Summary
9/9/26 IGNORE UPDATES, FIDDLING WITH WORK SKIN
2009 was meant to be Shane’s year, but, well…whatever. 2010 was going to be his year, instead. He was going to be drafted first, he was going to prove everyone who doubted his ability to come back wrong, and he was going to begin the most storied and awarded-laden career in NHL history. 2010 was going to be his year.At least, it was supposed to be, if only Minnesota would teach their defensemen how to not trip onto the Detroit goalie and end his career. If only Detroit didn’t have the first overall pick. They had to pick a goalie. Shane understood. It was for the best, really. Really, really.
Because the Boston Bears had the second pick, and the Boston Bears had Ilya Rozanov, and Ilya Rozanov was currently the best professional hockey player in the world. He would make a fantastic left-winger for Shane. Because Rozanov was only the best professional player in the world for about the next four minutes.OR: A short stint of cancer makes Shane miss the 2009 draft, and he's picked by the Bears in 2010. He and Rozy become fast friends, which is a great cover for their affair.
