A special treat on this day off for all of the fans. Hollander v. LaPointe – Extended cut.

[The video begins the same as Shane's segment in the previous video.]

SHANE: You want me to pick one?

HARRIS: (off camera) That's the idea, yes.

SHANE: (rolls eyes, takes the card on the left) Tag. Are we playing tag?

Felix steps out from his hiding spot and the camera cuts over to his view.

LaPOINTE: (off camera) We are.

SHANE: You think you can beat me?

LaPOINTE: (off camera) I know I can.

SHANE: (smirks) You're on.

Shane takes off like a bolt of lightning. He's there and suddenly he's not. Felix makes a confused sound before running after him. Shane runs down the hall past the training room and into the locker room.

LaPOINTE: (off camera) How. Are you. So fast?!

SHANE: (laughs) Fast? I'm just getting started!

Shane takes Felix around the locker room a few times before sprinting out again. He runs, somehow faster, out toward the rink. Coach Brandon Wiebe and Ilya Rozanov are standing near the bench talking. Shane pauses behind Ilya.

ILYA: Shanya? What are you doing?

SHANE: LP thinks he can catch me. I think he needs more speed practice.

ILYA: Mm. And you're hiding behind me, why?

SHANE: So I can do this.

Felix makes a grab for Shane around Ilya. Shane uses his husband's body as a pivot point and slips around him before running off again laughing. Bood, Barrett, and Young appear in the tunnel as Shane sprints past. They all look highly amused.

LaPOINTE: (off camera) Okay, Hollzy. Let's call a draw and be done.

SHANE: Eat shit and die, LaPointe!

ILYA: (off camera) You challenged Shane Hollander to a game and thought you could just, what, back out?

LaPOINTE: (off camera) He won't stop until I tag him, will he?

ILYA: (laughs) If you tag him. Which you should do soon, you both still have training today.

Ilya slaps a hand on Felix's shoulder and turns away with an amused chuckle.

LaPOINTE: (off camera) I'm definitely going to ralph after this.

Felix surges forward towards Shane who runs backwards for several steps before spinning around to race up around the edge of the rink.

SHANE: What's your longest time on the treadmill, Felix?

LaPOINTE: (off camera) Not… long enough. Apparently.

SHANE: Maybe ask the trainers about an improved cardio routine?

LaPOINTE: (off camera) How are you… talking so… casually… when you're… running?

Felix grunts with effort as he attempts to keep up with Shane. Shane, however, picks up his pace and loops back around to the other side of the rink where more players have now gathered.

SHANE: This is a warm up, Felix. Why are you struggling?

Shane grins and jogs in place as Felix approaches him again.

SHANE: I'm almost ten years older than you, and you're winded?

ILYA: (laughs) Hollander, give the kid a break.

BOOD: He's been chasing people all morning, Hollzy. (laughs) Let the kid tag you.

SHANE: I thought you heard, Bood, the only person I throw games for is Ilya.

The assembled players, and Coach Wiebe, gasp at Shane's quip before laughter echoes through the practice rink. The camera, still strapped to Felix's chest, jostles with the movement of his own chuckles.

ILYA: Alright, alright!

Ilya comes up from behind Felix and stalks toward Shane with purposeful steps. Shane eyes him wearily and begins to tentatively move back toward the tunnel. Ilya moves quickly like a bullet from a gun and Shane scrambles away from him. Zane and Troy, however, block the tunnel long enough to keep Shane from escaping so that Ilya and grab onto him. He wraps his arms around Shane's waist and hauls him off of the ground.

SHANE: This is cheating! Unsportsmanlike conduct!

ILYA: All is fair in love and tag, Shanya.

Ilya walks over to Felix and holds out a squirming Shane, who looks a bit like a hissing cat as he tries to escape his husband's hold.

ILYA: Please tag him so we can all get on with our training.

Felix huffs loudly and reaches out to lay a hand on Shane's shoulder.

[The video ends as the camera cuts back to Harris's view in the back corridors, Felix LaPointe is shuffling back looking very tired. He holds a hand up and shakes his head, not wanting to talk about what just happened.]
