I love that this episode was a lot more about their romantic relationship! I love that we can also see that they are attracted to one another but that it is more than just sex!

I can't believe it's only 6 episodes, but they've been renewed for season 2!! That final moment of representation is so important especially in sports if that happened in real life today it would have crazy impact.

That last scene is so powerful. Really shows the power of representation and how it can inspire others to be brave. The first book in the book series is actually about Scott and Kip and it is called "Game Changer" because Scott is the game changer in hockey that leads to other gay players being able to come out because he paved the way. Also, the moment that Shane and Ilya both see that scene on the ice is super powerful. They were both under the impression that what they wanted was just impossible. But it is like they now realize there is another option. In the book, when Ilya sees Scott kiss his boyfriend on the ice, the lines states "Ilya felt like he was watching all the worst things about his life getting sucked up by a tornado."

This episode really touch me because I identify so hard with Scott. I also have a career for which I've fought so hard and that has become a safety net after a very long time dealing with anxiety, depression and self esteem issues (and adhd that went undiagnosed for too long) and that career became my whole life. And coming out feels like a threat to all that I built because someone once sent an anonymous email outing me and my relationship with my ex gf (at the time we were no longer together but we were still circling each other) to my boss. While it could do nothing, it did make him treat me more standoffish and I became extremely self aware. It made me realize how people can simply hate you and want to destroy you for loving who you love and it was so scary while it felt foolish to be scared but I had no one to talk to (but the ex that still hurt to see) because I was still so closeted. Anyway, sorry for being so personal but the show really moved me and brought up all those feelings of solitude, and yearning not just for a person but for a life I could not envision as possible. It was a build up, from Shane working against his internal shame, Ilya dealing with all the external oppression and finally to Scott being brave and showing that it's possible to reach out for what you dream for, something that thought as simply normal for straight people.

Also, I'm so glad Sophie Nelisse got to show all the kindness and warmth she can bring to a role, because while Shauna Shipman does no wrong in my eyes (babygirl can kill and eat the Pope and I wouldn't bat an eye) it stil stings a little to see people get so angry at Shauna and sometimes confound character and actor.

Gracie

definitely the best episode yet

Loved the reactions of Ilya and Shane's reaction to the kiss

I meant to say that I loved your commentary at the end of the episode! I can relate to you and Ilya as a bisexual woman myself. Also, the women in this episode are brilliant! Also also lol... the decision to not have sex scenes in this ep was genius. It had a more emotional and vulnerable vibe, but at the same time, that doesn't mean they're going to stop having sex completely going forward... and that's ok. Stop making the topic of sex an awkward thing to talk about or see lol! Anyway, thank you again for this wonderful reaction!! <3
