Trouba with another high hit on Kyrou

[BigDaddyLurch]

Bird?

 

[tarheelhockey]

It’s so weird how this one guy keeps coincidentally making all the hits that just happen to accidentally catch people in the head.

 

[wetcoast]

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

Thoughts?

The NHL needs to get this bum out of the game already, guy is a headhunter.

 

[Chainshot]

When someone finally does something dirty to him, it's a debate whether to give it the Top Gear "Oh no, anyway" and the Seinfeld "That's a shame" first.

 

[ijuka]

Well that's a textbook charging.

 

[ItWasJustified]

If he hadn't left the ice and jumped he could've steered his skates slightly to the left and made a great hit.

 

[Leafs87]

Very borderline at worse imo

 

[Bouboumaster]

Dude even went airborn for max impact

He's a multi-recidivist at this point in time, the guy just don't learn

Give him 15+, if not for Trouba to learn, to protect all the other players from such garbage hits

Well that's just unfortunate...

Gutless plug gonna plug

 

[Terry Yake]

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

he's brought toughness to a very soft team.......so yeah, don't mind the trade at all

...or this one:

Oh look, a terrible human being who consistently intends on hurting people performs another dirty act simply designed to hurt someone,

I for one am shocked.

Oh look, hockey fans that are clearly missing essential brain cells are defending said act.

I for one am shocked.

...you must get "shocked" a lot...

 

[wunderpanda]

using super slow motion clips as rage bait makes me think trouba did nothing wrong. post the full speed clip.

 

[Whoot Whoot]

Suddenly it looks dirty

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

At this point just throw him and Rempe 1 on 1 on the ice and just let them headshot each other into oblivion.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

He deserves ten games for this. Reminds me of the Torres hit.

 

[Il Stugotz]

Seems like throwing this hit with the left shoulder would’ve been a lot less risky

At least he kept his elbow tucked

 

[Xerloris]

...Floater...unengaged...cherry-picker...how many do you want??...

None of those are even true. Being on a line with Holloway has really had a huge impact on him. Not only did we get Broberg and Holloway but Holloway has a large part to do with Kyrou being a much better player now.

I mean did he hit the head or not, that's really all that matters.

I’m a Ducks fan and still have no problem with that trade at all. Like having Trouba on the team.

 

[Rec T]

I'm a Ducks fan, was appreciative of the trade, and thinks that the goof needs to go sit for 2-3 games. Maybe, maybe if he hadn't jumped into the hit he could claim that he just missed (& then 1-2 games), but jumping in negates that.

But with the Dept. of Random Justice...who the hell knows.

Agreed but in this incident down by 5 Trouba should have just crosschecked some guy after the whistle instead of going for a head hit here. Hopefully we can agree on that part as well

 

[thebestnic]

Imagine not getting assets to take on Trouba's contract

 

[StrangeVision]

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.

It's interesting that there always seem to be players who consistently manage to throw dirty hits "by accident." Makes you wonder whether they're trying to learn how to throw cleaner hits or just learning how to make dirty hits look cleaner. Pretty sure it's the latter.
