov has steadied himself on one blade with a hand to the glass and stays upright standing over Comeau. Comeau on the ground slashes his stick at Rozanov’s legs. Rozanov gestures at Comeau as he moves backward from the hit, giving Comeau room to get to his feet. Comeau removes his gloves on his way up, quickly followed by Rozanov doing the same. They skate backward and circle each other a few times before Rozanov grabs Comeau hard and starts laying hits on him. Comeau gets two return punches in before Rozanov has him forced down on to the ice with a knee on his back.]

The suits are really getting out of control now. #OTTvSEA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Zane Boodram are in suits doing post-game press following Ottawa’s game against Seattle. Rozanov is wearing a glittering silver suit which has noticeably oversized shoulder pads, making his shoulders look even wider than they naturally are; it has a black and gold cape attached to and draping around one shoulder. The neckline is very high and has a lot of buttons. On his head is a fur hat that might look traditionally Russian if not for the speckled black feathers attached to it. Next to Rozanov, Boodram is wearing a lurid rainbow suit with stripes of neon rainbow colours that bleed into each other and change directions. He has a large plastic gold crown on his head with a lot of small stick-on rhinestones in different colours. Boodram semi-regularly during the interview brings out a large pocket-watch from his chest pocket and checks the time. Despite the strange outfits, the video is otherwise comprised of typical post-game discussion.]

➤➤➤➤ Unaccountable Stick Handling @impossiblehockeymoves
LOL it’s not that tho, there’s a comment from @mlhleaguewatch in this thread explaining what’s going on if you scroll a bit
➤ League Watch @mlhleaguewatch
For everyone asking, this is happening across the league right now and it’s about the players collective bargaining agreement (CBA). In case you didn’t know, the MLH and MLHPA almost failed to come to an agreement on the CBA this summer and if they hadn’t there might’ve been a lockout this season. There was a last minute accord for a temporary agreement to last only this season and be re-negotiated before the 2023-2024 season but rumour has it that it was a very close-run thing. (1/?)
➤➤ League Watch @mlhleaguewatch
One of the sticking points was apparently game day dress code requirements which have always required players to wear suits before games and during post-game media. Most players want it gone and the Commissioners office had apparently been open to discarding it previously. Now though they are firm on it staying. I recommend looking at some of the blog posts that have gone through this issue in depth but basically the League is now saying they have concerns about how removing the dress standards could lead to ‘inappropriate’, ‘ostentatious’, ‘unsuitable’ or ‘political’ clothing choices. (2/?)
➤➤➤ League Watch @mlhleaguewatch
A lot of players this year have been making a statement by wearing pretty bold outfits that are still technically suits. There’s also a school of thought that it’s queer players that the Commissioner is mainly concerned about ‘dressing politically’ if the requirement is scrapped, so some straight players (mostly from New York and Ottawa) have also been deliberately dressing in ‘gay’ suits – like Boodram here. (3/3)

Rozanov and Hollander crash Barrett’s lobby interview at All Star weekend. #ASW2023
[Video: Troy Barrett is being interviewed in the lobby area of the hotel that everyone is staying in for All Star Weekend 2023. He and the interviewer are discussing his season to date when the camera recording the interview pans out and refocuses to see Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander walking into the lobby from a hallway behind Barrett. They are dressed casually but might’ve just been outside as they are rugged up in coats, scarves and beanies. Lindsey, the interviewer, looks up and says to Barrett, “Here’s your teammates.” Barrett turns to look and Rozanov walks over and raises an eyebrow, asking, “Troy, what are you wearing?”. Barrett frowns down at the very nice button-up shirt and dress pants he is wearing. “Very fancy,” Rozanov chirps, “Are you doing something important?”. “You can see what I’m doing,” Barrett responds, “and you’re interrupting.” The corner of Hollander’s mouth ticks up slightly, “Then why were we waved over?” he asks. Barrett looks back at the camera and says, about Hollander, “He used to be a nicer guy.” Lindsey laughs but Rozanov scoffs and says, “No he wasn’t.” Barrett motions at the interview team, “You’re taking up Lindsey’s time,” he says. Rozanov and Hollander wander off a little to the side and Lindsey looks back to Barrett. “So the next question was going to be can you tell us what you’ll be doing at the skills competition?” she asks. Barrett answers, “Whatever they’re not doing,” and motions to Rozanov and Hollander who are lingering just out of shot.]

Gagnon can’t get through Rozanov early in the second period. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Gagnon is moving through centre ice with the puck and veers left toward the wing to avoid Ottawa’s Evan Dykstra and Zane Boodram. He looks up searching for a passing opportunity only to see Ilya Rozanov moving quickly across the ice toward him. Gagnon attempts to deke and move right but Rozanov has him covered. Rozanov braces and pushes through the shoulder as Gagnon shifts his weight right, sending Gagnon backward onto the ice in an unsteady flop.]
➤ Teddy #GoCens @ethicallyunderperforminghockeyteam
MTL are getting so lazy with it. Maybe if the fourth line is out this move from Gagnon would be enough to shake off the cover. But against Rozanov? Against one of the best to ever do it? You look stupid thinking this little shift will fool him while you basically just run yourself right into his shoulder.

Tensions high against Montreal as usual. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Montreal’s Lepine slams Ottawa’s Troy Barrett hard against the boards and Barrett goes down heavy, sliding along the baseboards. Lepine shoves Barrett while he’s sliding, which pushes his closer to Montreal’s Gagnon. Gagnon grabs Barrett as he is trying to get back to his feet and Barrett moves to shove him away but Lepine has come back up on his other side. Barrett throws arms back to try to move both of them off him. Ottawa’s Evan Dykstra slides over and is saying something angrily as he pulls Lepine off Barrett. Ilya Rozanov is now over beside the fray and is checking on Barrett. Meanwhile, Dykstra has thrown off his gloves and is getting shoved by both Gagnon and Lepine. Montreal’s Comeau moves to stand in behind Lepine and swings his stick warningly toward Rozanov who is slapping Barrett on the shoulder and shoving him away from the area. Rozanov turns toward Comeau in response to the stick swing just as Ottawa’s Nick Chouinard has shown up to bodily take Lepine off the back of Dykstra. Dykstra and Gagnon continue to trade blows as Rozanov and Comeau are shoving at each other. Over where Barrett has skated slightly away, Montreal’s Bouiche is skating in front of him, arms out attempting to goad him. Barrett and Bouiche drop gloves and their momentum takes them back to the large scrum that is forming between Dykstra, Gagnon, Chouinard and Lepine. Rozanov has meanwhile shoved Comeau against the boards just off the main cluster of fighting players and they are exchanging angry words. It takes a long time for the referees to break up the fighting and both Rozanov and Comeau and Chouinard and Lepine exchange words at length on the ice before they can be fully separated.]

Pike goes sliding from the hit and can’t stop before sweeping up the legs of Montreal’s J.J. Boiziau, who thuds into the boards first with Pike in behind him. Rozanov rights himself and skates quickly by both of them, seemingly checking in on Boiziau, before moving fast down the ice to catch up with play.]

Drysdale wins the fight in Chicago, but the Centaurs take the game. #OTTvCHI
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Chicago’s Drysdale have downed gloves on centre ice and are skating back and forth faking each other out. Drysdale manages to get the first lunge in, taking a firm hold of the collar of Rozanov’s jersey. Rozanov responds by twisting and throwing a heavy punch. Both throw a round of quick punches; some are ducked, others land. Rozanov manages to twist Drysdale’s jersey enough that it restricts his movement somewhat, but Drysdale eventually manages to fling Rozanov to the ice. The referees are in quickly after that to separate them.]

The pass is intercepted by the skate of Ottawa’s Chris Young and goes jagging off toward the corner of the boards. Ilya Rozanov and Tampa Bay’s Hainsworth are both in pursuit of the puck. “Hainsworth looks to throw it back out to Ekman in – OH-” the commentary is abruptly cut off by the huge thump that sounds as Rozanov slams Hainsworth into the barriers.]

Highlight of the Conference Finals so far. #OTTvNYA
[Video: New York’s Brisebois is coming through the neutral zone with the puck with Ilya Rozanov moving in toward him. Rozanov slides in low and steady as he reaches Brisebois, who sees him coming. Brisebois manages to get the puck off at the last moment and, seeing the hip check coming, attempts to lift himself out the way of it. Unfortunately, Rozanov is too close and Brisebois’ small jump only helps to propel his shins into Rozanov’s side. Brisebois is thus pitched forward over Rozanov’s back in a front flip which he manages to awkwardly complete before coming down on his rear on the ice on the other side.]

Ottawa do it 4-1! The first ever Stanley Cup for the Ottawa Centaurs! #OTTvVEG #StanleyCupFinal
[Video: There are two seconds left on the timer in the fifth game of the Stanley Cup Finals series between Ottawa and Las Vegas. The scoreline of both this game and the series is 3-1 in favour of Ottawa. Las Vegas have the puck and are clustered tightly around the goal, desperately attempting to score. Wyatt Hayes is moving deftly side to side tracking the skirmishes for the puck between the Las Vegas players and the Ottawa players. A tight battle in front of the net sees the puck come loose. It is picked up by Ottawa’s Luca Haas who taps it forward and then slaps the puck to send it rocketing down to the other end of the ice. But there’s no icing call, because – the timer has run down. The game is over. Ottawa have won the Stanley Cup. Ottawa’s Antoine LaPointe bursts from the fray of players and begins jumping up and down on his skates. Hass grabs Shane Hollander into a joyful hug, which is quickly joined by goalie Wyatt Hayes. From the bench, the rest of Ottawa’s players are streaming onto the ice. Evan Dykstra gathers a jumping LaPointe up into an affectionate headlock and drags him over to the huge, raucous group hug that the team have formed. Last to reach the group, Connor Holmberg takes a flying leap toward the huddle and drapes himself half on top of his teammates heads before he is subsumed into the huddle with his skates back down on the ground.]

