Replying to @cameronw

the state of hockey debates in 2021 is so bleak that the number 1 argument is “should gay people be allowed to exist?” And the number 2 argument is “should we stop teams from being too good?”

I've got you! Basically, the NHL wants all the teams in the league to be kinda good, because losing teams sell fewer tickets, and they want to keep any one team from being dominant for too long bc that would also be bad for the broader market. (1/3)

So the league takes measures to make sure teams are more or less equal—the best draft picks go to the worst teams, entry drafts require some good players to be on the chopping block, there is a standard salary so all teams pay their players within a min and max, and the NHL takes cap limits more seriously than other leagues, etc. (2/3)

So the question is, would the league ever impose a rule restricting the amount of raw talent on a single team? H&R are the undisputed best players in the league rn, so is it "fair" to have them play for the same city? (3/3)

Replying to @jaimieshockeyclub

To be fair, the article is not saying the nhl SHOULD change any of the rules, it’s just predicting that this could become a debate next season among fans and journalists (an opinion I agree with bc ppl will debate about the dumbest things)

Imagine being Shane and ilya and one morning you wake up to an article that’s like “Shane hollander is so fucking good I hope him being gay doesn’t mess everyone else up” and then you wake up the next week and another article is like “what if these hockey husbands are actually TOO good?” Like stay winning I guess even the haters gotta admit

Shane moya lyubov 🥰💕💦

Sun, 8 Sep 08:04 AM

Shane: Just got to the studio. We'll probably break for lunch around 1:00pm and I might not have my phone until then. I know a couple of the camerapeople. Everyone's been nice so far.

Ilya: good

Ilya: i hope you have fun and take lots of sexy pictures

Shane: Taking sexy pictures is usually the least favorite part of my day when they aren't for you.

Ilya: they are for me

Ilya: everything about you is for me

Ilya: yes? tell me

Shane: Yeah

Shane: Yeah, it's all for you.

Ilya: good. remember that

Ilya: all the set assistants will be in love with you by the end of the day, but it's just for me

Shane: Fuck

Shane: Okay, I really gotta go.

Shane: Love you!

Ilya: love you too 🥰

12:34 PM

Ilya: shane i am so bored

Ilya: wish you were here...

Ilya: wish i had new pics of you right now

Ilya: unfair that everyone else gets to see them before me

Ilya: how could you do this to your husband 😔

1:09 PM

Shane: I guess I'm a little impressed that you almost made it to 1:00.

Ilya: THIS is what impresses you about me???

Ilya: emotional neglect 😖😖

Shane: Lol

Ilya: you know what this means??? 🤯🫨

Shane: Shut up.

Shane: I'm not THAT old.

Ilya: older than me

Ilya: you like them younger i think

Shane: Four weeks younger, you mean??

Ilya: so you admit it?

Shane: Shut up.

Ilya: no ❤️

Ilya: shoot still going okay, everyone is being nice?

Shane: Mostly. Mom's on a warpath so I think they're all pretty scared. Someone tried to bring up the rainbow sneakers again and I thought her glare was going to set them on fire lol

Ilya: they should have signed me instead

Ilya: i would look incredible in bisexual shoes

Shane: The bisexual flag colors are objectively more aesthetic than the rainbow flag. The sneakers are hideous, and they're tacky.

Shane: Don't tell Harris I said that, please.

Ilya: lol i would not rat you out for being so bad at being gay

Ilya: but harris would probably not be mad because troy is also bad at being gay, and he still likes him

Shane: I don't know, I thought I was pretty good at it this morning

Ilya: hmmmm maybe

Ilya: other than that, the shoot is going well? they are just being pushy about the shoes?

Shane: Sort of. One of the photographers did make a big deal out of my lunch break

Shane: They tried to tell me I shouldn't drink water because it would "bloat" my muscle definition 🙄

Ilya: dumb stupid idiots

Ilya: should i come beat them up?

Shane: No, it's fine, just annoying.

Ilya: did you get your water?

Shane: Yes, don't worry

Ilya: and lunch?

Shane: Yes, Ilya.

Ilya: good

Ilya: as reward:

Ilya: [Tap to download.]

Shane: ILYA

Shane: I AM IN PUBLIC

Shane: MY MOM IS RIGHT NEXT TO ME

Shane: Fuck, I almost dropped my phone in my salad!

Ilya: 😏

Ilya: i am so looking forward to your pictures, thought it was only fair to return the favor

Shane: You never play fair.

Ilya: no guess i dont 😘

Ilya: its your turn to hurry home

Shane: ...

Shane: 🏃🏃🏃

Shane: Just kidding. Sorry, I really can't leave the shoot early.

Ilya: i know moya kuritsa, that was very funny

Shane: Thanks :)

Shane: But stop calling me a chicken >:(

Ilya: you must stop acting so adorable or i will have to send you more pictures 😫😫 eventually yuna will see and i will no longer be favorite son 😞

Shane: Please, you'll always be the favorite!

Shane: You can do nothing wrong in her eyes.

Ilya: we can both be favorite bc we are special 🤗

Ilya: and you are always my favorite

Shane: Same...

Shane: Okay, I gotta go. Talk as soon as I'm done!
