Seth Jarvis haunts me.

Care to elaborate? Since we're in this topic, I assume you mean a Carolina fan being concerned that one of our players was injured? Which is nothing to celebrate, and if you do that with any player, you need to take a hard look in the mirror. Or that our season ended? I can't say I'm surprised because as I've said on HF, there have been concerns/problems with my team this year. At the end of the day, this is just a sport though.
Trouba is so unlucky, I really feel bad for him.
Almost Tom Wilson level of bad luck.

Hope Jarvis is alright after the Trouba hit. Real fine player especially on the PP.
The hit looked clean to me, just as all his other hits/collisions. Hockey fans under 30 don't appreciate what Trouba brings to the table.
He never elbowed Crosby which drew the most controversy (because it was Sid) no matter what word salad @frisco spews, as well what Pens fans/Crosby fanboys will try & "reveal" in this thread.
Myself and a few other Rangers fans literally proved the elbow screenshot was just an optical illusion, and Pens fans suddenly didn't care enough to argue it I guess. Then the thread got closed after 65 f***ing pages.

I think people are just coming around to the idea that head trauma is not an exciting part of the sport now that we have seen the repercussions of it. This hit was clean but it really shouldn't be and I don't see it being so in 5-10 years time. Any contact with the head, incidental or not, should be penalized in the same way an accidental high stick is still a penalty. There is no need to be blowing players up to separate them from the puck.

Dubas traded a 1st round pick just to dodge 1 year of 6.5 mil only to still lose in the first round (PO qualifier). That pick ended up being 13 OA.
He then traded another 1st round pick for an injured foligno and we lost again in the first round. That pick was 26th.
Has to be one of the worst gms in the league.
Who else could inherit such a promising team and have exactly zero series wins after four years?

I just hope the kid is okay. He has a bright future.

I understand the sentiment, but it's impossible to take all potential head injuries out of the game without eliminating hitting entirely. The game is just too fast and the players too big.

He did. He took the hit to make the necessary play.
Bumping this thread to do victory laps over the injury is gross behavior.

The necessary play? He created nothing, got rocked, and left the game. Rangers ended up with a powerplay and scored.

What do you mean he created nothing? He created a scoring opportunity for Staal right in front of the net, which went wide with Shesterkin leaning the wrong way.
If Staal gets even a little bit better stick on that puck, it’s a 1-1 game. Jarvis knew he was going to get hit making that play, but it’s a sacrifice you make when you’re trailing in a Game 7.
The penalty had nothing to do with Jarvis, it was Necas who made the low-IQ move of jumping his shift way too early and directly into an oncoming rush. That’s a penalty 100% of the time and has nothing to do with the man who’s coming off the ice.
Hitting would have to cease to exist under these parameters.

Very unfortunate to see him go down like that. I am undecided on the hit... but I do think it was a pretty pure hockey play. I wouldnt hate a 1 game suspension for Trouba, although I am probably more on the "player protection" side than most (including the league).
Either way, hopefully it was just a case of whiplash and Jarvis will recover relatively quickly and seamlessly. Hell of a player, he could have gone any pick after 6 and I wouldn't have blinked. He's a top 6 lock and has the ability to he a star imo.

Also younger, smaller players who aren’t entirely physically mature are at risk of big hits from much larger veteran players and it’s not just Jarvis. We’ve seen Jack Hughes get dinged a couple times. There has been talk that the Rangers Brennan Othmann might have a shot next year. He’s not so much small as skinny. I would think there would be a risk for him too. Size and strength can matter.

I think it’s a really bad idea. at that point you should just remove hitting. the game is too fast and there are a lot of shorter players in the game where it becomes very tough to hit them without making any head contact just due to the size difference.
players have to be better about keeping their heads up and protecting themselves. I’d rather see mandatory full cages than neutering hitting
Jarvis is sensational. There are some weird posts about what should the canes do in the off-season and adding star players.
Maybe have another year of Svech, Aho and Jarvis. That’s going to be an insane line for years.

I don't see any way to get rid of those hits without getting rid of most hitting altogether
Just like...how? Trouba stepped up at the right time, tucked his arm against his body, leaned into the hit, it was textbook through and through, Jarvis even had his head up so it wasn't like Trouba blindsided him.
If those kind of hits are illegal then there's just going to be no real hitting allowed anymore
I get it with the "don't want to see someone hurt" but again I think it just really would mean a re-imagining of the game as we know it

Crazy that all of a sudden Trouba is just injuring people left and right these two series. What a horribly unlucky coincidence for poor ol' Trouba.
At least he'll be able to sleep well at night knowing that the permanent brain damage he's dishing out to these guys is just because of bad luck and has nothing at all to do with him targeting...
