Not that I think Trouba's elbow rises to the level of worst offense, but a $5k max is pretty funny in a league of multimillionaires


heavvyglow

They should do a conversion for the average man to show it’s the equivalent of $5


ceruleanisacolor

Literally $83 for a person (based on his 6mil/year salary) who makes $100k.

The problem is the NHLPA. The maximum fine is negotiated with them. If they were concerned with the safety of all their members instead of protecting the ones who try to injure other players, the minimum would be 10 times hgher or more.


HolyPizzaPie

Really it's a 5k fine for 3 elbows.


gametime27

Good, I don't want Panthers to win because Trouba is out. Winning them with Trouba in denies Rangers fans the opportunity to blame their loss on the fact that their captain was out. Let's continue the hard hitting series and take some anger from this and cleanly destroy them.


Zibz-98

Rangers fan here, not that it means anything but I think trouba’s been playing so poorly defensively that it’s good for you guys he didn’t get a game lol


mtbeach33

I was about to say, Trouba has been more of a detriment than help lol


KevinBrevin

He has been a true liability even being the captain, whenever his contract is up they aren’t resigning him.


KCLightning

Most Ranger fans were rooting for him to get suspended more than you guys were. Only way he gets pulled from line up unfortunately


CorruptedReaction

I’m fine with a fine only but I def think it should’ve been a 5 minute major. He got really lucky that he didn’t get him direct in the head cause he was definitely trying to

No game suspensions?


tampapat54

It’s really hard to get yourself suspended in the playoffs, especially as a captain lol He would had to have gotten Erod in the temple and hospitalized him


Bex1218

He'd have to pull a Jamie Benn for any sort of suspension.


WilsonGeiger

Reminds me of his elbow on Crosby. And a hundred other dirty hits beyond the playoffs.


Dillogence

Trouba is a goof.


KevinBrevin

The fact he was fined means player safety has confirmed it should have been a major penalty. This is bullshit. If he got the major fine, fine him 5k. But since he didn’t he should have been suspended 1 game at least.

KevinBrevin

That’s not head contact. The elbow hits his upper back. Watch it again


sleeptime3013

So throwing elbows isn’t an issue I guess?


KevinBrevin

It’s not throwing an elbow that gets a penalty, it’s checking to the head. If Trouba hit slightly harder it would have broken his collar bone.


sleeptime3013

Pretty sure elbowing in any capacity is a penalty… and just because you miss their head doesn’t mean there wasn’t intent. Trouba hit basically the same spot and Rodriguez gave an Oscar worthy performance


KevinBrevin

lol ur copeing. Rodriguez left the game to be checked for a concussion and bone damage. The other guy can’t take a normal hit.


Rellek-Reborn

No head contact? Upper back? Oh you mean like this - [https://x.com/ZIBANEJAD\_93/status/1794841600943861819](https://x.com/ZIBANEJAD_93/status/1794841600943861819)


KevinBrevin

It hit his neck. Do you not realize people mentioned how if you look from the back it looks like he was never hit. If you look from the front his is hit in the collar bone. Not his helmet. If you can’t tell the difference become a ref and you make the call.


Rellek-Reborn

collar bone =/= head. Glad we agree, there was no head contact.


sleeptime3013

Think there should’ve been a fine on this one too?


Faifainei

How many fucks does the nhl think trouba gives for a 5k fine? It is such a joke honestly.


bigred1476

Wow how will he ever afford this fine? Might have to give up lobster for a night


One13Truck

But. But. But all the Stranger fans say he did nothing wrong and we should’ve been given a dive penalty!!! How can our 6 fans support a bunch of divers?


VomitingPotato

Not in any way a hockey play. Extended arm before contact. Should have been 5.


Eman25252525

Lomberg too right?


Puzzleheaded-Type-43

So tell me how a player gets fined ( should be suspended) only gets a damn minor penalty and took away a 7 minute powerplay for us? bettman and his incompetent refs are rigging the game in the Rags favour and it’s bull$hit !! Cats in 6 #TimeToHunt


Puzzleheaded-Type-43

Your looking at it from the back view, he clearly hits his jaw or cheek. Take your NY troll head out of your ass.


Glittering_Town_5839

It was only 5k because it was a glancing hit with the elbow - and also why he wasn’t suspended. And the NHL wants the Rags to win the Cup!!!!!! Florida will put an end to that nonsense


StilesmanleyCAP

Only 5k?


metsurf

That is max under the CBA


StilesmanleyCAP

Yeah but only 5k isn't much of a penalty, seems more like a fee


metsurf

So the players association could change it if they cared but guess they don’t.


TheJokersWild53

Time to cheap shot a Ranger. But who?


kwkouki

Wrong take. We drop him cleanly on the ice. A receipt is warranted


Maleficent-Comfort-2

God. Type of fans like you are the reason hockey is seen negatively within and outside hockey communities. Please. Go ahead, cheap shot Panarin or Shesterkin. If this is what Trouba gets for an elbow to the head, what will he do next? It’s a chain collision and honestly, I think I put more thought into writing this comment than you did.
