   Summary

   Slavic's children have two traumas:
   1. A father who left
   2. A father who didn't leave, but should have

   Ilya Rozanov fled Moscow for hockey and overseas, but his past never left him. The loss of his mother, his father's emotional abuse, his brother's descent into addiction, and a culture where emotions are forbidden shaped him more than his success in the NHL.

   Chapter 2: Ilya visits his mother's grave for the last time with Shane.