A few of the best moments from the Stanley Cup Finals. #OttawaCentaurs #StanleyCupChampions
[Video: A compilation of game moments from the five games of the Stanley Cup Finals series between Ottawa and Las Vegas. The footage begins with the opening goal of game one; a slapshot from Evan Dykstra off a long pass from Ilya Rozanov. The compilation also includes various face offs taken by Rozanov and Shane Hollander, Luca Haas weaving through traffic for a goal in the second game, a Hollander-Rozanov power play goal in the third game, save after save from goalie Wyatt Hayes, a wraparound goal from Zane Boodram in the fourth game, and various hard and precise hits from Ottawa’s defencemen throughout the series. The video finishes on the highlights from the final game, game five, starting with Rozanov’s goal off an assist from Troy Barrett to open Ottawa’s scoring, to the game-winning goal, a top-shelf stunner from Haas off a Hollander assist. The final piece of footage is the puck flying off Haas’ stick as the siren sounds to end the game, LaPointe jumping, Haas and Hollander embracing Hayes, and the rest of the team streaming out onto the ice.]

I had a lot of help with direct submissions for this video so thank you to everyone who sent me footage. #StanleyCupChampions #OttawaCentaurs
[Video: The video begins with hand-held phone footage taken by someone in the crowd at the Ottawa Centaurs Stanley Cup public parade in late June. In the footage, Ilya Rozanov is standing on a stage at the end of the parade route with a microphone in hand. He is, a little drunkenly, telling the crowd that Ottawa changed his life and declaring his love for the city. The crowd roars in response. The next clip is shaky but it is taken during the parade; Connor Holmberg is seen precariously dangling off the edge of one of the parade vehicles shirtless, appearing to be proving that he can do a one-handed pull-up off the side. The video carries on with footage of Nick Chouinard raising the Cup above his head with music blasting in the background at the post-parade party, Antoine LaPointe being dragged out of a bar in Ottawa in the early hours of the morning by Zane Boodram and Evan Dykstra, Rozanov throwing Centaur merchandise into the crowd at the Canadian Tire Centre home arena re-watch party, Hollander and Rozanov both stopping on the street late at night while the team are celebrating to sign autographs for people, and Mike Boyle and Troy Barrett tipping beer out of the Stanley Cup onto Wyatt Hayes. The video finishes with a clip of Luca Haas face-timing his family from the first parade, showing them to the crowd and the crowd to them, before Rozanov slides into the frame grinning and saying “Guten tag” into Haas’ phone camera.]

Everyone ready for a new season? #PreSeason #OTTvWPG
[Video: Ilya Rozanov has the puck behind the net and is battling to keep it away from three Winnipeg players that have surrounded him. He moves the puck wide on his stick right of the goal then scoops it firmly, lifting it up to fly over the net itself, where on the other side Shane Hollander shifts deftly sideways and slams it, from mid-air, downward into the back of the net. They both collide in celebration afterwards, grinning madly at each other.]

Rozanov can’t get Matikainen off his back tonight. #OTTvLA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov checks Los Angeles’ Krajči hard into the boards. This does not sit well with Los Angeles Captain, Matikainen, who immediately jumps on Rozanov’s back and tries to get him in a chokehold. Unbalanced from extra weight, Rozanov loses the edge of his skates and both he and Matikainen slide sideways to the ice. Matikainen uses this advantage to deliver an elbow to Rozanov’s ribs. Rozanov and Matikainen then wrestle for control on the ice as shoving breaks out among the players around them. The referees bisect the standing players to pull Rozanov and Matikainen away from each other, which simmers the tensions of the surrounding players.]

Aucoin holds Rozanov up on the barriers. #OTTvTOR
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is along the boards battling Toronto’s Rezende for the puck. Toronto’s Aucoin slams into Rozanov from the other side, giving Rezende the advantage and allowing Rezende to clear the puck from the area. Rozanov turns but is held up by Aucoin, who is keeping him pushed against the boards. Rozanov pushes at Aucoin who responds by shoving back harder. A close-range tussle breaks out until both have each other firmly locked with an arm around the neck trying to grapple for room along the barriers.]

Rozanov says Hayes is the best goalie in the league. #OTTvCAR
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Wyatt Hayes are sitting in the media room doing post-game press after the game between Ottawa and Carolina. They are both dressed casually in Centaurs branded shirts and sweatpants. A reporter moves on from asking Hayes about his shut-out game, to asking about the moment he came off the ice in the third period by attempting to do a Superman-esque jump into the players bench. After Hayes explains that he was seeing if he could do it in full pads, implying he had indeed practised it previously but not padded, Rozanov says, “When you are the best goalie in MLH you can get into the bench however you want.”]

The footage slowly zooms out until it is possible to see, on either side of Hollander and Barrett, Zane Boodram and Luca Haas who are leaned over, eyes also totally locked on to the iPad. The camera zooms out slightly further again and the viewer can see Coach Brandon Wiebe, standing behind his players, also looking down at the iPad. A fairly typical ‘study music’ track has been added to the video.]

Barrett falls back to the barriers with an arm across his nose trying to stem the bleeding that had started. Lepine looks to be moving after him but is cut off by Ilya Rozanov, who has dropped his gloves. Rozanov grabs Lepine and yanks him backward by the collar of his jersey. Lepine flails furiously and shoves at Rozanov, removing his own gloves as he twists in the hold Rozanov has on him. The crowd can be heard in the background of the clip screaming as Rozanov attempts to use the hold he has on Lepine to get him down to ground while Lepine tries to shed his jersey to escape it.]

Rozanov and Barrett having post troubles tonight. #OTTvNSH
[Video: Ilya Rozanov rockets a slapshot in toward the net from deep in the offensive zone. The shot narrowly hits the inside of the goal post and deflects hard across the face of the goals. It is collected up by Troy Barrett who fakes out Nashville’s Melancon for space and moves to slot the goal in from diagonally. The puck hits the goal post hard, again, higher than where Rozanov’s shot hit but on the same side of the post. This time the puck is secured by Nashville’s goalie. Rozanov glides toward the net and pulls up beside the post, tapping it once, twice, with his stick as though asking it what it thinks it’s doing.]

Rozanov had a special guest at the game tonight. #OTTvNYA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are seated for post-game media following the Ottawa versus New York game in New York. A reporter is asking if they were aware that Rose Landry was in the audience for the game tonight, though it’s clear the reporter knows they were perfectly well aware. Rozanov raises an eyebrow, “My friend Rose Landry? Yes. She likes to watch me play.” There is no further response, so the reporter pushes, “Shane, do you have anything to say about that?” Hollander’s mouth tilts slightly, as though he is considering it, “No,” he says, deadpan, “she was in Ilya’s section.” Beside him, Rozanov nods with his trademark lazy smile.]

Rozanov with the goal off a blind, backwards Hollander assist. #OTTvPHI
[Video: Shane Hollander has the puck moving fast through centre ice, the only player in proximity to him is Philadelphia’s Arpa who is pushing hard in pursuit. Hollander approaches the net as Arpa launches forward in a desperate attempt to reel him in. Arpa swings his stick at Hollander’s feet sending him thudding to his back on the ice. Ilya Rozanov enters the corner of the camera shot frame. Only Rozanov, Hollander, Arpa and the Philadelphia goalie are anywhere near the play. Sliding on his back, reaching sideways over his head, Hollander blind taps the puck with the toe of his stick back to Rozanov. It slides easily onto Rozanov’s tape and he launches it hard into the top corner for the goal.]

The usual suspects at Centre Bell. #OTTvMTL
[Video: The second period in the Ottawa versus Montreal game has just begun. Ilya Rozanov has slapped the puck from the face-off circle out to Ottawa’s Mike Boyle. This doesn’t matter, however, as Rozanov and Montreal’s Gilbert Comeau have immediately dropped gloves at centre ice and are throwing hands. They both land heavy hits before the referees intervene and draw them apart. The video cuts to a split-screen of the penalty boxes; Comeau is spitting blood from his mouth, Rozanov has a deep bleeding gash across his nose.]

Rozanov reaches the puck first but momentum is still carrying him toward Hunter as he gathers it on his stick. Hunter checks Rozanov hard, but Rozanov is anticipating it and moves back into it. The impact is heavy and they both are lifted off their skates, thrown sideways, and fall in a heap together on the ice.]

[Video: Ottawa Centaurs players on the ice are playing keep-away with the puck as the last seconds of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals series tick down. Ilya Rozanov sends the puck to Zane Boodram, who sends it to Evan Dykstra. The puck hits Dykstra’s tape just as the horn sounds; bellowing with joy, Dykstra swings hard with his stick, scooping the puck slightly and sending it rocketing into the plexiglass on the other side of the rink. Rozanov has thrown his stick in the air and is swarmed by Boodram and Troy Barrett as it lands behind him. The players on the Ottawa bench swarm on. Shane Hollander reaches Rozanov and grips two handfuls of his jersey. They are swallowed up in the wider huddle of teammates celebrating and slapping each other’s helmets, but it is clear to see Hollander pull Rozanov down by the grip he has on his jersey and plant a kiss on his lips.]

Highlights from the Stanley Cup final series. #StanleyCupChampions #BackToBack
[Video: A compilation of game moments from the four games of the Stanley Cup Finals series between Ottawa and Edmonton. The footage begins with the Ottawa Centaurs players huddled together on the ice pre-game at Game 1 with Ilya Rozanov in the centre of them throwing his hands around as he talks animatedly to them all, clearly hyping them up for the game. The compilation also includes an Edmonton player watching on in despair from where he’d gone down on the ice as Luca Haas skates away from him with the puck and scores a goal, a series of saves from Wyatt Hayes including a puck he manages to only just stop with the edge of his skate blade, Shane Hollander’s short-handed goal in the second game, two Hollander-Rozanov power play goals, Troy Barrett scoring bar-down in the third game, and Zane Boodram kicking the puck to Rozanov with his skate after losing his stick in the first period of game four. The final clip is of the bench clearing at the end of game four, Holmberg breaking first and jumping the barriers before the horn has even fully sounded, and everyone following him, streaming onto the ice, where Hollander pulls Rozanov into a kiss on the ice in the centre of the team celebrations.]

