2. This may shock you but the majority of NHL captains, esp the ones who have been in the role a decade+ ENJOY their role as captain and the responsibilities the time with. Shane is identified in the books as being a natural leader and leadership is something he’s good at.
Sam retweeted
The problem ISN'T that Shane takes a pay cut, isn't the A or C, or that he's ostracized by his team of a decade and needs to leave. All of that actually makes for an excellent premise.
The problem is Rachel Reid's history of brushing everything Shane goes through under the rug.
Sam retweeted
If being a captain is not important, y does Rachel focus on Ilya's captaincy & give it that much weight in the narrative. She had wrote about it in HR, tlg & now unrivaled. While ignoring Shane captaincy until it's time to take it away from him or to jack off to Ilya being one.
Sam retweeted
As others have pointed out, a team usually has two As. But funny how u’d find it ridic if Shane got C over Ilya or Bood “on his FIRST year” bc that’s exactly what RR did 4 Ilya—She passed up Bood for C & gave it 2 Ilya right away—so y u only have a prob if she’d do it for Shane🤔

I can't remember who said it, but someone pointed out that of the 4 openly queer players in the MHL, Shane is the only POC & coincidentally the only one who takes a pay cut, is stripped of his C, not even given an A, and shuttled off to shittiest team after a game fixing scandal

if they dropped these first we’d be way less stressed about henry having blue eyes. you see how these look less demonic?

RR when writing TLG: I'm going to destroy Shane's character eheh everyone's gonna hate him like I do ❤
What she actually did: completely assasinated Ilya's character, making him the worst partner ever and just another ignorant white man

apparently we have the same trash can as hudson williams and it's all anyone is saying to us youtu.be/VPqBLlj7ZDg

"In Unrivaled, the guy who won his team 3 cups gets no leadership role bc it doesn't matter that he's the best player with the highest hockey IQ and proven to get results. He's better used to swoon at his husband" - RR will never convince me that Shane was a bad captain.
Rachel Reid also discusses Shane adjusting to a new team and navigating change in ‘Unrivaled’! (via @TVInsider)
“In ‘Unrivaled,’ Shane is ‘telling himself [that being captain] is not important,’ Reid said. ‘This is the first time he gets to see firsthand how good of a captain Ilya is, because I felt like it was something he’s always heard but has never gotten to see, so I think he’s just enjoying that too.’ Though he’s having fun with his new team, Shane still has some unresolved feelings about the Voyageurs.
‘The most complicated thing is Shane’s two best friends [Hayden and J.J.] still play there,’ Reid said. ‘So, he had to leave abruptly. Shane still has some complicated feelings about leaving that team. Shane’s not a huge fan of change. And he did have a dynasty going with that team, and now he’s somewhere else, and he’s happy, but he still feels a little bit weird and sad about it, and it’s gonna take some adjusting. He doesn’t know these new guys that well.’”

it's very telling to me how ben answered the question about hudson being fun. he was very careful to emphasise that he and hudson are professionals, and i think it's because he (like all poc) is hyperaware that anything he says will draw criticism and he'd never do that to hudson

Ryan Price had to SURVIVE Toronto BECAUSE Troy/Dallas made his life of living hell with their ableist bullying of him AFTER Ryan publicly had a breakdown because of his disability. Troy specifically *CHOSE* to make Ryan’s life harder to hide his own queerness
Sam retweeted
And yes I know Troy apologized but Ryan’s “forgiveness” was basically a “okay. Thanks for apologizing. Now go away.”
Sam retweeted
I think everyone should reread Tough Guy before they’re legally allowed to discuss Troy because Troy and Dallas bullying Ryan for his disability was a factor in why Ryan Price needed to leave the sport to save his life

"Ilya wanted to get serious with Shane 🥺"
Ilya told shane he fucked around a lot, would be looking for someone else eventually & that Shane was nothing but a good mouth
we know he was being emotionally constipated and understand why, but those are the deserved consequences
Sam retweeted
This is exactly why I get to pissed off at the 'Its just a romance' 🤷♀️🤦♀️ It is real to Shane and for a lot of people who relate to Shane in one way or another. The consequences for a POC who is at the top of their game don't get washed away because 'he has a husband now' 😔😔😔
