we’re all roasting him for his entire game on the rangers sub, for the record. he was being an idiot in every facet

I would not have been upset if Trouba injured himself this play
Repostasis
He coulda broke his own damn neck. Also, scary close to cutting Necas with his skate after he hit the boards. That elbow was primed and ready for a suspension-level hit to the head, too. Amazing that nobody was injured on this play.

And I thought little kids launching themselves headfirst at the boards was dumb. Difference is they’re 6 years old.
Also the actual clip is even worse than the screenshot. He launched elbow first straight at Necas’ head.

Jokes aside he’s lucky he didn’t land that. He saved a lot of money and gets to keep playing. POS move from a POS.

I wish someone in those seats had a photo of his face planted on the glass.

Isn’t this just part of his “Give Cancer A Traumatic Brain Injury” campaign?

That is the least defensible hit attempt I can think of in recent memory

Ralph’s elbow not high enough

Terrible. Was really tough to watch him last night. And he clearly put his elbow out here wtf.

He went over Necas, but it really does seem that Trouba still would have left both feet off the ice regardless.
And that elbow. Jesus.
Both players are lucky and I am glad that Trouba didn’t go face first into the boards either. But NHL safety really needs to take a second look at this. If this isn’t pure intent to injure then it is at least pure negligence.

I don’t even mind most of Trouba’s big hits, but it’s insane to see him fly the elbow out as a last ditch effort to make contact though.

If Florida and NYR make it to the next round, I look forward to all the dirty antics.

Dude tried to hit the Kaioken

So hot or not why isn’t he suspended for even attempting this?
rvbcaboose1018
He’s making so many goddamn stupid mistakes. If he didn’t have a C on his chest I would pen him in as a healthy scratch for G3, but we won’t.
It’s funny too, when he went down in March and we called up Zac Jones, I think we played some of our best games defensively. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but he better get his act together.

Looks like he was trying to do M. Bison’s Psycho Crusher.

if anybody still wants to argue that Trouba only makes “hard clean hits” this is evidence otherwise
whogivesashirtdotca
[He was also headhunting Jarvis in game 1.](https://www.reddit.com/r/Jarvy/comments/1clykq4/i_will_not_forgive_this_ever/) Really disappointing that he’s clearly out to cause deliberate injuries. The Rags are a strong team and should be able to win without the dirty tricks and attrition of opposing forwards.

Guy should be suspended. He did everything he could to try to hit the head.
It’s why I can’t cheer on the Rangers. They want to end peoples’ careers just to win a cup. Pathetic.
Driving his own head into the boards at maximum velocity has become one of his signature moves and I begin to question its effectiveness. [He debuted it as a 19-yr-old with the Jets and got stretchered off the ice](https://www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/trouba-stretchered-off-after-crashing-into-boards/). For those saying “well, you shoulda seen the other guy!…” The other guy was just fine.

Fuck me, he was willing to break his own neck boards-first just to try to take the head off of Necas. This is more egregious an attempt than McQuaid in 2011 boarding himself. Gross stuff.