Many thanks again to everyone who has provided footage of the Centaurs Cup celebrations this year. Here are a few highlights from the official broadcasts and from what I’ve been sent. #StanleyCupChampions #OttawaCentaurs
[Video: The video is a series of clips from the Ottawa Centaurs Stanley Cup win and celebrations. The video begins with official media footage from the Centaurs rooms after the game, where Ottawa’s newest rookie, Howell, is offered a sip of the celebratory champagne that’s going around in bottles. Howell tips his head back and pours in from the bottle eagerly but when it hits his tongue it’s clear he has never had champagne before and hates it; he tips his head forward sharply, coughing and spluttering, spitting the mouthful of champagne out everywhere while his teammates laugh uproariously at him. The video continues with Chris Young losing a glove in the frantic on-ice celebrations after the win and several cuts to footage as the celebrations continue where Young continues, confused, to look for it and never find it. Also included in the video is footage of Zane Boodram, drunk, delivering an expletive-laden and joyous speech to the parade crowd about all the team have accomplished despite what certain people and certain former League figures said they couldn’t do. Luca Haas is seen in one clip crowd-surfing at the parade and looking like he has no idea how he got into that situation. Wyatt Hayes is seen dressed as a superhero at the parade. Shane Hollander is seen at the edge of the parade barriers reaching up trying to take and sign a cap from a young fan on the shoulders of his very tall parent only for a shirtless Ilya Rozanov to appear and hoist Hollander up for a piggy back so that Hollander can be eye to eye with the kid; Hollander grins as he signs the kids cap, now from a much more convenient vantage point. The video ends on a clip of the team dog, Chiron, relaxing pride of place at the front of the parade float sitting between Troy Barrett and Harris Drover and giving the satisfied look of a pup enjoying the wind on his face.]

Not a good start to the season for Rozanov. #OTTvFLA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov has the puck in the offensive zone, he is moving across down low to thread a pass to Troy Barrett when Florida’s Bradford comes in hard on the angle. Bradford moves in to check Rozanov off the puck but he stays high, while Rozanov is moving low. As a result, when Bradford steels himself for the hit his elbow comes across Rozanov’s helmet. Rozanov spins sideways to the ice and is slow getting up. He is seen off the play a few moments later slowly skating back to the bench.]

Renggli crosses the blue line and is in sight of Ottawa goalie Wyatt Hayes, who is watching and shifting his position adeptly. Rozanov dives forward on the outside of Renggli, stretching on the dive, and manages to poke check the puck off Renggli’s stick.]

Barrett’s rebound hits Rozanov during warm ups. #OTTvNSH
[Video: Ilya Rozanov during warm-ups, collecting up pucks near the goal line. Across the ice, Troy Barrett takes a shot on the empty net that is slightly off-course. The puck deflects off the top corner of the goal post and taps Rozanov on the head on the side of his helmet before falling to the ice. Surprised, Rozanov whips his head around with a displeased expression.]

Rozanov in post-game press speaks on Boston and being Canadian. #OTTvBOS
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is being interviewed at Boston’s home arena after the Ottawa v Boston game. The location of the interview is indiscernible but Rozanov is standing in front of some kind of wall, maybe in a hallway. A reporter is asking him about the years he spent in Boston and whether there are any Boston-specific things that have stayed with him. Rozanov speaks about coming to Boston as a teenager, about things about Boston he loved, and how thankful he always will be to the city for the way they welcomed him as a rookie and then as their Captain. The reporter chirps at him that he is sounding very media trained these days, which he grins at, and then the reporter hints that maybe they can even get him to say he remains Bostonian at heart. Rozanov responds, “No. I am Canadian now. In my heart. On paper.” A different reporter perks up at this and asks, “Can you confirm anything about where that puts you in terms of eligibility to represent Canada nationally?” Rozanov shrugs, “Hockey Canada know where to find me,” he says and then he winks to the camera and leaves.]

Rozanov is here to help his Alternate. #OTTvDAL
[Video: Zane Boodram is tussling with Dallas’ Ellison for the puck along the backboards. They are both shoving at each other but are fairly evenly matched and neither can quite gain control of the puck. Ellison finally catches a bit of space, taking control of the puck and moving left of Boodram. In a blink, Ilya Rozanov is in from around the net with a hip and shoulder than sends Ellison backward into the barriers. Boodram regains the puck.]

Rozanov rallying Team Eastern at All Star weekend. #ASW2025
[Video: Cliff Marlow is mic’d up at the All Star Game, gliding along the ice following a stoppage. Beside him is Everte, a young Latvian talent playing for Columbus who has been called up to his first All Star Weekend. Marlow glances up at the clock; there is around 55 seconds left in the game and the Eastern team are ahead 7-4. The camera angle shifts to the wider ice, where just ahead of where Marlow and Everte are pulling to a stop, Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are in discussion. Rozanov notices them arriving and looks up with a discontented expression. Hollander asks, “What was that?” in reference to the stoppage. Rozanov follows up with, “Are you paying attention, Marly?” Marlow tilts his head in a way that might communicate ‘eh, sort of’ or something similar to that. Rozanov flicks a gloved hand at him, “Shane wants another goal. Lock in,” he says decisively. Rozanov and Hollander move off, and the voice of Everte can be heard next to Marlow saying, “Is just game for fun?” Marlow snorts a laugh and turns to pat the kid roughly on the shoulder, as if to say ‘there, there, naive rookie’.]

Rozanov pulls Drummond from the boards after one too many elbows. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov takes control of the puck at the face-off and moves it backward to Nick Chouinard. Montreal’s Comeau comes through and wrestles the puck from Chouinard before slapping it toward the boards. Several players move after the puck. Montreal’s Drummond gets held up on the boards by Troy Barrett and responds by elbowing him. Barrett looks up expecting a call from the referees and is clearly agitated when it doesn’t come. Rozanov moves in during this byplay to attempt to move the puck away from Drummond but is hit from his other side by Comeau. The hit from Comeau propels Rozanov hard into Drummond, who is still otherwise hemmed in by Barrett. Drummond takes issue with this and doles out a few elbows to Rozanov, who bodily drags him out of the small scrum of players and starts gesturing to the refs. Drummond yells back and drops his gloves, so Rozanov does too.]

Classic Rozanov hat trick tonight. #OTTvTOR
[Video: Ilya Rozanov drives down centre ice toward the goal and executes his signature move; feigning a backhand shot and swapping to a forehand wrist shot the moment the Toronto goalie over-commits. Rozanov skates away pumping his fist. There is a cut in the video as it moves to the next piece of footage. Zane Boodram has the puck beyond the goal line and moves cross-ice to pass to Rozanov by the face-off circle who rockets it toward the net for a bar-down goal. Rozanov and Boodram point at each other in celebration. The video cuts to the final piece of footage. Ottawa and Toronto players are spread across the ice as a Toronto player misplays a chip off the boards and the puck is gathered up by Ottawa’s Mike Boyle. Boyle sends the puck through the neutral zone to Rozanov by the blue line. Rozanov lets it move through, skating on to the puck before the nearest Toronto defender can reach him. Toronto’s goalie moves forward, Rozanov taps the puck forward, then takes it out wide, slotting it left of the goalie and into the net. Rozanov roars and grins as he lifts his hands out to the side in celebration.]

It would be hard to. It’s obviously a really technical shot and hard for goalies to cover but you can’t just bust it out all the time. It needs ice space and time as well as the shot power and stick handling. Those things are why its only Rozanov and Hollander who can even do that shot in the first place.

Rozanov v Comeau, playoffs edition. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov checks Monteal’s Gilbert Comeau away from the puck near the sideboards just as the referee blows the whistle for a separate infraction behind them. Rozanov thus pulls up and lazily taps the puck on his stick, waiting for the call. Comeau, however, throws his stick at Rozanov, the edge of it clipping his mouth. Rozanov pulls backward, his glove to his mouth, but Comeau follows him, saying something. Comeau drops one glove and grabs Rozanov by the middle of the front of his jersey, pulling Rozanov forward. Rozanov drops his hand away from his face and drops his gloves; his split and bleeding lip now obvious. Comeau throws off his other glove and they begin fighting. By the time they can be separated, Rozanov’s lip is worse, Comeau is doubled over, and there is blood from Rozanov’s face on both of their jerseys.]

[Video: The video shows a wide and high shot of the ice in Toronto. Across the length of the ice, all Toronto and Ottawa players are tied up in pairs either shoving at each other, exchanging heated words, or actively fighting. The only two players not involved in any type of skirmish are the goalies, who have stayed beside their respective nets. The fight that is garnering most attention is between Troy Barrett and his former teammate Aucoin, who Barrett is letting loose on with his tongue out in concentration. Punches are also being traded between Rozanov and Toronto’s Ritter, as well as Evan Dykstra and Toronto’s Newton. Zane Boodram and Toronto’s Rezende are shoving at each other down the ice, and Nick Chouinard is speaking angrily to Toronto’s Witmer, who is arguing back.]

What a Game 7! Ottawa Centaurs do it in double overtime. The Stanley Cup three-peat is a reality. #OTTvEDM #StanleyCupChampions #OttawaCentuars
[Video: The offensive zone can be seen in Game 7 of the 2025 Stanley Cup series between Ottawa and Edmonton. The game is in double overtime and has been for the past 12 minutes and 34 seconds. Ilya Rozanov is moving fast with the puck through centre ice across the blue line with Edmonton’s Dedej in pursuit of him. Ahead of him, Shane Hollander has moved on the diagonal to the edge of the face off circle and shifts his weight just as Rozanov fires a pass to him. Hollander’s stance and the shift of weight just as the pass slaps onto his stick makes it seem as though he will fire the shot immediately. Edmonton’s Buisson moves across to screen the angle in front of Edmonton’s goalie who is protecting the side of the net Hollander is on. But Hollander takes the momentum of the puck and swaps it on the backside of his blade, as though he is going to flick it back to Rozanov, who has pushed further forward. Buisson moves to cover the pass and Dedej drops back to screen Rozanov. The moment they shift, Hollander has the puck on the curve of his blade like a flash and lands a sharp shot deep into the net. The Ottawa Centaurs have won the Stanley Cup for the third time in a row. Rozanov drops into a knee slide toward Hollander, arms outstretched, as though he is giving praise to a deity. Hollander screams something to Rozanov in exhilaration and drops to his knees to catch him at the end of his slide into a thudding embrace.]

[Video: A compilation of game moments from the seven games of the Stanley Cup Finals series between Ottawa and Edmonton. The footage begins with the first lines for each team coming out on to the ice for Game 1, over this is commentary and the commentators are talking about how historic this would be for the Ottawa Centaurs; a dynasty, a three-peat, the sort of story that would become legendary. This is followed by quick-fire footage of a range of goals across the seven games; a Luca Haas power play goal, a tip-in by Troy Barrett off a Zane Boodram assist, a sharp backhand goal from Shane Hollander, three hard and fast Rozanov slapshots, and Antoine LaPointe on the breakaway. The next clips are hard hits from Rozanov, Boodram, Evan Dykstra, Nick Chouinard and Connor Holmberg on Edmonton players, followed by brilliant saves from Wyatt Hayes. The final clip is of Rozanov to Hollander in double overtime in game seven, Hollander faking out Edmonton’s Buisson and Dedej and landing the puck in the net to win the Stanley Cup.]

