Oh yay you’re actually starting it!! The sex scenes in this show are CRAZY!!! I’ve seen other reaction videos from gay men that are going insane for it, it’s so entertaining lol! I’m looking forward to watching every Friday, I’m so happy they put the show on HBO Max! 👏🏾

There is no age difference. They are the same age. The show starts at the beginning of their professional careers when they first meet (they are supposed to be like 18/19 I think.) and yeah some of the reasons why they are so closeted is because it does start in 2008. There were zero hockey players that were out in 2008. In fact, I don't think there was an out player until 2021. I think the National Hockey League has had a lot of homophobia problems. So, because hockey means everything to Shane and it is his whole life, he is terrified that this could ruin his career (same for Ilya.). But Ilya's stakes are even higher given that his home is Russia which basically criminalizes being gay. So, it is literally dangerous for Ilya. That is why he said on the roof that he is upset because he is "going home in 3 days." Regarding Svetlana, she is not his girlfriend. More like a friends with benefits situation. No cheating or anything. Also, the scene where Shane and Ilya doing the joint interview is so cute. One of my fav scenes. Ilya gets a long drawn out question that I don't think he fullly understands because English is his second language and Shane knows this and saves him! So cute.

Thank you for your comment! Is this based on something?

JuliDG

Yes it is based on a book. There are also others in the series that explore other gay hockey characters

Oh yeah sure! The YouTube reaction channels are called “Watch What Happens Next” “Bradam Reacts” and “Migz Reacts!” They’re so funny! 😆

JuliDG

Is it by the same name? I think I want to read 😍

JuliDG

Oh I will definitely check them out ♥️🙏

It is! Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid. There is also a second book with Shane and Ilya called “The Long Game.” A sequel.
