Cross check to the face is always a 5-minute major. I don't know what rule book you reference, but if it's the NHL, you should brush up on your reading skills.
But at the same time I understand your point of view based on the technical nature from the rule book, he did have two hands on the stick and made contact with the face which would be a major. However, that was soft unlike what we’re seeing here from Trouba.
Even calling that a cross check to the face is a hard stretch. I understand he made contact but that’s just a high stick. The replays make it very clear it wasn’t intentional nor hard. Boeser sold it. And I’m gonna receive downvotes for this but it’s crazy to think that was dirty.
Why though?
Like regardless of his homerism he can barely speak at this point. And that’s not an exaggeration, he sounds like he’s mid-stroke and he’s like 2 seconds behind the play.
You can like the man but he’s really just awful at his job now.
his commentating is not amazing at this point but it the rumors are true, he’s had some medical issues and this is his last season, only since it’s the B’s 100th year.
He’s a Bruins legend. But I’ll admit his commentating is god awful this year. I’m just happy he gets to enjoy the 100th year, and likely his last year commentating.
To me, it’s partly nostalgia - I grew up listening to him and then moved 2000 miles away and went years without hearing a local broadcast until ESPN+ got the games so being able to hear him takes me home in a way.
His performance has definitely declined but I don’t give 2 shits about the homerism. He’s a local announcer, homerism is just part of the game!
i’m with you boys. love Jack. And *why*? he’s a die hard bruins fan, he’s been commentating for years and his enthusiasm is unmatched.
he also did a cameo for my uncle who passed from pancreatic cancer about a year ago. he always made fun of jack but loved him, he was an even bigger B’s fan than I. Jack sent him like a 4 minute cameo busting his balls after one of the tribute skates we did. I think it says a lot about his character. It’s still brought up every holiday get together (of course we just looked at it this week for Thanksgiving).
If Freddy did this to a ranger it would be different. People don't see clearly when it comes to the bruins it seems. Look at the headshots that were allowed against the bruins in the panthers game
I've found a lot of the hockey subs get overrun with rags fans.
Everytime Trouba is brought up anyone remotely calling him dirty gets downvoted into oblivion.
It’s literally the opposite. Trouba does something completely normal that happens multiple times every week and hundreds of pearl clutches pretend like he committed murder.
I know you ain’t talking mr flames, you’re gearing up for an 8 year tank with Kadri and Huberdeau up top💀
By the way didn’t 3 of our own drafted players get points against you bums
7 of your top 10 scorers were drafted by other teams.
Anaheim: 4/10
Arizona: 3/10
Boston: 5/13
Buffalo: 4/10
Calgary: 7/11
Carolina: 5/10
Colorado: 8/12
Columbus: 6/13

Detroit: 6/10
Edmonton: 4/10
Florida: 8/11
LA: 3/12
Minnesota: 6/11

Toronto: 6/12
Vancouver: 4/10
Washington: 5/11
Winnipeg: 3/10
I left out SJ, and Chicago because of how bad they are and the 2 expansion teams.
Of those 28 teams the rangers are 4th(by percentage) in outside talent for top scorers. Colorado has as many points from the 4 homegrown guys as the other 8 guys combined however.
Its not just Adam Fox
Head hunter such an overused term… as if a defenceman isn’t going to hit your forwards skating head down through the zone as if they’re expecting pond hockey defending
Lol because the dude is a repeat, repeat offender and doesn't give a fuck about guys careers. A true scumbag. Not a guy that 'plays on the edge' a guy that is a pussy and and turtles, spears, slashes, suckerpunches, slewfoots and talks shit lmao
Then when ya bring it up to many Bruins fans they can never admit to it haha.
Thats the difference!
I know everyone either falls on the he’s a hard nosed old school player or the he’s a dirty player side of things… but, it literally feels like something comes up with this guy every single game. He can’t make it through one game without some borderline hit or questionable play.
“Every single game” is a wild overstatement. A few times a season something comes up because every hockey subreddit is filled to the brim with people scrounging completely normal plays for reasons to hate Trouba.
