Trouba goes Superman!

Absolute idiot of a player making an absolute idiot of a play, smashing his face into the boards like a god damn cartoon character

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

Necas ducks the hit and Trouba flies over him expecting resistance.

Standing by for everyone to vilify Trouba. Maybe take contact like a man and stay on your feet if you're worried about an errant skate hitting you in the head

 

[Mark Stones Spleen]

Not sure what the issue was, he never left his feet.

 

[Three On Zero]

Eh, doesn’t look that bad. Trouba ended up tripping over Necas and giving himself most of the impact

 

[Forge]

Lol

 

[Diglett]

Goof doing goof things.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

go ahead suspend him, helps the rangers

Trouba's elbow comes out to stop himself from literally going head first like superman into the boards. Nothing burger play. The Cane fell down to avoid the hit.

I mean, the elbow is pretty clearly extended, so it's not a clean play by trouba. But the worst optics of this comes as a byproduct of necas avoiding the hit

skateblade coming down near necas' neck lmao. The tweet author is clearly a joke. What can Trouba possibly do about being airborne because necas went down as a pommel horse and trouba became parallel?

The double standard here against Trouba is he should be expected to levitate or break his fall by landing on his head so his legs would stay skyward. Then morons will complain his skate blade is sticking up, it's dangerous!

 

[ThreeLeftSkates]

A lite version of every Tom Wilson thread. He is a dirty player.

 

[Nyr88nyg]

He’s a piece of shit and he’s bad at hockey. Bench his ass please.

 

[CupsOverCash]

Wow if he didn't duck he absolutely destroys him.

 

[TheNumber4]

Somehow Trouba dives and completely misses picking the head he was targeting and still ends up booting the guy head.

A real special player.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Pretty reckless .... but no injury so DOPS probably won't do anything.

What would the reasoning be? Not filing a a flight plan?

 

[UnSandvich]

The reasoning would be that he's Trouba. That's enough for some people

Do these "pommel horses" really go down or do they just like stand there while people do gymnastics on them?

to be honest, i didn't know what a pommel horse was but i knew it's some kind of a thing that's waist high.

you should know better than to use logic and common sense to explain hockey to the trouba hysterics. just gotta pat em on the head and let em yell at the clouds

Troubas elbow came flying up before he even made contact with Necas

Here is the moment on both camera angles when the elbow starts shooting up

Trouba also has a history of trying to land elbows to other peoples heads when they avoid him

 

[Tob]

I'm 50/50 on that. I doubt the elbow was really gonna come flying out like that if necas stayed up. It's just the natural reflex when your target moves and you landed on nothing to shift and reach.

Why didn’t Necas just let Trouba concuss him? Is he stupid?

 

[Mirka the Turka]

That should be a suspension

Dirty player like usual. The NHL won’t do anything because they have a rangers bias. Trying to win them a cup since 94.
