Forced to watch hockey with my dad and the only thing I can think is…when do they kiss? 

Josh @Josh1625 · 40m
They don’t. This is a hockey draft?

Becca @IsThisRealLife · 37m
Have you SEEN these two??? They look like they want to kiss #NewShipAlert 

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 35m
Babe. That is Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov. They do NOT want to kiss

Becca @IsThisRealLife · 34m
Brb, making some voodoo dolls #Hollanov #TheVibesTellMeOtherwise

Yeah, fuck off @josh1625

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 3h
Umm, babe, that is literally how the puck drop works

Josh @Josh1625 · 3h

Don't encourage her

Too late. Have you looked at her Tumblr?

Go ahead and mock. I have receipts. I know what's up. #HollanovForLife

All-Star game. Ilya just skated by Shane on the bench and clearly said something to him. #Hollanov #AllStarEvidence

Sam @HockeyMom101 · 59m
Becca… are you seriously live-tweeting this?

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 58m
YES. This is peak Hollanov energy. You saw it too, right?

Liam @pucktheguardians · 57m
…you know players chirp each other, right?

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 54m
Becca, you are unhinged and I love it.

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 53m
Someone clip this interaction. It’s going to be important. I know it.

Ivan @HOCKEYMAN · 12m
Could be

NHL Awards. Shane and Ilya are presenting together. I swear he brushed his hand down Shane’s back after the selfie on stage. #Hollanov #Confirmed

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 19m
Babe… it’s been years. Let it go.

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 16m
I’m dead. Becca’s still on this? She’s relentless and I love it.

Check out this amazing #Hollanov fan edit I was sent!

[Video: Clips of Shane and Ilya playing against each other set to “They Don't Know About Us” by One Direction.
Baby, they don't know about, they don't know about us
They don't know how special you are
They don't know what you've done to my heart
They can say anything they want
'Cause they don't know about us
They don't know what we do best
That's between me and you, our little secret
But I wanna tell 'em
I wanna tell the world that you're mine]

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 2h
Becca. Babe. Do you even know what you have done?

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 2h
You’re bringing LARRY into this???? Girl.

Ivan @HOCKEYMAN · 2h
Who is Larry?

Josh @Josh1625 · 2h
Who?

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 2h

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 2h
You absolute lunatic. Right after they announced their hiatus too. #18months #IWillSurvive

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 27m
I still believe in #Hollanov

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 39m
One of my tumblr followers sent me this video. We are back baby #Hollanov #Evidence

[Video: Loud nightclub music, flashing lights. Camera zooms in on a blurry couple dancing. Rose Landry and Shane Hollander share a chaste kiss. Shane looks off into the distance. He disengages from Rose and walks further into the dance floor than freezes. Camera pans to Ilya Rozanov dancing provocatively and making out with an unknown woman. He notices Shane. Shane is still watching. They stare at one another intensely. Shane is then led away by Rose.]

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 37m
Babe, you know I love you, but we literally saw both of them kissing women in this clip.

Sam @HockeyMom101 · 36m
Yep. Looked like normal people having fun.

Josh @Josh1625 · 30m
What do you mean one of your tumblr followers? People actually follow your bullshit?

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 28m
@Josh1625 you are literally the rudest man I have ever had the misfortune of coming across

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 20m
@Josh1625 I have over 400 followers on the Hollanov Evidence Files tumblr account #HollanovForever

Liam @pucktheguardians · 3m
LOL WHAT

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 2m
Just posted a 1500 word analysis on what actually happened in that video. Read it on the #HollanovEvidenceFiles tumblr

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 1m
I applaud this level of commitment (delusion?)

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 1h
THEY KISSED. I AM DEAD. DECEASED. GONE. #Hollanov #LiteralProof #AllStarGame

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 57m
I love you Becca, but that is just Rozanov. He’s just very affectionate. 

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 51m
I’ve gone ahead and GIF’d it for you so you can watch it on repeat and add it to your tumblr files.

Josh @Josh1625 · 45m
I can’t believe that people follow your tumblr. They have to be bots. Does anyone here actually follow that account???

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 42m
I do

Sam @HockeyMom101 · 32m
Me too

Ivan @HOCKEYMAN · 27m
Same

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 15m
Hell yes I do. I love unhinged Becca. She’s my favourite.

