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

[Ratsreign]

That’s really been great for the Rangers this playoffs, especially in a 6-2 power play disadvantage game. The league loves helping us. Like they helped Boston against Florida. Get a clue.

Well, one thing the playoffs of last year and this year have shown is that the fans of O-6 teams definitely set the standard for whining about the refs.

It’s amazing how someone can have 15 elbow hits a year and all just be ”accidents”

Well, this was more of a forearm to the shoulder/neck than and elbow to the head if we cate about being objective

The best is how badly he got walked.

What a horrific defenseman.

Dimitry Kulikov enters the chat. "I've seen things done by Frenchmen."

Was Trouba like this as a Jet?

Yes, except that during that time, it was airplane wings.

 

[Ignatius]

I am going to stop calling him Jacob Trouba and start calling him Captain Cooke

 

[Rabid Ranger]

By hook or by Cooke, Trouba gets it
done.

If you’ve learned the concept of Object Permanence it’s pretty obvious. Combine that with the reverse angle and it’s clear.

Tell this to the league, which tells you no goal when a goalie's glove is over the goal line but the puck isn't visible.

oh my god the horror!! ban him!

the tears in here are incredible. I hope you Panthers fans were crying about Bennetts punch last round too

Yes, and Marchand is an angel…

Trouba is the type of player that every fan would love to have on their team. A winning hockey player. I admire what he does for his team and how he plays hockey while acknowledging that if my Oilers play Rangers in the finals I will likely hate his guts. But that just means he's doing his job right... hockey is buttersoft today and players like Trouba are very much welcome to keep the sport violent as it should be.

A "winning" hockey player?

Uhm, I don't know about this. Like a lot of NYR fans, I wouldn't mind if he got suspended.

His play is questionable much of the time. He seems to drag down K'Andre Miller when they are together. And, yes, strength & toughness is good. But he does unnecessary stuff.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

The key is to play for one of the "storied" lol Old 6 teams.

Yeah for sure, totally explains Sam Bennett

 

[The Crypto Guy]

oh my god the horror!! ban him!

How quickly they forgot about that cheapshot.

 

[Crease]

Rangers fan here. Not going to justify Trouba. He has the hands and feet of a dinosaur now and this is the result.

Haha. Florida fans don’t have to whine. They have gotten away with everything. Moreso in the Boston series. That was crazy. I hate Boston so I don’t say that out of bias.

 

[Rsswmu]

Please just stop. This is looney toons

Calling someone out for a conspiracy that the league is making calls to help the Rangers win is looney toons? Refs are crap and the losing team in any close game can point to them. I do not think Florida is getting away with any extra calls compared to other teams. I also do not believe the Rangers are.

Perhaps scroll through again, this time pay attention to who are actually posting the most in here. Hint; the majority are not Panthers fans....

 

[Beau Knows]

It's unreal how often this guy elbows players in the head. Usually he's not this blatant about it though, it's virtually impossible to defend this one.

As a Rangers fan any other team can have him.

If we want to get technical, Trouba didn't hit Rodrigues' head either (if he did, he wouldn't have returned 2 seconds later.)

The elbow was bad and worthy of the 2 (and would have been worthy of the 5+ suspension had he actually made head contact.) Rodrigues' sell job was pathetic.

upon looking at it several more time I'm inclined to agree with that.

But Trouba is still the scumbag we all know him to be. He tried, he missed the bullseye just not by much.

I realize you were calling out the conspiracy theory that the Rangers are getting help, it was more of a general reply, and not solely aimed at you.

But, “The losing team can point at the refs in any close game” is looney toons. The characteristic of a losing team.

As a Rangers fan I agree 100%. Not sure there was head contact made but was definitely the target.

 

[robertmac43]

That should have been a major, Trouba is the new age Stevens it seems.

 

[Spilot23]

Suddenly Jack Edwards doesn't look so bad now

Trouba: "George, the Mrs wants to know if your free for dinner on the 9th and this is the only way I know how to get hold of you."
