    Summary

    The nuclear bomb that was Hollanov had completely wiped out any other hockey gossip, but Harris remembered why Troy had been traded here. He’d been traded suddenly at the last possible second, played the last few weeks of the season like a robot. He’d been there. Like the benches were there. Like the adverts on the boards were there. He skated. He caught and passed the puck. He still kept up with Rozanov enough to assist in a few points at the end of the season. Then he’d fucked off for the summer, disappearing. This year, he’d showed up the same way, just a guy in a practice uniform. But he always had shadows under his eyes, and one time had smelled like liquor when he zoomed by Harris as he stood in the team box snapping photos for the instagram.
    Hollanov was a much bigger story than Troy Barrett forgetting how to play hockey. No one seemed to remember he was even here. Not even Troy.

    Or: Troy works out his heartbreak by slutting around. Then maybe he finds a better way to cope.