The best of this year’s Stanley Cup celebrations. #StanleyCupChampions #OttawaCentaurs
[Video: The video is a series of clips from the Ottawa Centaurs 2025 Stanley Cup win and celebrations. The video begins with footage from after the seventh game, Ilya Rozanov completes his lap around the ice with the Stanley Cup, in previous years he has passed off to his first Alternate, Zane Boodram, however this year Rozanov and Boodram nod to each other and Rozanov passes the Cup to second Alternate Captain Shane Hollander, who scored the game winning overtime goal. Rozanov delivers the Cup safely to Hollander and then leans over the Cup, places a gentle hand to the back of Hollander’s neck, and kisses him. The audience in the Canadian Tire Centre erupt. The next clip shows the baby of a Centaurs staff member in the cup while Antoine LaPointe and Luca Haas play peek-a-boo with her. Also included is Hollander and Rozanov speaking on stage at the parade about Ottawa being home and how proud they are to be able to bring home cups together, the whole time standing close together with an arm wrapped around each other. Next is Chris Young, who was injured in game six dancing around on one leg and crutches at the parade. Then a clip of the whole team squeezed around the cup, drinking a brightly coloured mystery beverage from it through colourful straws. Then shaky footage taken from inside a club which pans across showing various drunk members of the team drinking, dancing, playing some sort of card game, or, in the case of Hollander, seemingly protecting the Cup by hugging it like a koala amid the revelry. Then footage of the team trying to carry Rozanov on their shoulders shouting “MVP! MVP!” and Hollander standing by and saying, “Do not drop him,” in a frighteningly serious tone. The video ends on a clip taken from LaPointe’s social media account of Wyatt Hayes officiating a wedding between Connor Holmberg and the Stanley Cup; the cup has a bridal veil on.]

Rozanov on his eligibility for the upcoming Winter Olympics and being invited to Hockey Canada training camps this summer. #OTTvPHI #Olympics2026
[Video: Ilya Rozanov sits in post-game press after Ottawa’s win against Philadephia. The questions turn from the game to the fact that Rozanov was invited to attend the Hockey Canada training camps late in the summer for the upcoming Winter Olympic Games. A reporter asks Rozanov if this means he has been cleared by the IOC to compete for Canada, which he confirms. Another reporter asks him if he feels confident he will be picked to represent Canada when the teams are announced later in the year, to which Rozanov shrugs and says, “We will all have to wait and see.”]

We have a goalie fight in Montreal! #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ottawa’s players have converged on the goal crease and tensions have begun to simmer between the closely crowded Ottawa and Montreal players. After a close shot on goal is saved by Montreal’s Patrice Drapeau, Drapeau is clearly agitated that he feels he’s not being given enough space around the net. Drapeau shoves Ottawa’s Troy Barrett away with his stick, which gets an angry response from Ilya Rozanov, who Drapeau shoves with a gloved hand. Signs of a brewing scuffle break out all around, with Barrett exchanging words with Montreal’s Gagnon and Montreal’s Comeau pushing Rozanov away from where he is getting in Drapeau’s face. Suddenly, the camera angle widens showing that Wyatt Hayes, Ottawa’s goalie, is moving down the ice pointing at Drapeau. Drapeau skates out to meet Hayes and they both drop gloves, throwing punches near the blue line.]

Eventually, the Utah player loses his cool and threatens to punch Rozanov, to which Rozanov replies, “Sure you want to?” then circles around him, as though considering dropping gloves, “Have you seen my fight compilation?” A referee is now hovering nearby, the Utah player mutters “Get out of my face” and skates off.]

On impact, Rozanov’s stick snaps in half. The momentum from Baumann’s stick lifts the broken base of Rozanov’s stick up and fast to the side, where it almost hits Switzerland’s Luca Haas on the wing.

The game-winner from Canada’s victory over Finland today. Canada is off to the gold medal match. #CANvFIN
[Video: Ilya Rozanov darts around the back of the net to reach Finland’s Lepistö who has gathered up the loose puck along the sideboards. Lepistö handles the puck but can’t get it under control before Rozanov is on him. Rozanov bodily positions himself between Lepistö and the puck and Lepistö is forced to attempt to move around Rozanov on the outside to battle for it back. But there’s not enough time, because Canada’s Corbett is down the ice behind them and Rozanov has quickly tapped it off to him. Corbett fakes the goalie out twice moving across the net, takes a failed shot, gathers the rebound, and fires it in again for the goal.]

[Video: Ilya Rozanov is standing in his Team Canada uniform all gear still on, including his helmet, leaning on his stick in an interview area following Canada’s win over Finland. He is nodding at a question posed to him about his young linemate, Corbett, who he compliments for his third period goal which ended up the game winner. The interviewer goes on to ask him what it means to him personally to play for Canada in a gold medal match. Rozanov says, “Is an honour. Truly. I mean it. To play for Canada. To be Captained by my husband,” he pauses for a quick moment, “To be at the Olympics again. Things I maybe would not have thought possible.” A few questions and answers follow about preparation for the gold medal game and then the interviewer wishes Rozanov luck which he thanks him for before departing.]

Canada’s Hayden Pike has the puck behind the goal line with USA’s Hunter and Vaughan in pursuit and battling him adjacent the boards. Pike deviates sharply to gain some space, leading them off the boards as Rozanov powers down centre ice evading USA’s Dorsey. Pike switches direction, pulls a spin manoeuvre and then slings the puck in to Rozanov right in front of the net. Rozanov buries it for the goal. Pulling up in front of the goal, Pike and Rozanov slam into each other for a triumphant hug.]

Sorry I couldn’t get this done faster but here are some clips from the Canada v USA gold medal game. #Olympics2026
[Video: A compilation of footage from the Gold Medal Game between Canada and the USA at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The footage starts with Canada's Captain Shane Hollander taking the first face-off of the match against USA's Captain Scott Hunter. The footage thereafter includes hard hits from both teams, Hunter and Hayden Pike battling for the puck against the boards, Ilya Rozanov taking the puck from Cliff Marlow, solid saves from the goaltenders, USA’s Serrano jumping a splayed out Troy Barrett and landing on one skate to regain the puck, Rozanov in the penalty box looking serious and chewing his mouthguard, and the two regular time goals; one for Canada by Brisebois off a Hollander assist, and one for USA by Vaughan on the breakaway. The footage then cuts to vision of both teams listening to their Captains prior to the start of overtime. Pike, Hollander and Rozanov lining up for Canada. Rozanov slotting in the game-winning goal from Pike’s spinning assist. Rozanov and Pike hugging in celebration. Hollander slamming into the side of them and slamming the three of them into the goal posts with the momentum. The Canadian team streaming onto the ice as the USA team slowly skate off their disappointment. Rozanov and Hollander skating side by side on the ice with Canadian flags wrapped around their shoulders. The final clip is from the cameras circling the athletes on the podium during the medal ceremony; the players are standing and singing as the Canadian anthem is played, as the camera pans around to the rear of the podium it can be seen that Rozanov and Hollander, who are standing pressed against each other side to side, have their pinky fingers interlinked.]

I still don’t get you man. Someone here once said you used to be a Boston fan? Did you just move with Rozanov or what?
➤➤ llya Rozanov Fight Compilation @rozanovfightcompilation
I live in America near the Canada border and really never picked a team I guess. Boston and Montreal are about an equal distance from where I grew up but my dad always supported Boston. I started watching hockey more just before Rozanov and Hollander’s rookie year and when I started making these videos it was because I was doing some community college classes in media. I thought I’d make a hockey video and picked Rozanov mostly because he was just a more interesting subject than Hollander at the time I guess.

Pike enjoying a catch up with Hollander and Rozanov during warm ups. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Hayden Pike and Shane Hollander are standing together on either side of the centre line during warm-ups before the Ottawa vs Montreal game. Pike is asking Hollander when the Ottawa team arrived in Montreal, as their journey was delayed due to weather. A puck shoots by, having rebounded hard off the side board from where Luca Haas and Antoine LaPointe are passing to each other at Ottawa’s end of the ice; Pike traps the stray puck with his stick to stop it from getting any further into Montreal’s half. Ilya Rozanov then skates over and says to Pike, “Very nice, Pike. You have finally learned stick handling skills.” to which Pike responds good-humouredly, “And you still haven’t learned how shut your mouth.” Rozanov grins at him and Pike cuts off whatever he might’ve said by saying, “I’m mic’d up tonight by the way.” Rozanov rolls his eyes and confirms that he could see that, then leans on his stick and asks Hollander if he would like to join the team for warm-ups or not; gesturing down the ice to where the rest of the team are moving through activities. Hollander responds that Rozanov hasn’t even so much as hit a puck himself yet, which Rozanov huffs at before moving to push off back toward where everyone is warming up. Before he goes Rozanov says, “See you after, Pike. Amber says she wants to show me a new song today.” When Rozanov has skated off, Pike says to Hollander, regarding the song, “It’s about a friendly rhinoceros.” Hollander groans, “He’ll love that,” he says, as though this is the worst news in the world.]

Rozanov says keep your hands off the rookie. #OTTvEDM
[Video: Ottawa’s newest rookie Beckett Conway is slammed into the boards by Edmonton’s Chaban. The hit is slightly high and Conway doesn’t brace for it properly. Chaban is still standing over Conway when Rozanov reaches him and shoves him away. Rozanov appeals toward the referees for a penalty, though one isn’t forthcoming. Chaban is gesturing and seemingly informing Rozanov that he did nothing wrong. Rozanov does not agree, however, and they exchange heated words until both drop gloves and begin throwing punches. Over by Conway, who is still down on the ice, with referees surrounding him, scuffles have also broken out between other Ottawa and Edmonton players.]

Hollander to Rozanov and through the legs. #OTTvWSH
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are in traffic on a short-handed play. They are near the net but even though Ottawa’s forwards are cycling hard for space, Washington has the player advantage and are shutting them down hard. Hollander suddenly snaps the puck to the right, bafflingly, to the rear of Rozanov’s skates. Rozanov flips his stick between his legs and whips the puck into the net for a goal.]

