Since their rookie season Shane Hollander and Ilya Rozanov have been pitted against each other. They’re the faces of the NHL, arch rivals. But behind closed doors… they’re more than that.

After a 3-1 loss against the Boston Raiders on January 12th, 2015, Shane is… not that upset. He’s a little frustrated, sure.
