   Summary

   Boston.
   Montreal.
   Seattle.
   Atlanta.
   Chicago.
   By the time LA finally called his name, Shane had already lost to Rozanov six times over.

   Or, Shane Hollander is not drafted first by Boston, or second by Montreal, but sixth by the LA Royals. The short-lived rivalry is dead. There's nothing left to connect Ilya Rozanov and Shane Hollander except the ice and a series of rooms with too many eyes and not enough distance.