It shows a zoomed in slow-motion clip of Toronto’s Ritter throwing both his elbow and the base of his stick in the way of Ilya Rozanov, who is moving through the crease after a stoppage in play. Rozanov turns back in annoyance and Ritter, also annoyed at Rozanov for getting in his way, pushes Rozanov’s stick down as he turns. The two of them stare each other down for a few moments until Ritter advances. They both drop their gloves and start swinging at each other.]

Rozanov on going up against Hollander at All Star Weekend for the first time in years. #ASW
[Video: “First time in a long time I will play against Shane,” Ilya Rozanov is saying to media ahead of the All Star Game. He grins, “Looking forward to it.” Rozanov is seated at a small podium in the media area; he is wearing a promotional version of the jersey he will wear for the game, which has Team Europe on the front as this year’s theme is country of origin, Europe v North America. A few questions are posed in good humour about the return of the infamous rivalry and about who might emerge victorious over the weekend. Rozanov says, “I will win, of course,” which gets a scoff from nearby. The cameras move slightly to see Shane Hollander, who is seated nearby on a row of chairs, “You will not,” Hollander says, now that the cameras are on him. The cameras turn back to Rozanov, who has an expression on his face that seems to convey ‘are you seeing this bullshit?’, “This is my interview,” he says to Hollander, motioning to shoo him away, “Go get your own.”]

Rozanov pulls back slightly and taps the puck underneath the stick of the Montreal defender, who is at full stretch. Once the puck is out the other side Rozanov moves quickly to get on the inside of it and slot it into the net.]

Rozanov takes offense to a high sticking on LaPointe. #OTTvNYA
[Video: Antoine LaPointe takes the puck on the breakaway and is caught by New York’s Feiereisen on approach to the net. LaPointe takes a pressured shot on goal and misses, going wide to the left. The very next instant he is thrown backward to the ice by Feiereisen’s stick thudding hard across his shoulders. Feiereisen skates off, arms out, protesting innocence and gesturing to LaPointe suggesting LaPointe had knocked his hands. Rozanov, who has come down the ice, hip checks Feiereisen on the way past him and yells something at him while pointing him toward the penalty box. Feiereisen does not take well to this and begins shoving at Rozanov, then throwing punches with gloves still on, efforts which Rozanov returns in equal measure until the referees draw them apart.]

The first shot is off a long pass from Troy Barrett, thundered into the net above the goalie’s shoulder. The second is off his own rebound from the backboards, in close, slotted neatly between the goalie’s skate blade and the post. The third he battles the goalie for behind the goal line and scores wrap-around on the open net.]

Rozanov down for the count in tonight’s game. Hopefully an official update on his condition will be released soon. #OTTvDET
[Video: The video clip is taken from a television broadcast and includes the original commentary. Ilya Rozanov is hit high by Detroit’s Kerr and the impact of the hit immediately slams him into Detroit’s Amarante who is moving at speed. Rozanov seems to steady himself slightly after the first hit, but the second sends him spinning awkwardly to the ice. “That was heavy, those were two heavy, heavy hits on Rozanov,” a commentator is saying. “I don’t think – well, I don’t think he’s getting up. There’s a group of players around now and there’s concern here. Barrett is motioning, trying to get attention. And we have medical staff out on the ice.” The camera view is locked on Rozanov, who is motionless on the ice, intermittently screened from view by players from both teams that are circling the area in concern. Troy Barrett and one of the referees are directing in the two medical team staff who have come out onto the ice. The commentary continues: “Well he’s getting the best care that he can right – oh, and there, he’s moving. Rozanov hit the ice hard on that double hit but he’s moving now. He’s going to need help off the ice, that’s very clear. Over on the bench, we’re just seeing – there’s Hollander. What’s Hollander doing?” The footage has cut to the Ottawa Centaurs bench where Shane Hollander has discarded his stick and his gloves. Hollander can then be seen throwing off his helmet without a single care as to where it lands. “He’s taking off his gear. He’s just discarding it at the bench. Rozanov is being taken down the tunnel with quite a bit of help and, well, Hollander’s out of the bench and down the tunnel too. With him. They’re both gone. Hollander’s just left his things, left the bench, and gone with Rozanov.” There’s a beat of silence in the commentary as the camera feed turns back to the ice. Barrett is skating back over to the bench where the rest of the Centaurs players are closely huddled while Coach Wiebe is talking intently. “Is that – well – are Ottawa going to play two Centres down? It looks like it. It looks like they will. Hollander nowhere to be seen. Not coming back. And Young is now out on the ice in place of Rozanov.”]

Wow, we have a Shane Hollander fight tonight. #OTTvCHI
[Video: The video begins with a clip of Chicago’s Kudashkin saying something to Shane Hollander which makes Hollander turn his head sharply to Kudashkin. The next clip, Kudashkin is hard up on Hollander’s side down the ice, regularly shoving him as they move after the play. The next clip, Kudashkin is saying something to Hollander again, followed by a quick slap of Kudashkin’s stick over the top of Hollander’s before Hollander pushes Kudashkin away. The next clip Kudashkin is shoving at Hollander off the play, and then grabs the sleeve of his jersey which leads to a short tussle between them as Kudashkin looks to be seeking a fight and Hollander works to shove him off. In the next clip, Kudashkin pursues Hollander down the ice after a stoppage, mouth moving all the way, until Hollander hears something from Kudashkin that has him turning to face him. Kudashkin comes at Hollander, who shoves at him. Kudashkin grabs Hollander’s stick to halt the push so Hollander uses it to jerk Kudashkin back in closer. A moment passes where Hollander is seen angrily saying something to Kudashkin. Then Hollander drops his stick and his gloves before yanking Kudashkin’s stick out of his hands and dropping it to the ice. Kudashkin drops his own gloves and the fight is on.]

Hollander speaking with Jeannie Paquette before Game 2 in Toronto. #OTTvTOR
[Video: A cut from a short interview between Shane Hollander and sports journalist Jeannie Paquette. The interview is an ‘off-ice’ special and is being filmed in a nice outdoor area in Toronto, the day before the Ottawa Centaurs second First Round playoff game against the Toronto Guardians. Hollander has just answered a question from Paquette about the season the Centaurs have had, and Hollander has spoken a little about the beginning half of the season which was played largely without Captain Ilya Rozanov after he was injured in an early game. Paquette seizes on this mention to pursue a favourite line of questioning among journalists; the dynamic of playing together as husbands, often referred to as the First Husbands of Hockey. Hollander often dodges these questions, particularly during the season, but in this case he answers, “It’s been almost seven years now but,” his gaze flickers to somewhere off screen, “I don’t take a day of it for granted. There was a time many years ago, much earlier in our careers, where I know neither of us would’ve ever thought this opportunity would exist. To play together – sometimes on the same line. Almost always on the power play.” Paquette queries what has kept them motivated through all the years and all the Stanley Cups they’ve won. “Nothing motivates either of us more than each other,” Hollander answers, “That’s always been true. Against each other or together, we always want to push harder, do better.” Later, when Paquette asks if Hollander thinks they can win Ottawa’s fourth Stanley Cup this year, Hollander grins and says, “Yeah. I know we can.”]

Rozanov shows Weckstrom to a seat and then to the glass. #OTTvBOS
[Video: Ilya Rozanov races cross-ice in the neutral zone to slam into Boston’s Weckström. Weckström is thrown toward the half-boards but lands almost sitting on the edge of them, and only has to hop back off. Weckström pushes down the ice again and takes a pass from Boston’s Gould, with Rozanov now in pursuit of him again. Rozanov catches Weckström just beyond the blue line. This time he shoulders him hard into the full barriers and Weckström loses the position of the puck. Rozanov flicks the puck out to an Ottawa defenceman.]

Rozanov and McIntyre take the argument to the box. #OTTvBKN
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Brooklyn’s McIntyre are fighting at centre ice, shoving and yanking at each other’s jerseys and exchanging intermittent punches. This goes on for some time before referees come in to separate them. Neither Rozanov or McIntyre look likely to let go of the other, and words are being exchanged between the two. Once the power of three officials combined has been deployed to separate them and send them to their respective penalty boxes, McIntyre seems keen to continue the disagreement there. McIntyre slaps his stick against the inside glass of his penalty box, toward Rozanov in the other box, shouting at Rozanov to “just fucking retire.” Rozanov does not respond verbally at first, maintaining eye contact with McIntyre and casually having a drink while saying nothing. McIntyre follows up by telling Rozanov he’s over, washed up, and his best is a thing of the past. Rozanov moves to the inside edge of his penalty box and yells over it toward McIntyre, a perennial AHL player called up due to a long list of injuries in Brooklyn's top two lines, “Where is your best? They searched the whole AHL and still can’t find it.” McIntyre continues to mouth off but Rozanov sits down and ignores him.]

Rozanov with the skate blade save inches from the line! #OTTvWPG #StanleyCupFinals
[Video: A Winnipeg player takes a shot on goal that is saved by Ottawa’s goaltender Wyatt Hayes. Hayes has moved hard to the right to block the shot but the puck bounces off his pads to the left. Ilya Rozanov wheels around a Winnipeg forward to move left of the net. In the crease, Winnipeg’s Ketchner scrambles for the loose rebounding puck and tips it toward the goal. Rozanov stamps his skate down inches ahead of the goal line in the path of the puck, stopping it and preventing the goal.]

They’ve done it again. Stanley Cup number four for Ottawa! #StanleyCupChampions
[Video: The final seconds of Game 6 of the Stanley Cup finals series between Ottawa and Winnipeg are ticking down. Winnipeg’s forwards have the puck and are moving it around with Ottawa’s players only nominally in pursuit. Even though Winnipeg have the puck – there just simply isn’t enough time for them to close the score deficit. A Winnipeg player sends the puck hard toward the net through the offensive zone but it’s a Hail Mary of a shot. The shot is saved by Ottawa goalie Wyatt Hayes, not that it would have mattered anyway, Ottawa are two goals ahead. Hayes collects up the puck and slowly manoeuvres it on his stick. The horn sounds. The game is over. Ottawa have won the 2028 Stanley Cup. Ottawa’s Chris Young sprints the few strides between him and Hayes to grab him in a hug that propels them both back into the net. They are quickly joined by the other players on the ice; the combined force of which fully dislodges the goals from their regular position and sends them sliding back into the boards. The group of Ottawa players huddled together jumping and screaming and cheering are soon joined by the wave of Ottawa players streaming on to the ice from the bench.]

