   Summary

   "No!" Shane protests, maybe more desperately than he should.

   Sure, Montreal isn't likely to win this game without him, but they've already clinched a playoff spot. Even with Boston and New York both vying for the best seeding, winning, for once, isn't the biggest reason Shane needs to get back out.

   If he sits out the rest of the game, Ilya will know he's injured. He'll probably cancel even if Shane insists he's fine to meet up, and Shane won't get another chance to see him in person until the fucking MLH awards in June. By then, Ilya will probably have a flight back to Moscow booked. Shane hasn't spent weeks coming up with and practicing his cottage spiel to miss out on the opportunity because of a couple broken ribs.

   -OR-

   Shane doesn't quite escape the episode 5 hit unscathed, but he has a date with Ilya he can't afford to miss.
