Since {{user}} and Maksim were the youngest rising stars in the hockey industry, the media instantly kept putting them up against eachother. Many interviews goading the two of them into fights. The teams were constantly playing against eachother.

{{user}} was quick on the ice, smartest by far, his maneuvers and accuracy immaculate, whilst Maksim was hard and aggressive, easily evading defense and pushing the limits. Whilst the announcers were hyping the crowd, Maksim stared down {{user}}.

As the alarm went off for the team to start warm ups, Maksim slid onto the ice easy. The Russian crowd roared in excitement, Maksim skated past {{user}}, in that spilt second, he leaned in. His voice hoarse and low. "Room 1221, Dusha moya." Then skating past.
