Trouba pulls a Matheson

[Huggy43]

Shit dude, I hope the other gif’s you’re making are this hilarious

 

[WhatTheDuck]

To be 100% clear.... You're wrong.

Trouba was a DDT.... Matheson was a choke slam.

I'd say Trouba's was a reverse Russian leg sweep

 

[Derfel]

League didn't take a look, of course.

This was nothing.

 

[Mick Riddleton]

Looks like the same thing to me. Canadian team so they will not even look at it

 

[MattySnipes]

FFS, that's a DDT on the ice. TF is going on recently?

 

[tsujimoto74]

That one looks worse to me than Matheson's hit. Matheson's take-down wasn't a hockey check, but I think the result there was worse than the conduct. Trouba here gets his elbow up to the head and follows through all the way down to the ice. Those kind of targeted head strikes are exactly the type of thing the league needs to get rid of.

It really does look like a pro wrestling finishing move.

Ended up with his arm behind the hurricane players head and dropped him face first to the ice.

Came player looked dazed afterwards. Hope he’s ok.

The reality is people don’t care unless someone gets hurt. I had no problem with either play personally(S*** happens fast out there) but the league generally only looks into things where an injury takes place and fans get upset.

 

[vanarchy]

Jake The Snake would definitely be proud.

 

[stuffradio]

This is a joke. It's not at all the same or worse.

 

[Sasso09]

Gotta suspend him if you're going to suspend Matheson. If anything, this is way worse.

Nah definitely not.. this is legit suspension worthy. The hit on EP was not

 

[Sasso09]

This is a joke. It's not at all the same or worse.

Muuuuuch worse

 

[BruinsBtn]

Muuuuuch worse

Agreed. He kicks out his leg and drives his head into the ice with an elbow.

 

[Oak]

Non intentional. Nothing to see here.

Jacob "The Snake" Trouba

Kind of, yeah. It's a push, not a pull, though. But it lacks the headlock and downward force of a DDT

On topic, I think it looks kind of inadvertent; Trouba sees puck moving one way, is tangled up, and bad shit ensues.

 

[Spectra]

What is this thread? Will there be a new thread for every board battle where someone falls down now? Pettersson will be back in 5-7 days and will be fine, so will this dude that Trouba touched. Everyone is fine!

 

[DashingDane]

By far the best 1st page of any thread I have seen in a long, long time!!

 

[Whileee]

When you have Foster Hewitt with the play-by-play, who cares about video quality?

 

[bennylundholm]

Agreed. He kicks out his leg and drives his head into the ice with an elbow.

Anyone who watches it closely can see that the Carolina player is pinning Trouba to the boards illegally even though the puck isn't there. Could be Carolina for interference.
My Grandpa was a kid at that game.
