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

[Beezeral]

I still can't get over that adults (assuming some of the people on here are actually adults, maybe that is my mistake) actually think "he did it first" is an excuse that should fly.

he didn't even "do" it first. He caught nothing but air and we don't know what he would have hit. It may or may not have gotten the head/chin. We know Trouba did. It's world class spin from Rangers fans

 

[JimmyG89]

Erod really needs to work on his elbowing skills. Dude was gone before he ever raised his elbow! Ay yi yi slopoke Rodrigues

Inspector Gadget level reach being made with this tweet

He should ask Lomberg, can't be that far away from him in the locker room.

The Panthers must be in everybody’s heads.
“Multiple guys the last 2 series that should’ve been suspended.” This is freaking hilarious. Seriously I’m cracking up.
I’m telling you they’re slipping acid into the NY water supply.

If my team was down 2-1 after 2 OT losses I'd be sad. Glad you are cracking up.

I don't live in NY. Maybe it's not the NY water supply. Maybe it's the water supply of people with eyes who watch a dirty team get away with headshots. Cheap shot against Marchand. Cheap shot against Vesey. Cheap shot against Wennberg. Trouba with a cheap missed elbow. Rodrigues with a cheap missed elbow. But yeah. Let's only focus on the one.

The dude was gone before Erod ever even raised his elbow. They all keep proving their biased eyes with each post. Trying so hard to find an, “oh yeah, whatabout....”

He should ask Lomberg, can't be that far away from him in the locker room.

While you blissfully ignore any borderline shit that your team may do....

Wow I havent seen this angle. This is as predatory as it gets. Just a clear intent to injure

 

[Cuckoo4Kakko]

We learn the true feelings of the Panthers/Devils/Islanders fans when we see the reaction to the Rodrigues play. Elbows with intent regardless of injury matter......until they don't. Pathetic.

Trouba play was bad. Rodrigues play was bad. End of story.

Who is ignoring it? Where is the 27 page thread for Lomberg injuring a Rangers player?

Last time I checked, Rodriguez was 20 feet from his man and blowing coverage in OT.

 

[Beezeral]

Where is the 27 page thread for Lomberg injuring a Rangers player?

Because the Lomberg play was a 2 minute minor at worst with an unfortunate result.

True feelings of a Caps fan: Both of the hits are the same, in that I am relieved DoPS didn’t suspend Tom Wilson for either one.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

No, I dont think Troubas hit attempt on Erod was justified because of Tom Wilson.

I believe Troubas alleged head hunting was justified on Erod because of what Erod tried to do earlier in the game. So yes, play stupid games, win stupid prizes or as the kids nowadays say, f*** around and find out.

so because trouba did it would it be fair if every player to target Trouba? hes a repeat offender so how many people should target Trouba moving forward? I bet if this was the other way around u would be endlessly crying about it. Homerism at its finest.

Be my quest. I would gladly take the PP and having Trouba off the ice.

Win win baby!

But yet, there is a 27 page post about an hit that grazed a guy, and that the guy was out playing the next shift. Go figure.

If Rodrigues wasn't attempting to win a f***ing Oscar with that acting job, there would be no thread. At least, this thread would have died about an hour after the game ended.

Still, I wouldn't haven't been mad if they suspended Trouba. It would be such a boost to our defense.

As was the Trouba play, so again, where is the 27 page thread for it?

The Trouba play was much worse to everyone except those wearing red and blue glasses.

No it was the only one that was seen.

There was someone that threw an elbow and hit someone in the head and the player that got hit didn't return. It wasn't Jacob Trouba.

Maybe Vesey should have rolled around on the ice like he was shot.

Vesey didn't get hit in the head and went off favoring his shoulder. You lose all credibility when you completely misrepresent what happened on the Lomberg hit.

 

[Mattb124]

Same question to you.

I blame public school.

Cool, neither did Rodrigues.

He got hit on the shoulder and then the side of his head. Just stop with the “never hit his head” bullshit. You are just totally wrong.
The call was fair, two minutes for elbowing because he hit the shoulder first
Just stop with all of the bullshit about what happened after the initial contact, already.

 

[HANK30]

I still can't get over that adults (assuming some of the people on here are actually adults, maybe that is my mistake) actually think "he did it first" is an excuse that should fly.

It’s not that. The fact that there is no outrage against Rodrigues or others on Florida from you all is telling.

The head, if it was touched, was incidental contact,

Are you guys talking about the same play. I’m seeing them bitching about a Lomberg elbow on Vesey, but it wasn’t the same play where Lomberg hit him shoulder to shoulder knocking him out of game.

It’s not that. The fact that there is no outrage against Rodrigues or others on Florida from you all is telling.



The head, if it was touched, was incidental contact,

It was definitely “touched”. It wasn’t “touched” first so yes, incidental contact and a minor for elbowing.
But, I’ll repeat again, stop with the BS that Erod never got hit in the head and just flopped.
