[Trouba] Suicide rates have doubled in the past 20 years in U.S. college athletes. 11 days ago, a PGA golfer tragically took his own life after a mental health battle and people asked how that was possible. We must do better than this (from r/hockey)

They’re people too. I’m sure they looked online, if they have social media, and couldn’t believe what they were seeing. He played poorly, but the staff saw no reason to change things. That report of the ankle being broken and playing through it falls on Lavy and Drury.
Commented on the other thread and seems I’m in the minority (for this sub) here, but bad look for the Captain. A podcast host validly criticized your play and took some light jabs at your character, it warrants no response whatsoever other than getting out there and *being* the better player and person you know you can be. Of course nothing Trouba said in the tweet was wrong, but it does not make the point he thinks it’s making and the tweet will not help the movement regarding athlete suicides. Just my two cents.
Fuck Pasha. 5’5” joke of a man with a nose that rivals Marchand. Shameful for Chiclets crew to allow a videographer on to talk hockey just because he’s a friend of them. I skip him every time.
He’s right. That Pasha guy is a piece of shit who never knows what he’s talking about, and has a huge hate boner for Trouba/the Rangers just bc he’s a Devils fan. Criticizing his play is one thing, but it’s low and scummy to go after his wife and charity.
I also don’t know a single person in any fanbase who enjoys his appearances on Chiclets so they need to stop bringing him on lmfao
Personally, I think troubs makes a pretty classy response. Just wish he plugged the foundation’s donations page.
The r/NHLcirclejerk sub is doing their thing with this right now.
If Trouba responds based on Pasha attacking his wife/charity, fine. I think he should ignore it but it’s his decision.
To bring suicide rates in is ridiculous. Insinuating that Chiclets is pushing him to self harm over fair criticism of his play is crazy.
Bad on Trouba.
One of hockeys biggest and most important codes is not going after someone’s family. Not surprising a rat fuck devils fan has zero class. Shameful that chiclets let’s this bozo on to speak at all.
