Trouba goes Superman!

[Avsfan1921]

People calling for a suspension lol…

Although him and shesty may want to consider opening their own airline with all that high flying!

I’d be willing to bet that 75% of Ranger fans would be more than happy if Trouba received a lifetime ban. He’s done nothing but take dumb penalties while occasionally acting as a meat shield. We can rationalize this all we want based on Necas sliding, but the fact of the matter is that Trouba has a history of plays like this and he now focuses even more on them because he’s a third pair guy at best who knows that this is his role now.

Imagine what this team would look like if they had another $8M to spend on useful players.

 

[Machinehead]

If they suspend Trouba, we're going 16-0.

 

[LouJersey]

Thoughts?

Don't bail when you are gonna get hit.

 

[max21]

The whining is hilarious.
To be fair, Necas was smart to duck out of the hit. Hard to be certain if the elbow comes out if Necas stays upright.
With that said, where is all of the whining when Svech dangerously sticks his leg out and sends Igor flying? Could have easily tore his knee apart. Anyone?

Uhh is this a joke?

 

[BB79]

Superman? More like Stupidman. Dumb play, could have paralyzed himself going head first

If you're that concerned about knees, take a look at Trouba's.

 

[CanesUltimate11]

go ahead suspend him, helps the rangers

As bad as Carolina's PP has been the Rangers should want Trouba out there every shift taking penalties. It would be nothing but shutouts for the Rangers.

 

[OurlordAndSaviorKuch]

Thoughts?

That looks like intent to injure honestly. Literally launched himself with a chicken wing of an elbow. Should have been called honestly. But I guess since the canes player ducked it and he just went into the glass he got enough punishment with that.

 

[Idiot Stick]

obviously if Necas didnt embellish the dive Trouba wouldnt have gotten in such a pickle, should the league suspend Necas?

 

[CanesUltimate11]

Who cares? I don’t have a problem what Necas did. It’s embarrassing to see some of the other posts on here, though.



These are the posts that are embarrassing. Good on Necas for ducking, but when you go down like that and a guy knows he’s f***ed, he’s going to try and do anything to not break his neck.

But whatever. Hope the Canes are as hilariously focused on this as some seem to be. That’d be great.

How exactly is extending one's elbow towards a guys head supposed to help not break your own neck? Plus, once the elbow misses you see Trouba reach out his hands to the boards to catch himself.

 

[saintunspecified]

It's like Downie on McAmmond, but he missed.

Downie was a very athletic psychopath. I've seen some dirty stuff from Trouba, but the one thing I could tell about this play is that it was not athletic.

 

[Ezekial]

It looks like he bends his knees to keep his blades from the back of Necas' legs. Then it could have gone much, much worse.

Yes, Trouba was just being considerate. He's a very considerate human being. Very astute observation.

 

[SPV]

There’s some real, comments in here. LOL.

I have no horses in this race, so I think I can be pretty objective.
Necas looks like he’s near 45 degrees when he sees Trouba, the only thing he can do to protect himself is duck. He can’t brace himself, and it’s fairly obvious his head is the target, probably to him as well at that point.
Trouba literally leaves his feet and extends his left elbow towards Necas head, he doesn’t put it up to protect himself from the boards, because it actually starts to come down when he realizes he’s gonna hit them, and he actually hits the boards with his left glove, head, and other shoulder.
There’s no real contact here, other than the knee dropping on Necas, which I don’t know if there’s a NHL rule for knee drops? LOL.
So, there’s no penalty, no fine, no suspension.
But we all know he was trying to elbow the guy in a vulnerable position with a leaving his feet hit, let’s not pretend otherwise.

The scariest part is the skate blade, no reason for a skate blade to get that close to the back of someone’s head, especially after what just happened. Get mandatory neck guards and teach players not to be so damn stupid about other player’s safety.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Necas ducks the hit and Trouba flies over him expecting resistance.

Standing by for everyone to vilify Trouba. Maybe take contact like a man and stay on your feet if you're worried about an errant skate hitting you in the head

He did throw an elbow toward Necas head as he's flying by, and this is coming from someone who hates the Canes.

Yeah, once the elbow missed he had to try something else. Do you expect him to just say, "well, that failed - time to die."

 

[Carbooja]

Did the Jets win the Trouba trade?

Jets loss to Avs last week:

Did the Jets lose the Trouba trade?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

that is an all time meme moment lmaoooo

It's one of the funniest things I've ever seen in hockey. It's like Looney Tunes level comedy.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

The elbow is already extended and going towards Necas’ head. 3 games.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Good on trouba for keeping the spirit of old school hockey alive

 

[Lempo]

The penitent man is humble.

 

[93gilmour93]

If Trouba had connected with that elbow he would probably be done for the playoffs and caused a bad injury
