Last night former Winnipeg Jets defenseman and current New York Ranger Jacob Trouba got himself in trouble. During a game against the Carolina Hurricanes, Jacob Trouba handed out a dirty hit that could lead to a suspension.
During last night's second-round game, Jacob Trouba came flying in to make a hit on Hurricanes Martin Necas. As he hit Martin Necas, Jacob Trouba went flying violently into the boards and his skate almost cut Martin Necas' face.
On the play, Martin Necas goes down hurt as Jacob Trouba flies head-first into the boards. As Jacob Trouba is getting back up he almost kicks Martin Necas in the head further injuring him more seriously. Now fans are calling for Jacob Trouba to face punishment for his reckless play.
It remains to be seen whether or not Jacob Trouba faces punishment for this terrible hit that he attempted to make. Despite missing the hit his intentions were clear and that should matter when looking at potential discipline. With this occurring in the playoffs and no penalty called on the play a suspension is unlikely but a hefty fine could be coming Jacob Trouba's way.