Liam @pucktheguardians · 8m
Imagine if #Hollanov played on the same team? They would be un-fucking-stopable. I’m kind of glad they don’t…unless they both came to play for my team that is.

Josh @Josh1625 · 7m
@pucktheguardians Probably the only way Toronto would win a cup in this century.

---

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 59m
I am not okay. Shane Hollander just went down hard and isn’t getting up.

Sheena @ShaneIsBae · 58m
WHAT HAPPENED??? SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT HAPPENED

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 56m
Oh god. This looks bad. Such a dirty hit.

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 54m
Okay this isn’t funny anymore. Please be okay.

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 52m
They’ve brought out the stretcher. I feel sick. He hasn’t moved.

Liam @pucktheguardians · 51m
This is brutal.

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 49m
Rozanov keeps hovering. He looks terrified

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 43m
Oh my god. Please be okay.

---

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 5h
Well. Now that we know Shane is going to be okay (out for the rest of the playoffs, RIP Montreal), we can finally talk about how deeply worried Ilya Rozanov was about his man.

Josh @Josh1625 · 4h
Really, Becca. Really???

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 4h
No but seriously, he looked wrecked. Like his whole world was falling apart wrecked.

Sam @HockeyMom101 · 3h
I never really bought into your #Hollanov thing, Becca, but I think I might be starting to??? What does this say about me???

Josh @Josh1625 · 3h
That you’re also a lost cause.

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 2h
I heard through the grapevine that Ilya visited Shane in the hospital...

Josh @Josh1625 · 2h
He’s the team captain. They do that. They visit injured players in the hospital. Am I the only sane one left here???

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 1h
Okay but captains don’t usually look like that on the ice though.

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 1h
Also no one is forcing you to be here, @Josh1625. You could mute Becca, block her, and live a peaceful life.

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 1h
I’ve posted a slow-motion breakdown of the hit on my tumblr #HollanovEvidenceFiles and you can literally see the exact moment Shane turns to smile at Ilya before going down.

Josh @Josh1625 · 1h
I am begging all of you to touch grass.

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 14m
THEY DID IT. THE ADMIRALS DID IT. THEY WON THE CUP. 

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 13m
Uhhhhhh… what is happening? What is Scott Hunter doing???

Liam @pucktheguardians · 12m
Why is Scott waving someone down from the stands???

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 10m
Oh my god. He’s hopping the boards.

Sam @HockeyMom101 · 10m
I just stopped breathing.

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 9m
SCOTT HUNTER JUST HELPED HIM ONTO THE ICE

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 8m
Is this real life right now???

Liam @pucktheguardians · 7m
HOLY SHIT HE KISSED HIM

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 7m
Oh my god. Oh my GOD.

Sam @HockeyMom101 · 7m
That’s it. That’s history. That’s actually history.

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 5m
First openly gay active player. Winning the Cup. Coming out like this. I’m sobbing.

Josh @Josh1625 · 5m
Okay… yeah. This is incredible. Good for him.

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 4m
Scott Hunter just changed the NHL forever on live television. I’m never shutting up about this.

Josh @Josh1625 · 3m
So Becca, how exactly are you going to turn this into a Hollanov thing?

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 2m
Scott’s paving the way. He just showed #Hollanov (and us) that it’s possible.

Josh @Josh1625 · 1m
Right. Don’t even know why I asked.

ILYA ROZANOV JUST SIGNED WITH OTTAWA. HE’S MOVING CLOSER. I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS. HE'S DOING IT FOR SHANE #HOLLANOV

Josh @Josh1625 · 2h
I’m sure it had nothing to do with Ottawa having the cap space to offer Rozanov 12.8M a year, unlike Boston who could only offer 8M.

Ivan @HOCKEYMAN · 1h
Maybe both.

Josh @Josh1625 · 1h
It’s been nine years, Becca. You have to let it go.

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 1h
I’m impressed by the commitment if nothing else.

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 1h
To be fair, Becca’s been weirdly consistent this whole time. I’ve never known anyone else so passionate about literally anything.

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 1h
Almost a decade of dedication honestly deserves some kind of award. Or therapy. Or both.

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 1h
You can all laugh if you want. But things are changing. I can feel it.

