Shane: We still on for tonight? After? 1919. That’s the code. For the front door. I’ll text it to you.
Ilya: Front door. Brave.
Shane: F-k you.
Ilya: Later.
Hayden: What was that about?
Shane: Oh, I just offered my condolences.
Hayden: Oh, yeah. That’s nice. F-k, I should have done that. What did he say?
Shane: Told me to f-k off.
Hayden: Jesus, what a d-ck.
Shane: He’s not that bad. It’s mostly an act.
Hayden: A pretty convincing one.

Why we collected this quote
We picked this for the funny teasing and Shane standing up for Ilya in his own way. It shows that even though they are rivals, Shane is beginning to protect Ilya’s reputation during their on-ice banter.
What does this quote mean? (Meaning & Context)
Shane and Ilya tease each other on the ice in a funny way. Hayden sees the exchange and thinks Ilya was being mean, so Shane stands up for him by saying it’s “mostly an act”.
Book vs TV Series
This scene goes similarly in the book, but show adds bit of a funny line with the front door situation. In the book Shane just says the same place as last time. The last two lines of Shane and Hayden are identical to the book. The rest was added by the show.