Highlights from the Stanley Cup series. #OTTvWPG #StanleyCupChampions
[Video: A compilation of footage from the six games of the Ottawa v Winnipeg 2028 Stanley Cup finals series. The video begins with a clip of Ottawa Coach Brandon Wiebe hyping up his players in the dressing rooms before play in game one. The next is a very closely zoomed piece of footage of Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander in the Ottawa bench area, leaning forward, hands on the blades of their sticks, eyes locked together as they are nodding at each other before tapping helmets. The next clips cycle through at faster pace: saves from Wyatt Hayes, Hollander-Rozanov goals, Rozanov-Boodram goals, Haas-Hollander goals, a filthy lacrosse shot from Barrett in the third game, Winnipeg players crushed to the boards by Ottawa defence, Rozanov’s skate blade goal save in the first game, Boodram gesturing with passion before game four when Ottawa were down 2-1 in the series, Haas fist-bumping down the line of the rowdy bench after a stunning goal in game five. The video moves on to footage of Rozanov and Boodram raising the Cup together, one end each, above their heads after the win. To Hollander nodding and smiling with the Cup raised, acknowledging the crowd cheers for his record-breaking seventh individual Cup; Rozanov clapping the hardest of anyone on the ice. The final clip is of the Ottawa players and staff on the ice surrounding the cup, posing for photographs.]

He’d been saying really gross shit and making threats about Rozanov all night but like only was saying them to Hollander and Barrett. Hollander also implied later that Kudashkin said some concerning things about his own teammate Caudill (who is gay). But what kicked off the fight was Kudashkin saying something about Rozanov’s late mother.

The best from the Centaurs Stanley Cup celebrations. #StanleyCupChampions
[Video: A series of short clips from celebrations held in Ottawa for the Centaurs’ 2028 Stanley Cup win. The video begins with footage from the locker room celebration: a few players file in grinning before Zane Boodram appears in the doorway and shouts, “We’ve got something for you!” to the room, moving through and throwing an arm backward to where Ilya Rozanov comes through the doorway with the Stanley Cup held high. The next clip is Rozanov handing the Cup over to Shane Hollander in the locker room and shouting, “The best fucking hockey player ever,” while the team douse Hollander with champagne. Cut to the next: Luca Haas on the ice immediately after the win, up at the plexiglass hands and face against it communicating through gestures and grins only to his boyfriend and his family. Next, Rozanov strolling in to his post-game interview, slapping his hand down on the desk and announcing, “Questions. Let’s hear them,” and then grinning as he leans forward to the microphone, “I want them to be good.” Then, a video from the official parade of young Beckett Conway trying to dance and looking like he’s never met the concept of rhythm. Next, Troy Barrett with the microphone at the parade stage, very drunk, regularly losing where he is in his speech and instead telling the crowd, five times over, that he got married last summer. Another cut: A shaky video zoomed in to the point of that the quality is awful of Rozanov and rookie Dmitri Vorobyov arguing the merits of a particular brand of vodka at an Ottawa club. Next, Boodram and Antoine LaPointe with confetti falling around them holding up four fingers on each hand to the camera and shouting “four, four, four, four” on the dance floor of the club. Then, Rozanov and Hollander on either side of the Cup, hands braced on the edge of the bowl of the Cup, leaning over to kiss each other. The final video is of Vorobyov standing by the edge of the Rideau Canal in the dead of night, crying, yelling “OTTAWA! OTTAWAAA!”]

Chapter End Notes
Me taking Winnipeg places they can only dream of: the Stanley Cup finals.
Andrej Ježek is homage to the fact that I once read something on here that mentioned Matej Chalupa. I did not realise he was a real player, I just thought it was a joke name because 'chalupa' means cottage in Czech/Slovak. Imagine my surprise when I realised he's a real guy. So I thought I’d write a Czech player into my fic with a nice fun name. Thus Andrew Hedgehog was born.
Explanation of the ježek joke:
ježek / ježci (Czech) = hedgehog / hedgehogs
yezh / yezhi (Russian) = hedgehog / hedgehogsThe Czech word is pronounced like "yeh-zhek" (singular) and "yeh-z-tsee" (plural) and the Russian word (plural version, which Ilya uses in this fic) is pronounced like "ye-zhee" so very similar phonetically.

900 career goals for Rozanov! #OTTvVEG
[Video: Ottawa’s Dmitri Vorobyov brings the puck down through the neutral zone and feeds to Troy Barrett. Barrett passes quickly to Zane Boodram, who moves the puck around two Las Vegas forwards. Boodram hustles the puck out to Ilya Rozanov who has space out wide. Rozanov snaps it heavy into the net, clean past the goaltender. Rozanov raises his arms and celebrates with a hard slash through the air with his stick, cornering away from the net on one skate. Rozanov, now facing toward the Ottawa bench, points directly to Shane Hollander who is already moving to hop over the half-boards to the ice. Rozanov and Hollander barrel into an embrace with Hollander only half over the boards. Their teammates both on the ice and on the bench crowd around slapping Rozanov’s helmet in celebration. The announcer’s voice fills the stadium; Ilya Rozanov has reached 900 career goals and now stands second of all time for total MLH career goals.]

Rozanov makes sure Schnidrig gives up the puck. #OTTvNJ
[Video: Ilya Rozanov skates up on New Jersey’s Schnidrig along the back boards and hits him hard into the barriers. Schnidrig recovers and moves to battle Ottawa’s Weston who is now gathering the puck on his other side, still along the boards. Schnidrig gets his stick to the puck to contest Weston but Rozanov shoves again from the other side. Schnidrig keeps his balance with a hand on the boards, so Rozanov shifts to push harder and shunts Schnidrig once, twice, three times hard to the right until he is knocked off balance.]

Hollander and Rozanov have now both passed the previous all-time record of 913 career goals. #OttawaCentaurs
[Video: The first clip in the video is from the Ottawa v Philadelphia game the prior week. Shane Hollander gets the puck on the power play from Luca Haas in close and on the move. Hollander fakes out the goalie and slots the puck in for a goal. He rips his helmet off immediately and rounds the rear of the net with a growing smile. Ilya Rozanov, coming right toward him from his spot back near the blue line, grabs him up and places a smacking kiss to his cheek. Hollander wraps his arms around Rozanov and grips his jersey hard, grinning so hard it looks like he might cry with the joy. A banner comes across the screen announcing that Shane Hollander has scored his 914th career goal; placing him at number one of all time MLH goal scorers and beating a record held for decades. The second clip in the video is from that day’s Ottawa v San Jose game. Ilya Rozanov gets the puck on the breakaway and steams down the ice all but muscling it past the goalie into the net. He punches the air and slams against the backboards pounding his fists into the plexiglass in celebration. Troy Barrett is the first to reach him, slamming into his back and hugging him against the boards, then the rest of the team begin to pile on. Rozanov turns around to face the embrace and when Shane Hollander gets there, the sixth teammate to make it over, Rozanov and Hollander both reach over the other players to grab each other hand-to-forearm. A banner comes across the screen announcing that Ilya Rozanov has scored his 914th career goal; placing him at number two of all time MLH goal scorers just behind Shane Hollander. The banner scrolls to read: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are now #1 and #2 all time highest ever goal scorers in MLH history and the only active players in the Top 20.]

Rozanov has no time for Lundrigan’s chirping. #OTTvWSH
[Video: A clip taken from the broadcast of the Ottawa v Washington game where Washington’s Lundrigan is mic’d up. Lundrigan asks Ilya Rozanov if he’s feeling it after being on the ice for a few minutes. Rozanov doesn’t answer until a few moments later when he has checked Lundrigan into the boards. “Do I look like I am feeling it?” Rozanov asks, to which Lundrigan responds, “I watched you a lot growing up. You used to be faster, definitely.” The clip cuts to later in the game, Lundrigan is giving unsolicited feedback to Rozanov on a previous play where Lundrigan got the better of him and stole the puck. The play shifts as Ottawa’s Weston gains control of the puck, sending it to Barrett, to Weston, back to Barrett, who sets it up for Rozanov to sink the puck into the net. Rozanov slides by into the path of Lundrigan after his goal celebration, “Maybe wait to give feedback until your brain is developed,” he says to him, and then adds, “Or maybe when you have five Stanley Cups.”]

Devries takes on Russia and loses. #OTTvVAN
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is screening Vancouver’s goaltender while Ottawa’s Dmitri Vorobyov is putting pressure on Vancouver’s Devries who has the puck. Vorobyov gets a firm check in on Devries who is unsteadied as he passes, setting the puck loose. Devries pursues Vorobyov, who is passing by the crease where Rozanov is now also moving outward. Devries shoves at Vorobyov in retaliation, pushing Vorobyov into Rozanov forcing them both to recover their balance. Rozanov gestures in agitation at Devries who has a few words to say in return. Devries moves to skate off but Vorobyov moves too and hip and shoulders him. The impact pushes Devries back into Rozanov who shoves him off none too gently. Now furious, Devries is stuck between the both of them gesturing and arguing. The stalemate ends when Vorobyov grabs Devries by the jersey and Devries responds by dropping gloves. Devries and Vorobyov get into a fist fight while Rozanov leisurely skates away, holding his hands up in innocence toward the refs.]

[Video: Ilya Rozanov intercepts the puck by slamming Carolina’s Sneddon against the boards near the goal line. Sneddon slips out on one foot which sends him falling awkwardly to the ice against the boards. Rozanov has to move quickly to make space as Sneddon falls, to avoid their skates tangling together. Rozanov moves to push off toward the puck, which is now being fought over by Ottawa’s Weston and Carolina’s Sturm, but Carolina’s Captain, Renggli, has taken offence to the way the hit on Seddon played out. Renggli comes in on Rozanov with intent and Rozanv, who sees him coming, meets Renggli’s heavy shoulder with one of his own. Two more Carolina players have swept in now, one shoving Rozanov and the other slapping his stick with their own. A fight is averted as the referees swoop in to break up the three-on-one group.]

[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Winnipeg’s Alidou are skating toward each other on the wing as Alidou is looking to move the puck out of the offensive zone. Rozanov and Alidou both steady and crouch as they get closer, bracing themselves for the hit. They make contact and Rozanov manages to throw Alidou off with a hard hip and shoulder that has Alidou kicking out and dropping to the ice.]

