Rose - omg Shane!!

          - Why have I never seen this video before?

          - We’ve got ourselves a girl trivia expert over here!

Shane - Not you too! Why is this such a big deal to everyone? It’s just one of a bunch of stupid league pr videos I had to do.

Rose - Most of your media is so boring!

          - I could do like 90% of it for you.

          - They’re a good team over there but they’ve still got weaknesses we can capitalise on. We just need to stick to our systems and play our own game for a full 60 minutes. Keep playing simple hockey, getting pucks in deep, skating hard, winning our battles and creating chances. Like I said the boys are going to go out there and give it 100% and hopefully get some pucks in the back of the net.

          - No personality

Shane - Shut up!

Rose - What! They didn’t have media appropriate hockey cliches you could memorise on how to answer girl trivia?

          - How does Shane Hollander cope when he has to think for himself?! 😱😱

Shane - I just answered the questions normally!

Rose - According to the rest of the guys in the vid normally is dumb as shit

          - Are you like the only decent non stupid guy in the mlh?

Shane - No. There’s Ilya for one. And Hayden. And most of the Centaurs are good guys.

Rose - Shane that was rhetorical.

          - I know it’s a stereotype but those concussions really have lowered the overall iq of the mlh

          - idk what’s worse, these guys actually being as dumb as rocks, or gua sha according to that one guy, or if they’re just that oblivious about girly things?

Shane - Is it even worse if it’s both?

Rose - YES! 😭

Shane - Ilya said it’s like the girly things have cooties they don’t want to catch.

Rose - 😂😂

          - I’m glad you found one of the good ones.

          - I would hate to have to be nice to your bf if he was some stupid hockey bro.

Shane - Like you would have been nice if he was an idiot.

Rose - You’re right.

          - I don’t let my friends date idiots.

          - At least not without telling them.

          - It should be embarrassing that these guys in the video don't take an interest in the things their partners get up to. Not seen as funny and entertaining for content.

          - I bet all those wags can tell you loads about the nuances of hockey and these guys don't even know basic skincare.

          - I’m sad for their partners and their skin.

Shane - If it helps not all players are like that.

          - And Hasey is even trying to educate the others.

  Screenshot of Ottawa Centaurs Group Chat: Hollander. I am not super gay. I am just regular gay. And I agree with Hasey. I know these things because I have healthy relationships with the women in my life not because I'm gay. Hayes. Thank you! It’s not gay to take an interest in your wife’s life you morons. Dykstra. In my defence, Caitlin has straight hair. Boyle. @Hayes do you offer good husband lessons like Holzy does for skincare? Boodram. It’s not like Cassie knows everything about grilling!

Rose - The ratio of stupid to non-stupid in that screenshot is not helping your point Shane.

          - And arguably they should know more than you as they actually live with women

Shane - Ilya said their wives are wasted on them.

Rose - Haha 😂😂

          - He's not wrong.

Shane - And you wouldn't believe what some of the guys think counts as skincare. Ignorance really is bliss.

Rose - No, I can imagine.

          - I do have 3 brothers remember.

          - When we were teenagers John and Peter had a competition to see how long they could go without washing their hair.

Shane - No!

Rose - Yes. And they got really competitive about it too.

          - They stank for months🤮🤮

          - John has a busted nose so maybe he couldn’t smell it but Peter definitely could. He just didn’t want to lose.

Shane - Sounds like everyone in that house lost.

Rose - You’re so lucky you’re an only child.

          - Basic hygiene was like a bare minimum with teenage brothers.

          - I should have known it was too good to be real when I saw you do your skincare routine.

Shane - Having a skincare routine doesn't make me gay!

Rose - No. But I only ever seem to meet gross straight men or nice gay ones.

          - You should invite me to another event so I can get to know some of those more normal guys from your wedding again.

Shane - You're too good for them Rose. You've got to hold out for better than my teammates.

Rose - Ilya would help me 😞

Shane - Ilya would be even more protective.

Rose - I'll be alone forever 😞😞

Shane - I would offer advice but I’ve been told my love life isn’t very relatable.

Rose - Yeah, your experiences are NOT universal honey.

          - I still keep my gua sha in the fridge btw.

          - And I freeze my jade roller now too.

Shane - Ugh, your poor face.

Rose - I thought you liked my face 😞

Shane - I do. That's just so cold for your skin.

Rose - Buuuttt have you considered, it feels nice. And it calms my puffy eyes down in the morning 😊

Shane - You don't have puffy eyes.

Rose - Exactly.

Shane - Rose?!

  Tweet. Rose Landry replies I didn’t… to @irealrozanov You guys really watched this and still thought my husband was straight?!

          - ???

Rose - Well I did know first.

Notes:

Who else’s reaction might you want to see? Or I drafted how Shane might know about each thing when I wrote the initial video fic if turning that into something might be intresting?
