Trouba with another high hit on Kyrou

[stl76]

Thought it could've been charging but he caught enough of Kyrou's shoulder to avoid a hit to the head call.

Thoughts?

Reckless for sure. Gotta love Schenn sticking up for Kyrou immediately

 

[MikeyMike01]

Clearly a charge, jumped into the hit

 

[Zirakzigil]

Yeah thats a suspension. Maybe now that hes not on the Rangers the DoPS will actually do something.

 

[JoeSakic13]

Probably did that to fire the team up.

What’s that? They lost 7-2? Oh…..

Even the DoPs can't drop that ball...

I feel like he was going for shoulder contact and Kyrou was going lower so the hit looks higher than intended. I know Trouba can be dirty, but this doesn't look like an intentional head hit to me.

Maybe Trouba can cry aboot it again on Spittin' Chiclets

 

[DelZottoHitTheNetJK]

I remember when Ducks fans thought that was a good trade for them

A classic Trouba: Always try to get as much elevation when hitting as possible. Make sure you get some incidental head contact if you can't take the head off clean.

 

[JPeeper]

Just completely targets the neck and ear. Can someone just end this clown already?

Then why is he always jumping up into his hits?

Doesnt matter what his intent was. He got him perfectly on the head.

Jumping is always overplayed by everyone on bad hits. Two players going into each other is going to lead into a collision, and jumping or moving upwards is many times bracing for impact. There are very few big hits where either player didn't go up at some point. I am not saying this was a clean hit, just that he has had far worse than this.

Intent definitely matters and you know this, because DOPS even mentions this a lot when handing out suspensions or not.

Trouba has never thrown a dirty hit in his life, I promise.

He is literally jumping into Kyrou's head. He has elevation before any contact is even made. The sole intention here can only be that Trouba is trying to hit as high up as possible.

I’m not entirely confident he isn’t actually Frank Seravelli

 

[winnipegger]

What a moron. Trouba showed so much potential as a rookie. He just became an impulsive meat head.
