With Hockey RPF the fanfic was for the romance and the sex, the things canon didn't provide. But in Heated Rivalry canon does provide. So logic dictates that the fanfic is there to make them actually play hockey.

My problem with the gay hockey show is that Ilya's Russian sounds like he's a second gen immigrant and his English is very, very good with an exaggerated Russian accent thrown in and both of those points are wrong for the kind of characterization the show's going for

the first Alien is also a christmas movie. travellers guided by celestial beacon arrive at a crashed manger for the birth of a new, perfect life form.
Terminator One is a Christmas film because it's loosely based on Herod trying to kill baby Jesus.
See? We don't have to have the same seasonal discourse every year!