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 36m
SHANE & ILYA JUST ANNOUNCED THE IRINA FOUNDATION. FOCUS ON MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORTS. LOVE TO SEE IT. #Hollanov #MentalHealthMatters

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 35m
This is amazing. Mental health awareness in hockey is so important.

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 32m
Absolutely. This is the kind of leadership the sport needs.

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 31m
Love seeing players use their platform for something meaningful. 

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 30m
Adding a frame-by-frame facial expression study to the #HollanovEvidenceFiles. Every microexpression tells a different story. The eyes. The mouths. The slight head tilts.

Josh @Josh1625 · 27m

Becca…

Did you see that the Ottawa Centaurs plane had to make an emergency landing?!

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 58m
That is so scary.

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 55m
I heard everyone is okay, but a bit shaken up. Rightfully so though.

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 50m
Has anyone checked on Shane? He must have been terrified

Josh @Josh1625 · 48m
…Shane wasn’t on the flight

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 45m
Yeah, but Ilya was.

Becca was right this whole time???

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 43m
I literally cannot believe this.

Josh @Josh1625 · 42m
Well, that escalated quickly.

Liam @pucktheguardians · 40m
I… I am stunned.

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 38m
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. THEY DID NOT CONSENT. TAKE THIS DOWN. SUCH AN EGREGIOUS BREACH OF PRIVACY.

Sam @HockeyMom101 · 35m
I can’t even… they didn’t deserve this.

Josh @Josh1625 · 32m
…ok, even I have to admit that’s gross

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 20m
I don’t care that this proves Hollanov exists. They deserved privacy. I will personally hunt down and report every copy. #FuckYouBrad

You are good person, Becca.

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 2h
Still can’t believe you called this 11 years ago… Draft Day vibes were real.

Sadie @AdmiralsWillWin · 2h
Seriously. Mind fucking blown.

Ella @Rozanovvvv · 2h
I can’t even rn. Becca literally spent a decade obsessing and was right the whole time.

Josh @Josh1625 · 2h
I…uh…feel like I owe you an apology or something.

Liam @pucktheguardians · 2h
Sooooo what do your vibes say about Toronto winning the cup??

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 2h
@pucktheguardians my vibes tell me that the year they dump fucking Dallas Kent is the year they win it all.

Wait… Becca has been tweeting about this since Draft Day 11 years ago??? #Hollanov

Sam @HockeyMom101 · 2h

Becca @HollanovIsReal · 2h
Thank you all for finally believing in me, but seriously… the outing was awful. Respect and privacy matter more than proof.

Josh @Josh1625 · 1h

Shane signs with Ottawa

Trishaaaaa @NHLBarbie · 30m
How??? How do you always get it right??

I…give up. I will never doubt you again.

Ilya lay sprawled on the couch of the house he now shared with Shane full-time, smiling to himself as he scrolled through his phone. After one of the heaviest years of his life, everything felt lighter somehow.

He was about to marry the love of his life, and come fall, they’d take the ice together as teammates. More than ever, he was determined to bring a Cup victory to Ottawa, the city that had given him so much.

He felt Shane before he saw him. Shane collapsed on top of him, snuggling into the space between him and his phone, rolling his eyes playfully.

“Trolling on Twitter again?” Shane asked.

“Yes. Obviously. Lots of drama now that you are coming to Ottawa. Montreal is very mad.”

“I won them three Cups,” Shane said with a frown, “but they turned on me so quickly.”

“Ottawa won’t do that,” Ilya reassured him.

“Who are you fighting with now?”

“Not fighting,” Ilya corrected. “Defending your honor.”

“Let me see.” Shane shifted so he could peer at the screen.

Jake @MTLMetrosElite · 3m
Fuck Shane Hollander. We don’t need him. I can’t wait until the Metros wipe the ice with his face next season. #PureGarbage

Ivan @HOCKEYMAN · 1m
Shane Hollander is no Ilya Rozanov, but without him Metros will not ever make playoffs again. 

Shane finally rolled his eyes, “You’re not defending me, you’re just complimenting yourself, Ivan.”

Ilya smiled wide, “What is the problem with Ivan? Ivan is strong Russian name.”

Shane wrinkled his nose. “Ugh, I need a shower. Wanna join me?”

“Always,” Ilya replied, tossing his phone onto the couch and following Shane up the stairs. He’d have plenty of time later to indulge his social media obsession. Right now? Indulging in Shane was all that mattered.
