Trouba goes Superman!

NYR are a bit fortunate that Trouba’s play hasn’t cost them one of the first two games. Taking three penalties as a #1 defenseman in one game is a recipe for disaster.

That might be plausible if Trouba's elbow ended up shielding him from the boards. But, in fact, Trouba threw the elbow out in the direction of Necas' head, and then Trouba had to shift so that he got his hands out in front to protect himself from the boards. They were two separate and distinct things.
This should be a fine at max, I'm not a fan of Trouba but I can't see being more than a "talking to".
Trouba is a real shit head when it comes to not destroying the brains of other athletes.. But he missed this flying elbow.
Can you suspend him for that? I don't think so

Lofl @ trouba as the #1.
He's been a 2nd liner (3rd-4th guy) for years and thank God Laviolette has more brains than Gallant and has now moved him to 3rd pairing and bumped Schnieder up.
It's just unfortunate he's paid like a low 1/high 2.
I don't think he was bracing for the boards. But in that image you quoted, Trouba's elbow is making contact with Necas's upper arm, and necas is already in the process of going down. If Trouba was trying to elbow his head, wouldn't his elbow be a lot higher? It's nowhere close to Necas' head.
Or is it just a matter of a player dodging a hit and another player trying to catch a piece of him?
2 minutes for elbowing in the arm!!!

Oh he made the hit, it didn't connect but the lack of contact sure wasn't Trouba's fault. He did his best to injure Necas.
you should not be let off the hook just because a blatant attempt to injure a fellow NHL player happens to fail.
The league may choose to do nothing about it but you can bet that at the very least, conversations were had about this and the refs will keep a closer eye on Trouba..

D'oh!
He's on the third D pair, but your point still stands. Had the Rangers lost last night, I was going to pin a lot of the blame on Trouba. He was a total liability / loose cannon for the Rangers that could have easily cost us that game. Thankfully it didn't happen that way!

Aw thanks kid. Well, let's say that I can differentiate a flying elbow from hitting, and so can adults. Differentiation, you see, is the basis for everything that humans do. It's a thing to one day learn

Leaving one's feet to throw an elbow. When you read words, you can differentiate between "there" and "their" and you can also differentiate between a flying elbow and a regular hit. There is also real time review. This whole conversation is a joke. Again, they could ban this but they don't. But it is pure pathetic behavior from Trouba. He isn't good enough to win man against man, has to injure. He is a pathetic player.
Here is an example of this bum Trouba not being able to beat another man at this game straight up:
Thanks pops. You remain wrong, but if self-righteousness is your bag, go for it.
The NHL has handed out long suspensions before. Raffi Torres was suspended for 41 games. That was in 2015.
No one has been suspended for an elbow since then, right?
Good call.

If in Game 3, Jake Guentzel took a tomahawk swing at Panarin's head, with his stick, but MISSED......even though it was obvious what his intent was......would you be ok with everyone just shrugging it off and moving on?
Or do you think maybe the league would have something to say about it?
Even though Trouba's elbow didn't connect with Necas's head last night, I think we all agree that's what he was going for, right? That's the problem.

Ah, my mistake then. Agreed. Any defenseman taking three penalties is gonna make it incredibly hard on your team.
I'm pretty sure we don't. Hence the push back on suspending on intent and not actual actions.If in Game 3, Jake Guentzel took a tomahawk swing at Panarin's head, with his stick, but MISSED......even though it was obvious what his intent was......would you be ok with everyone just shrugging it off and moving on?

Especially when the stills show us that Trouba's elbow firmly connected with Necas's arm as he was ALREADY falling. If Trouba was intentionally trying to hit Necas in the head, his elbow would have been much higher. I mean, he gets suspended for elbowing all the time so it's not like he doesn't know how high he needs to lift his arm to make head contact, right?

His head took most of the hit. Nothing to hurt there, eh?How the f*** did he not get hurt?!?
But he's now listed as 6'3 instead of 6'5.

Hey kid. Are the elbows still occurring? Are we discussing one now? So flying elbows are still things then. They're still in the game. Dustin Brown got to finish his career, didn't he?
Did I come anywhere near suggesting a punishment of 41 games? No? I am talking permanent ban. Hello.
Jacob Trouba should be going, "holy shit there is video of this and it doesn't matter that I missed, I am gone." But he is not gone, so I am absolutely not wrong that it's still in the game for lack of him thinking that, but you can describe what it's like for me, because you are.

I mean, we're talking about the same team/fanbase that deifies Matt Rempe of all people.

You have to shrug and move on.If in Game 3, Jake Guentzel took a tomahawk swing at Panarin's head, with his stick, but MISSED......even though it was obvious what his intent was......would you be ok with everyone just shrugging it off and moving on?

Nothing happened.
The proper way to take a hit is to seal yourself to the boards and give up your shoulder and then spin off it.
Judging by how long we see guys out with shoulder concussions, you're totally right. Shoulder CTE is a real thing and needs to be taken seriously.
Do we have an update on how concussed that pane of glass was at MSG that Troubs viciously hit? 10 game suspension, at least
