Jacob Trouba Elbow On Rodrigues (Fined 5,000 Dollars)

[Tasty Biscuits]

Jacob Trouba sneaky elbow strikes again.

Sneaky? This was one of the most blatant ones yet.

 

[vinnyg747]

Elbow to the shoulder. Fake sell job by el ugly rod. That’s why 2 mins.

Here’s a better angle:




Playoff hockey

They managed to get a ref who only reffed 83 games in 21 years of reffing to be their analyst?

Thats pathetic.

Clean hit.

 

[BB79]

I didn't see any penalty there, he shouldn't have got anything. "It was just a collision".

Ah but nobody cried and made a thread about that which was 10x worse.

Oh and, RANGERS WIN!!!!

 

[MilkofthePoppy]

Oh no... Anyways. Cute dive tho.

 

[HANK30]

Wow, lots of fans of teams that have been done for over a month are chiming in on the team that is up 2-1 in the ECF…

Still looks like head to me from the back angle.

Clearly shows Trouba was beat and tried to elbow the guy to slow him down. But it doesn’t show he was targeting the guy’s head.

 

[Bacon Artemi Bravo]

Ridiculous to give this its own thread lol. Kulikov and Lomberg hits were both more dangerous and more impactful than trouba barely connecting on Rodriguez.

 

[duhmetreE]

As a New York Ranger fan.... please suspend him

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Sell job.

It looked bad on first viewing but holy f*** Rodrigues sold the hell out of this. Give him the Oscar, shit was better than American Fiction.

 

[Fatass]

Did Trouba even connect? Looked like he missed.

 

[HANK30]

Here’s Bennett leaving his skates AND elbowing Lindgren in the head on a hit that should have been called just right before the Panthers tied it up at 4-4. The officiating has CLEARLY been one sided this entire series.

I think they chose to not give a major because he was already getting the slashing penalty, which is everything that is wrong with officiating. Also no suspension incoming because… playoffs.

Trouba being allowed to play is more than enough punishment for Rangers and their fans.

 

[JianYang]

Only the rangers and Bob backlund can defend trouba's move.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

Players should be allowed to swing their stick like McSorley on players who elbow like this.

Jacob Trouba sneaky elbow strikes again. Amazing how the refs only gave a 2 minutes on this one. I have no idea how he wasn't kicked out of the game... I guess Trouba's reputation as a "squeaky clean player" came through for him here. Joke of a call by the refs.

Lol. Elbow hit his neck after grazing his shoulder. Rodrigues then faked being hurt laying on the ice for 3 minutes while clearly nodding his head while face down on ice to the trainer that he was fine. He was so hurt and got his clock cleaned so hard that he was back on ice for the next shift

Players should be allowed to swing their stick like McSorley on players who elbow like this.

We can all agree on a few things here I hope

1) e-rod faked being hurt
2) lombergs head shot on vesey was far more predatory and dirty
3) kulikov’s head shot on wennberg was far more predatory and dirty

2, 3 and troubas hit are all apart of playoff hockey and none sussy worthy

That's the whole issue. He was beat and stuck out his elbow as a last ditch attempt with no regard. It's a really dangerous play regardless of what the final result was.

That mindset is what led to that gruesome mclaren/zednik incident.

 

[aylib]

Should have been 5+ game and a suspension.

Bennett on Marchand.
So Trouba is Panthers karma!

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

A piece of shit doing pieces of shit things

Wait youre comparing a simple obstruction of a chicken wing to the neck to mclaren/zednik? You might wanna watch both again. For reference here is mclaren/zednik

 

[Jack Straw]

Is there no compassion for Trouba? Can you imagine the beating his elbows have taken? He'll probably need elbow replacement surgery by the time he's 40.

 

[LionsHeart]

At this point I’d say not suspending him is punishment enough for the Rangers.

 

[nbwingsfan]

I see no possible way this doesn’t end up a suspension

 

[FoxyClean]

Ban him from the league and void his contract.

pretty please?