Rozanov-Hollander power play classic. #OTTvBKN
[Video: The Ottawa Centaurs are on the power play coming down the ice. Luca Haas passes the puck to Ilya Rozanov at the blue line, while Brooklyn’s goalie Sipilä tries to set himself. Rozanov fires the puck cross-ice to Shane Hollander, who whips is back to Rozanov. They are getting closer. The goalie shifts with their passes. Rozanov taps it back to Hollander, who brings it back to Rozanov. They exchange the puck quick-fire through the offensive zone as they close in on goal. Sipilä shifts left, right, left, right, left, right, head swivelling... until the moment Sipilä is still moving left but Hollander is already through the shot on the right. The puck thuds into the net.]

Rozanov and Hollander get Haas talking on the mic. #OTTvBUF
[Video: Luca Haas is on the ice early in the first period. There is a stoppage in play and Haas has pulled up beside the boards. "Hmmm,” he says, which is picked up by the microphone he is wearing. “Aren’t you mic’d up?” asks Ilya Rozanov, who slides into view beside Haas. Rozanov doesn’t wait for a response before gesturing toward Haas, “You say anything interesting?” Haas shakes his head, “No,” he says, “I don’t know why they mic’d me.” Haas nods in greeting as Shane Hollander moves in to join their little huddle by the boards. Haas continues on to say, “I don’t say much out here.” Hollander snorts a laugh, “You had plenty to say last game,” he chirps. “I didn’t!” Haas objects, looking sheepish. “No, no,” says Rozanov, now grinning, “I remember you would not shut up.” Haas pushes off the boards, “That’s not true!” he says, “I just thought someone should say something about the sorts of calls-”. The remainder of Haas’ sentence cuts to silence by whoever is managing the feed. When the audio feed cuts back in, Haas is skating away looking petulant while Rozanov and Hollander are laughing cheerfully from the boards.]

Rozanov takes a flying hit and his team are in to defend him. #OTTvTOR
[Video: Toronto’s Witmer slides in low and moves up through a hard, surprise hit on Ilya Rozanov along the boards. The direction and speed of the hit sends Rozanov’s feet flying out from beneath him, flipping him and landing him hard on the ice. Rozanov scrambles and gets straight back up, turning to lay into Witmer, but two other Ottawa players already have him pinned against the boards in retaliation. Rozanov joins the fray, which is soon joined by two more Toronto players, then one more Ottawa player closely followed by another Toronto player. A group brawl against the boards has thus broken out, topped off by two more players, one Ottawa and one Toronto, streaming in from the opposite end of the ice to join the fighting. The group is split slowly and with difficulty by the referees, until three one-on-one fights break out, including between Rozanov and Witmer.]

Rozanov catches up pre-game with Hockey Feed Canada about Olympic selection and Ottawa’s season so far, with a surprise Hollander cameo. #OTTvPIT
[Video: Ilya Rozanov is standing in a corridor near the Ottawa Centaurs locker rooms at the Canadian Tire Centre being interviewed. The interviewer is asking Rozanov about his selection, again, for Olympic duty as part of Team Canada, as well as his thoughts about Ottawa’s upcoming game that day against Pittsburgh. Rozanov is answering a question about the tight MLH and Olympic schedules this year when he is suddenly cut off by a loud whirring and screeching sound. Rozanov frowns slightly, pauses, and when the sound has passed, begins to answer again. Only, he is cut off once more by the same whirring and screeching. Rozanov turns around and with his posture now sideways to the camera, more of the hallway can be seen. The viewer can now see that Shane Hollander is standing with a hockey stick in hand beside a circular saw machine. Rozanov blinks at Hollander as though he cannot believe what he is seeing, “Are you joking, moy lyubimiyy?” Hollander looks up from inspecting the cut on his stick shaft and frowns at the situation that has unfolded. “The other saw’s being used,” Hollander says, sounding very put out about it. Looking to seize the opportunity to speak to Team Canada’s second-time Olympic Captain for 2030, the interviewer attempts to ask Hollander if he’d like to step in to join the recording. Rozanov is the one who shakes his head, “No, he is preparing,” Rozanov says decisively, “there will be hell for all of us if we interrupt.” Hollander looks relieved as he picks up another stick from against the wall and turns back to the saw, while Rozanov instructs the media group to move down the hallway to another room to continue the interview.]

Rozanov doesn’t appreciate the puck to the body from Blouin. #OTTvMTL
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Montreal’s Blouin are seen battling hard for the puck in the neutral zone. Blouin manages to tap the puck clear and there is a tussle between them behind the play before Blouin moves off again down the ice. Rozanov pursues Blouin who takes the puck back on a pass across centre ice. Rozanov skates around in front of Blouin. Blouin lifts and deliberately rockets the puck directly toward Rozanov’s body. Rozanov jumps and turns to shield from the blow; the puck hitting him on his side, just above his hip. Rozanov lands and moves after Blouin, who attempts to fend him off with his stick before Rozanov drops gloves and reels Blouin in by his jersey.]

It was an awful game and I really hope action will be taken but Rozanov can hold his head high for this gusty game winning assist. #CANvRUS #2030Olympics
[Video: A compilation of footage from the Olympic Semi Final game between Canada and Russia. The compilation shows that the game was rough and hard hitting and that certain Russian players were risking fairly dirty hits on Canadian players, in particular Ilya Rozanov. The footage speaks to the limited ice time given to Rozanov as a measure of caution from the Team Canada coaches due to certain players targeting of him. The video shows the two regular time goals scored by each team and the moment the horn sounded at the end of the third with scores level, taking the game to overtime. The final clip is from deep within overtime with a heavily remixed line on the ice for Canada; Rozanov puts himself bodily in the way of two Russian players to chip the puck to Canada’s Charbonneau who takes it on the breakaway and scores to win the game. Rozanov doesn’t see the goal because he’s been tripped and slammed into the boards by one of the Russian players – when he surfaces his nose is bleeding.]

[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander sit side by side at a press conference they have called. They are both dressed well and have serious expressions. Hollander begins by confirming that they have called the presser to announce they will be retiring at the end of the season. Rozanov carries on to say that they will be playing the playoffs and look to bring Ottawa one final Stanley Cup, but that they had decided otherwise that it was time for both of them to finish their careers. Between the two of them they go on to thank family members, teammates, coaches, support staff, sponsors, friends, and everyone else who has supported them through their careers. Hollander takes a moment to specifically thank their fans over the years, and the implication is clear that they both particularly mean those who stuck by both or either of them after they were outed. Rozanov concludes by saying that for the two of them, being able to play the last nine seasons of their careers together, and to bring Ottawa four Stanley Cups, has been the greatest joy of their careers. At this point they grip each other’s hands on top of the table they are sitting at; Hollander’s left and Rozanov’s right, the hands they wear their rings on. They turn back to the assembled media and say they will now take any questions.]

McAvay gets luck on the landing and has to be swept aside by Rozanov. #OTTvBOS
[Video: Ilya Rozanov sweeps in to land a solid hit on Boston’s McAvay. The hit sends McAvay backward and to the ice but inadvertently places him directly alongside the puck which has rebounded off the side boards and come to a halt by McAvay’s gloves. McAvay scrambles to one knee trying to steady himself enough to hit the puck, so Rozanov pushes him sideways with one hand as though he’s moving a sliding door.]

Rozanov wants to know who Shane Hollander is in post-game media. #OTTvFLA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander are doing post-game media following Ottawa’s Game 1 win over Florida in Round 2 of the Playoffs. The questions turn from the game itself to the impending retirement of the two star players at the microphones. A reporter asks Rozanov what he thinks the Rozanov who took the ice in the MLH for the first time two decades ago would think if he was told he would retire side-by-side with Shane Hollander. Rozanov adopts a bemused expression, leans forward and asks, “Sorry… who is Shane Hollander?” Beside him, Hollander rolls his eyes but is laughing.]
➤ alfredo sauce @mamaalfreda
Okay but that probably is exactly what 2010 Rozanov would say.
➤➤ Definitely Rozy’s Lawyer @rozanovdefender
Precisely. He answered that question with pin-point accuracy.
➤ hollanov into my veins @livelovehollanov
YES BUT when they asked Shane the same question he said he wouldn’t have said anything if you told rookie-Shane that he’d retire with Ilya. He said he would have “avoided answering” if ever told that back then.

Rozanov takes Medina for a walk in Florida. #OTTvFLA
[Video: Florida’s Medina is up in the face of Ottawa’s Saunders with Saunders pushed up against the boards. Medina is not backing down and drops his gloves. Saunders does not drop his and moves to push Medina away and leave. Medina starts swinging his fists despite the fact that Saunders is clearly not interested in fighting. Ilya Rozanov appears behind Medina and grabs him by the back of his jersey, dragging him down the ice in the direction of the Florida bench until a referee arrives and intervenes.]

Rozanov really is going out with a bang. #OTTvFLA
[Video: Ilya Rozanov and Florida’s Wilson skate up to each other. Rozanov’s body language is fairly casual and disinterested until Wilson slashes at Rozanov with his stick. Rozanov pushes back with his own stick firmly to Wilson’s. Rozanov appears to say something in warning to Wilson, who throws his own stick down at Rozanov’s feet and then flings off his gloves. Rozanov dodges Wilson’s grab at his jersey, discards his own stick and gloves and then swipes a handful of Wilson’s collar. Wilson lands a short jab on Rozanov first but is met with three precise hits from Rozanov in return. The fight is short after that, Rozanov fairly quickly has flung Wilson to the ice and holds him there until the referees come to separate them.]

An emotional goodbye to Rozanov and Hollander in Ottawa today. #OTTvFLA
[Video: Ottawa have been eliminated from the playoffs in Game 6 against Florida and Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander have therefore played their last MLH game. Rozanov and Hollander are both on the ice when the final horn sounds. Florida’s players are celebrating their progression to the Eastern Conference Final. Rozanov and Hollander skate slowly to each other and meet in the neutral zone near the blue line; they embrace each other hard and Rozanov rocks them side to side a little as they grip on to each other. The other Ottawa players have gathered on the ice and are forming a line, waiting for Rozanov and Hollander. Rozanov and Hollander split apart and exchange a few words with each other quickly before turning to their team. One by one Rozanov and Hollander move down the line of their teammates receiving handshakes and hugs. Florida have meanwhile also lined up on the ice and are tapping their sticks on the ground in recognition of the moment. Rozanov and Hollander clap toward the crowd and wave their sticks as they move over to also shake the hands of the Florida players, then the referees, and then the Ottawa coaching and support staff by the bench. Finally, Rozanov and Hollander skate back toward each other and grab each other’s hand before skating a lap of the ice acknowledging the crowd who are screaming and crying themselves hoarse. Hollander looks amazed and overwhelmed and Rozanov has tears in his eyes. By the end of their lap, David and Yuna Hollander have made it down to the ice and the four of them immediately fold into an emotional group hug.]

