ilya.

⠀ ⠀ ilya rozanov. boston raiders center. cursed with the weight of carrying both his late mother’s quiet grief & his father’s unjustified rage. ⠀⠀

fame is good. 👍🏻 paparazzi isn’t. 👎🏻

⠀ Уже выучили мои углы. ——— ⠀⠀

your soul is haunting me and telling me that everything is fine， but i wish i was dead (dead， like you).

@uhmmaury no hitting anyone today, only because you said so.

@therozanov it's hit ON. it's an expression for getting flirty with someone. so maybe someone's flirting with you? please don't hit anyone. 😔

ordered iced coffee for the first time (horrible) but why are there random numbers on the cup.

@uhmmaury is for customer service.

@therozanov ilya, I- I don't think that's what they meant..

⠀ there is clear confusion on his face when he spots the numbers scribbled on his cup. he glances up at the blonde girl behind the counter, the look on her face immediately giving it away. a phone number. nice. he was going to call and complain about this awful coffee later. ⠀

@uhmmaury iced americano, was a bad idea. what is hit on? i do the hitting.

@therozanov ilya?! did you just get hit on?? also what coffee did you get?

⠀ ⠀⠀

@blleau twice a year, actually

@therozanov do you even rest—

⠀ getting ready for next season. rest. train. repeat. 🔁 🏒 Нужно больше. ———— ⠀⠀

⠀ Доступ ограничен. ———— ⠀⠀

if they don’t give me that next stanley cup, it’s going to be our last day on earth by the way. all of us.

sorry friends, it was a minor inconvenience and i had no emotional capacity left for it.

siri turn on that playlist that makes me want to live and not set this whole earth on fucking fire, thank you Малышка.

@reflexedives you are slavic at heart.

@therozanov accurate af and i'm not even slavic like you, brother.

marleau just said everyone can tell i’m slavic because i forget to smile and i’m about to show him another way he can tell i’m slavic with my fist.

⠀ he sleeps through most of his flight back to boston. it’s the end of his first season with the raiders but the humbling loss in sochi is making him want to snatch the next year’s stanley with his own teeth. he’ll pour his blood, sweat and tears into it. the cup is his. ⠀
