His shoulder is right into his jaw. He lifts up on the hit to make the impact higher as well. Again, we can agree to disagree.

At the end of the day, you just remember you're saying DoPS is correct. Given their track record, that should give you pause in and of itself lol.

That picture clearly shows his shoulder is on his Sternoclavicular Joint.

You dont reward bad/reckless play. This is not the NFL.

To say its on his chin when Barron's chin isn't even in the shot cause its behind Trouba's big a$$ head is inconclusive.

The law says pedestrians have the right of way. "Period, end of story." If I'm walking through a parking lot and bend over to tie my shoe right behind a running car with its reverse lights on I'm fully expecting to get run over regardless of who's fault it may be.

The future of the NHL is rewarding reckless play apparently.

If im getting hit why don't I always duck my fvkcin head into the guys shoulder to get a penalty? Lets get people suspended cause I'd rather not take care of myself.

And Im calling myself right. Cause I am. I've not heard any statement from DoPS as it is not a play that needs to be reviewed.

Here's the next frame. His elbow and shoulder were both above Barron's chest. He's no longer on his feet either because, as always, he jumps into checks. If you don't see it the same, fair enough, but we really do need to agree to disagree on this one. No sense arguing when we see placement differently.

Cause Barrons on the fvckin ground in that shot . He doesnt jump, you ever hit someone so hard you get lifted off the ground? Or are you a goalie?


Barron your brother or something? You a Canadian fan? I'd rather argue it out, cause all I hear is "Reward stupid reckless play"

"The NHL announced there would be no supplementary discipline for Trouba. According to ESPN, ‘the hit was a legal full body check with Barron’s chest as the main point of contact. If there was contact with Barron’s head, that contact was covered under Rule 48.1, which considers “whether the player attempted to hit squarely through the opponent’s body and the head was not ‘picked’ as a result of poor timing, poor angle of approach, or unnecessary extension of the body upward or outward.”"

If you willing to get concussed in an effort to get someone suspended, your career will be a short one.

Ever watch two cars crash head on, and the back tires come off the road. Did the cars jump?

Cause I had no idea cars could jump

Jack and I are headed to Tibet tomorrow. We're going to receive spiritual healing from the monks there and channel his Om. He will center his chi, find nirvana and reenter the lockerroom in a state of absolute focus and bliss.

30 goals incoming, much to Pegula's dismay.

Whether it was legal or illegal is probably debatable, what probably isn't debatable is Trouba's intent which was to do harm in such a manner that typically results in the player getting injured. We view these hits as being part of the game, often calling it dirty when it happens to our players and calling it physical play when done by our players. At the end of the day, if the intent is to knock a player unconscious rather than just separate him from the puck, then its no different then a player trying to cut another player with his skate blade. Just very difficult to police accidental vs intentional.

He keeps his head up to see it coming he doesn't get hurt.

Peep the headline.

"I know Jacob Trouba doesn't deserve the benefit of the doubt after his many questionable hits to the head. He likes sticking out his elbow and finishing an open-ice hit on an opponent, which people will never respect. However, that doesn't mean he can't throw a clean, punishing, open-ice hit for the rest of his career without it being dirty. Trouba's hit on Justin Barron on Tuesday night was clean, and Barron must be more aware when he's on the ice against a player like Trouba.

Barron tried to carry the puck up the ice in the third period of a blowout. He likely thought he could gain entry to the offensive zone without much resistance, considering the score, as games typically become a game of waiting for the clock to run out without getting hurt when there's a lopsided score. What Barron should have accounted for is that the defenseman he was attacking open-ice on was Trouba, and he doesn't care about the time or the score. Barron ducked his head at the last second, and Trouba popped him with a shoulder to the chest.

Was there some head contact? Yes, but it was because Barron ducked his head. The principal point of contact was Trouba's shoulder into Barron's chest, which would've been the case if Barron had been more aware. I'm not saying the hit wouldn't have hurt if he didn't lower his head, but it wouldn't have been as ugly as the result. Barron looked dazed on the ice, failed to get up the first couple of times, and went immediately to the dressing room. There was no update after the game or the following day, but it's safe to assume the training staff checked him for a concussion."

"At the risk of piling on, Barron's lack of awareness of this play is a microcosm of a more significant issue. He lacks awareness all over the ice, and that was on display on a couple of Rangers goals on Tuesday night. The offensive game is one of Barron's strengths, but he sometimes needs to catch up in the defensive zone. The Canadiens moved defensemen out this offseason to give him a full-time spot in the lineup, but he has yet to seize that moment. Luckily for Barron, the rest of the blue line isn't playing well either, so he may not lose his spot if he has to miss any time from this hit. However, there will have to be a discussion about him in the future."
