How fired up must you be to swing your stick like that AT SOMEONE’S HEAD? Trouba is either an incredibly evil person, or a complete nut job.
VerifiedBackup9999
How did he not get suspended? Is a hearing coming?
Minute-Combination13
Ouch! That’s a grand salami.
jaypets
I usually defend most of Trouba’s hits but this is beyond unacceptable. wtf was he thinking?? Haven’t been this disappointed in a ranger since the time miller spat on a guy
Local_Magpie
Intentional bodily harm, right at the head.
iareroon
Anyone defending this fool is a fucking clown. Should’ve been a 10 game suspension.
PositiveAccountant51
that was pretty vicious, Trouba
Funkshow
In amateur hockey that’s a match penalty and hope that the police aren’t called.
DOCinLA90272
He should be suspended for a month for that one
YesWeShould_69
Suspended arrested for assault
DalinerK
That’s McSorley bad. Same offence different outcome, punishment needs to be action not outcome based
Streelydan
This is an embarrassment for the league, he needs a long suspension.
StupidThoughtsIGot
Suspend him for the year
pforsbergfan9
Rangers fans will tell you it’s just a hockey hit
HairlessDaddy
What was Shane Pinto’s suspension for again?
NinjaMaru
This is literally assault.
GreatWhiteNorthExtra
Should be a minimum 10 game suspension
wittypuppy
I seem to recall Malkin being suspended for something similar.
Yea, I’m a pens fan. My point still stands…I think
JerseySpot
Intent to decapitate=5000?
.000625 of annual salary Sure he’s all broken up about it.
NefCanuck
How in the cinnamon fried fuck is that not suspension worthy?
It’s like Trouba is trying to re-enact that scene from “The Highlander”
*There Can Be Only One*
WhyHulud
I don’t understand why acts like this don’t land a criminal charge. Can someone tell me why? This isn’t play, it’s just assault
Zinfandel_Red1914
$5000 for swinging at his fuckin head?
Let me just roll out a flying knee then! :s
Mundane-Eagle-8336
Millionaires. Being fined like the league is still poor.
AdNo4590
What a silly league where you get suspended half the season for “gambling” but you can smack someone in the head with your stick lol
BucksBrew
At what point does it become criminal charges?
Manaze85
That’ll teach him. Bet that multi-million dollar contract doesn’t go so far now, does it?
togocann49
Didn’t Dino Cicerelli go to jail for doing something like this (one day, but still)
cheezturds
This should get you done for the season. What the fuck is he thinking? And how do you keep the C on his jersey after that?
jakopz
What the fuck are they doing at player safety!? How do you look at that and think “oh let’s give him a fine, at least the head didn’t come off” 😵💫
Beelzebub_86
Rangers fan. That was bullshit. Trouba can be a tough player, but headhunting is indefensible, and he should be suspended.
Harpua44
This clown should not be in the league
shania69
If Frederic fell to the ice and played dead for a minute, the punishment would be a lot worse..
Saudia_Labia
What are the odds the NHL fines MAF more than $5000 for wearing his mask honoring native Americans?
Mijo1988
NHL more concerned about Goalie masks honouring the indigenous rather than this intent to harm….while at it why not let Trouba use his skate, what is the worse that could happen….oh wait…
thecraigbert
That should be a suspension.
AdhesivenessFun2060
Suspend him for the year. This guy just tried to commit murder. What a joke of a fine.
AutomatedSaltShaker
He could spend that $5k on a bar tab, or, slash Frederic directly in the head.
Meh.
capsrock02
He was actually fined for high sticking.
NES4EVAR
Good to know Fleury wearing a mask to honor his wife is more egregious than this.
Edit: in the eyes of the NHL
snaxophonic
This league is a joke
stevefrench63
Would have immense respect for the rangers if they stripped his captaincy, no place for this.
Neat-Pangolin1782
That should be a season.
Dry_Statistician3539
Didn’t McSorely get permanently kicked out of the league for the same thing? Get your shot together NHL
RemarkableSource7771
Anyone else her old enough to remember when Dino Ciccarelli spent a day in jail for trying to behead Luke Richardson?
Drnedsnickers2
Ok, thanks NHL. Good to know, 2 handed slashes to the head are frowned upon but not suspension-worthy. Got it. /s
To quote a Letterkenny coach, “F’ing embarrassing!”.
hockeybrianboy
We can’t have players celebrating Native American heritage but tree chopping people in the head is fine.

What a massive asshole.
That feels absurdly low.

As always the league has its priorities in order.
