3 months later – was the Trouba hit on Meier clean?

1. 3 months later Trouba is still a dirty talentless POS

   no, not clean, as are most of his hits.

2. F Trouba. 3 months later

   And F Aaron Rogers, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Susan Sarandon & every other NYR fan @ MSG one of those nights. 3 months later

3. I think it was a grey area but more clean than dirty… I think the league should make a change about hits to the head in general. I don’t like seeing players get rocked knowing it cases problems later in life and at the end of the day it is a game.

   Timo learned a valuable lesson though, don’t cut down the middle with your head down because our own former captain Stevens would have hit him so much harder.

4. Trouba can and always just get fucking wrecked. Fuck him.

5. Fuck no. Trouba is a POS. He went headhunting. He could just as easily have smashed Timo in the shoulder and sent him flying.

6. I hate it but I think it was a fairly clean hit. There’s a reason Timo shook his hand. You don’t go through center ice with your head down like that.

   Now – should the rules be changed to make that *not* a clean hit? Probably. Players brains are worth more than our excitement. But as the rules stand right now, it was a clean (if also vicious) hit.
