Summary
At some point, with JJ and Carmichael punching each other on the other side of the rink, Marleau skates nonchalantly closer to Shane. He doesn't seem aggressive, but Shane braces himself just in case.
Marleau surprises him, though. He talks under his breath, not even a chirp. "Hollander, are you flying back tomorrow?"
Shane looks at him. Most of the cameras are looking away and Marleau is clearly trying to be surreptitious. Shane nods at him. Marleau looks away and he says. "I'll go to the bar in your hotel at eleven thirty. I want to talk to you about something. Be there, yeah?"
Before Shane can actually answer, he skates away.
Cliff and Shane have an enlightening conversation. Shane might need to kill Ilya afterwards.

Or: Luca Haas decided to lose his virginity and Cliff Marleau decided to try man and after an amazing night Ilya Rozanov finds out and freaks out, because Luca Haas is his baby son, and no one should touch him.
