Not the worst but the puck is clearly nowhere in the area code.

Trouba legacy ?

Dirty? I guess I was expecting a headshot or something worse.

I'd say late as hell blindside hit is pretty dirty, even if he doesn't decapitate anyone.

Interference at best, a missed penalty call.

 

[TopG]

In the AHL?

 

[SnS]

Such a dirty hit for no reason whatsoever.

 

[KJoe88]

That was not dirty. But definitely a late hit.

Lmao what? Trouba had like 20 worse hits than this one last yr. And I usually condemn dirty plays more than other fans. This is a clean hit by the rulebook.

How is hitting an ineligible player clean by the rulebook?

That was not dirty. But definitely a late hit.

If it's late, it's by definition dirty. There is no such thing as a clean late hit.

Technically its not a clean hit, because the puck wasnt even near him.

 

[tarheelhockey]

He looked like he wanted no part of that fight.

This. Pretty black and white and I dont see why people think there is 50 shades of grey here. If the hit is late its against the rules and therefore not clean.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Nothing hit, nothing fight.

Hockey is definitely back.

 

[Three On Zero]

2 minutes for interference, wasn’t dirty at all.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

well well well

rags doing rags things.

 

[Bounces R Way]

Wotherspoon fed Othmann his teeth a little later so we're all good.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

That hit was dirty as hell. Blindside and the puck isn’t in the same zip code. No surprise homer Joe Micheletti blabbering about anything else other than calling out a dirty play by a Ranger.

 

[miscs75]

He looked like he wanted no part of that fight.

He didn’t have his goon out there to step in for him to fight.

 

[AlainVigneaultsGum]

Shoulder to shoulder. No charge.

Two minutes for interference.

 

[Idiot Stick]

das what ya get for messin with da broonz

 

[Cursed Lemon]

People saying this hit isn't dirty are that guy in beer league

 

[I Hate Philadelphia]

Incredible that he was given a chance to answer for it and decided to just turtle instead. Pathetic.
