Yeah, that was a deliberate attempt to injure. No question.
That’s where old school grass root Canadian guys like me get tired of seeing the purp go unpunished . If it’s above board , do it too …Pens laid right down after Trouba chicken winged Sid outta that series a yrs ago ….jungles the jungle , says Paros.
Trouba making news again for the wrong reasons, imagine that
That was a carbon copy of what he tried to do to Ondrej Palat, when Palat still played for the Lightning. He attempted a high hit on him, in the Eastern Conference Finals but Palat, like Necas, ducked to avoid the dirty hit attempt.
Ovechkin is 53 years old , so there is that.
What's the big deal ? It's done in the NFL all the time and nobody blinks an eye . Fights are not an intent to injure ? You would call the stick swinging , maybe High Sticking ? Look at all of the shots Crosby and Malkin has taken and nobody got their panties in a bunch ?
I had to cut out when the Crosby talk started . It's getting old , like Crosby .
Ovie won't retire until he passes Gretzky for most goals.
Just like he did to crosby
Should’ve made the chicken wing photo the main photo
More like attempt to fucking kill. Made me sick to my stomach. It’s pretty insane when you really think about this play and go back and watch it. Absolutely insane.
Trouba is an absolute piece of trash. Worse than Tom Wilson
Think everyone knows how I've always felt about Trouba!!! Dude is a dirty bum who I hope GETS KNOCKED OUT for the rest of his career. He deserves it more than anyone.
Trouba the concussion machine.
Noteworthy I think is that the Rangers made this ass clown 'Captain' well after he had a history of dirty play and cheap shots. Hey let's reward this guy for his dirty play and put him on the pedestal.
You have been on Truba for some now, just because he is not a Penguin. All of the thugs that are in the league you just always to happen to pick on him. Save your breath and talk about how crappy your Penguin team has become.
Trouba seems even worse than Tom Wilson at his worst – a projectile!!!
Nothing happened????
Thug Throwback!
On that Brodeur-Avery encounter – it ended with Jagr setting up Avery for a goal. Ouch!
If there's any justice, Trouba will have headaches and neck pains after this attempt
Nevermind the fact that Trouba sent himself, with intent to injure, with such force the left skate nearly 7 feet in the air in this picture is about to come down on the back of Necas head. I dont think it was on purpose but the very nature of what Trouba attempted caused it to happen and now Necas has lifelong damage upstairs. And anyone whose fans of the Pens knows how scary that is, having seen Sids long break for the same reason.
