    Summary

    No serious hockey fan or sports commentator worth their salt would have considered record-breaking Boston superstar Ilya Rozanov to be Shane Hollander’s rival exactly, but sleeping with a man who had a specific offense-related vendetta against him and a wrist shot like a jet engine to back it up was probably ill-advised just the same.

    Or, Shane is a goalie. Ilya can’t score.

    Summary

    Unknown number: Hey! It’s Buck
    Like Buckaroo69
    But just Buck
    You don’t have to include the 69

    Eddie: You mean your legal name doesn’t include the number 69?

    Buck: Haha. No. I mean my real name is Evan

    Eddie: Why Buck?

    Buck: It’s my last name. Buckley

    Eddie: Now who has a slim grasp on internet safety, Evan Buckley?

    Buck: Okay, do as I say, not as I do

    Or: Buck doles out the worst - but well-meaning - advice in the world. Eddie, naturally, listens.

    Summary

    Buck knows three things for certain, and one thing for maybe.
    Number one: Eddie does not have a POA.
    Number two: if the doctors had come to the waiting room to ask what the group had thought Eddie’s wishes were, all eyes would’ve turned to Buck.
    Number three: isn’t that what a POA is, really?
    The maybe: Eddie would put Buck in his will a second time.

    Or: Eddie's hurt on the job. Again. Buck spreads misinformation in the waiting room.

    Summary

    Yuna and Ilya might not be close yet, but she certainly isn’t going to abandon him in some random Ottawa hotel room when he’s sick. And Ilya's powerless against these Hollanders — their earnest kindness, and their insistence on caring about him as though he deserves it.

    Or: Yuna + Ilya's mortifying ordeal of being known.
