Seems like the Rangers employ the only two guys in the league that need daily explanations of what they were "really trying to do."
It's because of his computer brain that on the street he's often mistaken for a Math Professor. He's just got that always-thinking, furrowed brow look.I'm sure he was taking the spatial dimensions of where Necas' head was in comparison to his skates while he was smashing his face into the boards after missing a blatant attempt to elbow him in the face.
It's plainly dishonest to suggest we can't differentiate between hitting and a flying elbow and you should feel bad for suggesting it's no distinction.Then outlaw hitting.
If you want physicality in the game, there are no half measures. These are men at the top of their sport. Make it the women’s game and every game can end 15–12.
Matt Cooke was suspended for 9 games and the first round of the playoffs in 2011. Did that deter anyone from ever throwing an elbow? What about Raffi Torres?
You’re wrong, but entitled to your opinion.It's plainly dishonest to suggest we can't differentiate between hitting and a flying elbow and you should feel bad for suggesting it's no distinction.
The penalty for a flying elbow should be a 20 year suspension. Flying elbows are the works of pure scumbags and a 20 year suspension is morally fine for that. It would stop IMMEDIATELY
More like he kept the spirit of the Roadrunner alive by going full-Coyote.Good on trouba for keeping the spirit of old school hockey alive
Just for clarity's sake, can you define what makes an elbow a flying elbow?It's plainly dishonest to suggest we can't differentiate between hitting and a flying elbow and you should feel bad for suggesting it's no distinction.

i'm gonna say..... naaaa.... it was coming out...I'm 50/50 on that. I doubt the elbow was really gonna come flying out like that if necas stayed up. It's just the natural reflex when your target moves and you landed on nothing to shift and reach.
Almost was himself against the boardsThis guy is gonna paralyze or kill someone one day.
Somehow Trouba dives and completely misses picking the head he was targeting and still ends up booting the guy head.
A real special player.
His stick got between the goalies legs so of course he tripped him. It was a penalty for sure but come on.The whining is hilarious.
To be fair, Necas was smart to duck out of the hit. Hard to be certain if the elbow comes out if Necas stays upright.
With that said, where is all of the whining when Svech dangerously sticks his leg out and sends Igor flying? Could have easily tore his knee apart. Anyone?
He went superman into the boards because he tried the flying elbow.Trouba's elbow comes out to stop himself from literally going head first like superman into the boards. Nothing burger play. The Cane fell down to avoid the hit.
No it's not. My HAND comes up, with the elbow tucked underneath ready to act as a shock absorber.Everyone put your hand up to brace yourself for impact
Your elbow is coming up