The final yearly update of the Hollander fight compilation.
[Link to YouTube video: The cover of the video this year is Shane Hollander yelling at Scott Hunter during their on-ice altercation many years ago. The video is titled ‘Ultimate All-Time Shane Hollander Fight Compilation’. Hollander’s three MLH fights are featured: a heated exchange with Hunter, a fight against the boards with Gilbert Comeau, and punches thrown with Arseniy Kudashkin.]
➤ Sofia ۵ @sofisinthebayyy
Now that we know what the Hunter fight was about we can confirm Hollander only throws hands over Rozanov 😏
➤➤ Gary Osman @gary4979467
Sorry what do you mean. We have never known what the Hunter fight was about?
➤➤➤ Cami | World Famous Hollander Enthusiast @camihollander
Ah, earlier this season Shane was on Imani Krause’s podcast and he admitted he thought Hunter had clocked him and Roz.
➤➤➤➤ Gary Osman @gary4979467
What? Who is Imani Krause? What does clocked mean? How did he clock?
➤➤➤➤➤ Cami | World Famous Hollander Enthusiast @camihollander
Okay right so Imani is a WHL player. She’s out on LTIR right now so has been podcasting and Shane was on there a few months ago. By clocking I mean Shane thought based on something Scott Hunter said that Scott had figured out something was going on between Shane and Ilya and Shane was panicked by that I guess, because he was closeted at the time and all.
➤➤➤➤➤➤ Leesa @dontcallmeelizabeth
WHAT? That fight between him and Hunter happened WAY before 2017. Like 2013 maybe? God, this means those people who always said Hollanov were sketchy on their dating timeline was because it was going on for AGES were so right?!
➤ hollanov into my veins @livelovehollanov
Lots of talk in these comments about the podcast where Shane discusses the first fight with Scott Hunter. So I will link you-
[Link: The link is to a podcast hosted by WHL player Imani Krause which focusses on 2SLGBTQI+ lives in professional hockey. It is a very small production with only 6 total episodes and a very small number of plays and subscribers. The episode with Shane Hollander is Episode 4 and goes for an hour. Over the hours and days following the posting of this link, the subscriber and listener numbers are about to explode.]
➤➤ haasy is bby gurl @lucahaasbaby
🤔 just how long were those two fucking on the DL?????
➤ Ottawa River Canoe @gonepaddlin
In summary, then, based on what we now know… Hunter implies Hollander is sounding like Rozanov and Hollander drops gloves. Comeau insults Hollander and Rozanov’s relationship and Hollander drops gloves. Kudashkin threatens Rozanov and insults his mother and Hollander drops gloves. Okay, so keep his man’s name out your mouth I guess wow
➤➤ Hayley #hollanovia @hayleystaysrpfing
And really keep Irina Rozanova’s name out your mouth because Kudashkin got whooped the hardest.

[Link to YouTube video: The cover of the video is a now very old still from one of Ilya Rozanov’s early interviews of him shirtless, winking at the camera in the locker room after promising to score 50 goals in his rookie season. There is bold red text over the cover image which says ‘ILYA ROZANOV CAREER HIGHLIGHTS’. The video is titled ‘Ilya Rozanov MLH Career Highlights Compilation 2010-2030’. The video compilation includes the 50 goal promise, clips of Rozanov chirping about Shane Hollander in interviews, Rozanov taking face-offs, Rozanov mic’d up annoying opposition players, clips from his 1,000th MLH game, from passing the old long-standing record of 913 career goals, clips from goal celebrations over the years, from plays with Troy Barrett and Zane Broodram and Luca Haas and Cliff Marlow, iconic powerplay moments with Hollander, the best lines from All Star weekend press over the years, two Olympic medals for Canada, various clips of Rozanov and Hollander embracing in little ways over the years, a kiss here, a hug there, and fond stick taps, Rozanov’s most impressive fights, moments spent in the penalty box, Rozanov winning five Stanley Cups, Rozanov celebrating those five Stanley Cup wins, and finally, Rozanov and Hollander on their goodbye lap at the conclusion of their final game earlier in June.]

llya Rozanov Fight Compilation @rozanovfightcompilation • 16 July 2030
I had to buy a new hard drive to get this video done. Somebody asked me to do a compilation of Rozanov and Hollander talking about each other over the years and I didn’t realise how much content there was going to be. They really couldn’t shut up about each other. Somebody probably should’ve figured out they were in love with each other sooner.
[Link to YouTube video: The cover of the video is Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander bent over toward each other in face-off stance in the ‘fifteen year anniversary’ photoshoot they did for CCM in 2025. The bold red text over the cover image reads ‘ROZANOV V HOLLANDER HEATED RIVALRY’. The video is titled ‘20 Years of Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander Talking About Each Other’. The video is very long and includes a very broad range of footage of Rozanov and Hollander talking about each other over the years. The compilation includes Rozanov asking if Hollander was a goalie now in their rookie year, and Hollander saying he’d pay attention to Rozanov when Rozanov caught up to him, it includes joint press conferences, All Star interviews, chirps caught on microphone on the ice including one from 2015 that sounds a lot like flirting now given the additional context, as well as compliments and challenges uttered in post-game press, sound bites from award ceremony interviews and the joint MLH Award presentation from 2014. The video then progresses to the engagement announcement video posted by Rozanov and Hollander in 2021, to snippets that made their way online from their wedding, from prying questions in their first years together as Centaurs, to interviews and presser moments as they slowly spoke more about each other as husbands, to moments caught on-ice and on the bench, to footage shared by Rozanov and slightly less frequently by Hollander on social media, to moments from Stanley Cup celebrations and emotional speeches, to even funnier chirping to reporters and at All Star weekends now they were out and comfortable, to more compliments and more challenges delivered with grins, and to years of tiny drops of evidence as to the timeline of it all. The compilation ends on a recent post-retirement interview where the interviewer asks Rozanov and Hollander a particular line of questioning that has come up a few times since they announced their retirement, “What would the two of you who went out alone to their first MLH game think if they knew in twenty years you’d be playing your final MLH game together?” Rozanov smiles slightly, seemingly happier to answer the question properly now that their final game has come and gone, “I would have been very happy,” he answers. “Not surprised?” the interviewer wonders. Rozanov and Hollander exchange a look, then a small nod, and Hollander says, “Surprised that we’d been brave enough to do it? Maybe. I would’ve been surprised that it had all worked out okay. But not surprised that it was Ilya. We knew it was something, even then. Not that we’d have ever admitted it to each other so early.” By the end of Hollander’s answer, both are looking at each other and smiling like lovesick fools, the interviewer partially forgotten.]
➤ Ottawa Oracle @cityofstanleys
This is where we definitely should’ve figured something was going on
[Video: Shane Hollander collides with Cliff Marlow and goes down hard on the ice in April 2017. Hollander doesn’t get up after he hits the ice and it becomes clear he is not moving, and needs medical attention. Ilya Rozanov can be seen standing over Hollander, sometimes in the way of the medical staff who come out on the ice. Rozanov keeps moving closer and closer and seems to be asking questions. This continues until a medic pushes Rozanov away and a referee removes him from the area.]

You’re right. So like I didn’t watch the docu when it came out and only got around to it after they’d gotten married. They run the clip of the actual hit and you see Rozanov’s on ice reaction and then it cuts to Rozanov in the interview for the documentary being asked about it. I remember thinking oh wow you can really see it if you have the right context, you know?

Proof for anyone who doesn’t believe this btw:

The video includes a wealth of behind the scenes footage from the 2025 shoot as well as what little behind the scene footage could be sourced from the 2010 shoot. Aside from far more familiarity with each other in the 2025 clips, there is a vibe to both shoots that is rather consistent.]

Hi everyone. Following the retirement of Rozanov and Hollander I have also decided that this account will be retired. I won’t delete it so it will be left here as an archive of sorts.

I know the first comment here from the account owner guy will spark a lot of discourse. But when you think about it overall he hasn’t been so bad. His fav Hockey Bro got outed as a man kisser and yeah he took a bit of time to process that. But he came back and said nothing would change. He kept posting the way he did before and never spoke about Roz any differently plus he started posting Shane stuff as well like just started including the husband of the guy the account was about. Plus he’s posted quite a few off-ice Hollanov moments that are definitely sort of just cute or funny relationship moments.

Also, as I mentioned last chapter and to many of you in the comments, Dmitri Vorobyov really grabbed hold of me as a character and would not let go. It was originally intended for him to appear only once or twice over two chapters, but then, well.
I even ended up with a whole mental backstory for him along the way. And so, such as not to waste the Vorobyov canon rolling around in my mind, I’ve posted a summary of his character to my Tumblr for anyone interested: Vorobyov Character Summary

Aw, why not? How can you say no to the Royal Princess of the Hollander-Rozanov dynasty?

I’m serious, I’m over 50 years old. I’m about to be a grandfather.

Okay but I will be back when her younger sister is drafted to see if I can convince you then.

Hmm, don’t be so sure of that. Mila is actually a very good speed skater, she may pursue that instead of hockey.
Chapter End Notes
Here we go, this behemoth of a social media fic that I was so bloody determined to write is finally done! It’s like when your first child moves out of home or something *sniffles* WHERE DID THE YEARS GO?
Also did you notice the upgraded 2048 usernames/handles of some of our previous regulars?!
And for those curious about the two Hollander-Rozanov daughters, here’s a summary of their careers as athletes:
Arisha plays 5 years for Montreal before going to Winnipeg in an absolute bungle of a trade deal that Montreal fans rage about and tar and feather Montreal management over for years. It results in very iconic ‘Bring Our Princess Back!’ campaigns and the like, until the deal is done 3 years later to bring her back (a deal which is very expensive for Montreal, as Arisha and her ‘management’ wring them for every little dollar they have). She then plays out her career in Montreal having won 2 Cups with them.
Mila does indeed pursue speed skating over ice hockey. She represents Canada at the Olympics 5 times and wins 1 silver and 2 bronze medals from those appearances, as well as a number of other top 10 finishes. She spends most of her adult athlete career in the Netherlands but moves back to Canada after retiring.