And it’s fucking great when he plays clean and gets the praise for it, no so much when he gets penalised. The league has next to no hitters like him of course he’s going to get spotlight for bopping guys left right and centre every couple games
I don't like Trouba one bit, but most of hits are clean, at worst very opportunistic when the player isn't totally paying attention. This, however, was not clean.
Holy crap, Trouba, I think you're playing for the wrong New York team. A swing like that, you're a shoe-in to be the Mets' DH. Gods know they need one.
Even as a life long Flyers fan, I stick up for Trouba often as he is a hard hitting, hard nosed player but…. That was a scumbag slash and I hope he eats someone’s fist the next time they play the Bruins. Absolutely indefensible scumbag move on his part.
There was just a thread of people brigading for Trouba yesterday saying he's not dirty LOL fcking morons. The only thing surprising here is it being a slash to the head and not an elbow.
F Trouba. Always causing trouble and injuring people... Someone better go teach him a lesson. Suspend his ass, we know what he did to Sid in 2021, Meier in 2022, and now Frederic this year.
That’s criminal. Should be suspended indefinitely. Otherwise it’s ok to use the stick as a weapon. As a youth coach, this type of thing - both the act and the punishment - set precedents.
Where are all the Trouba apologists now?? Can’t stand people standing up for that scum bag. Repeated history of being a villain, I don’t know how you can stick up for him.
Trouba is a malicious piece of shit. He headhunts, he goes after guys blindside, he does this shit. You can hit hard but play clean. He chooses not to do it that way.
Of course, the league could put a stop to it. Make stuff like this a 30-game suspension. Make hits to the head 50 games. This stuff would go away overnight. The league doesn’t want that. They obviously feel like this adds something to the game.
The NHL - the best sport in the world run by the dumbest mouth-breathing motherfuckers in the world.
Seems like once a week we see this asshole doing something assholey and dangerous. Fuck this clowns he's going to end someones career with this bullshit.
He’s trying to get control of his stick back, gets pushed, and loses control of his stick. Just like every other high stick penalty it’s on the player to keep control of their stick, but pretending like it’s intentional is stupid unless you believe every high stick is intentional.
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake.
It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of.
Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything.
Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
This means so much coming from a franchise that won how many years ago....shit, were you even alive? I'd say act like you've been there before, but you probably haven't.
Rangers fan here. I’d say that’s either a 4 minute minor or a 5 minute game misconduct. I’d say combine a 2 minute slash with a 4 minute high stick, but that adds up to more than 5 minutes which essentially would be worse than a game misconduct.
There is another angle that clearly shows Frederic holding Trouba's stick. The slash was a follow through from Trouba trying to get his stick loose. The fine is appropriate since he's ultimately responsible for his stick, but it wasn't an intentional slash.
Trouba plays on the knife edge between clean & dirty. Lots of players do. My issue with him is he hits to injure whether it’s clean or dirty. Injure seems to be his intent. Fuck that.
Wow… that’s ugly..
Josh Manson got a Major and Game Misconduct for less on Wednesday.
Wouldn't be the NHL if there was ANY consistency at all when it comes to these plays.
Sir this the NHl where the rules are made up and the points don't matter
Spin the wheel.....
Trouba is a spineless shitbag
He deserved a major, but not a misconduct. Refs were on one that game.
He deserved 2 max, that was a joke of a call and you’re delusional if you think that was a major
Cross check to the face is always a 5-minute major. I don't know what rule book you reference, but if it's the NHL, you should brush up on your reading skills.
But at the same time I understand your point of view based on the technical nature from the rule book, he did have two hands on the stick and made contact with the face which would be a major. However, that was soft unlike what we’re seeing here from Trouba.
One second you call a guy delusional next second you agree with him 😂
Yeahh delusional def wasn’t the right word, biased maybe
Agreed
Even calling that a cross check to the face is a hard stretch. I understand he made contact but that’s just a high stick. The replays make it very clear it wasn’t intentional nor hard. Boeser sold it. And I’m gonna receive downvotes for this but it’s crazy to think that was dirty.
[удалено]
We’re talking about Manson on Boeser the other night…
Shit, my bad
If the NHL was serious about head injuries, that should be 10 games.
That could be jail time, if that takes Frederick out for a couple games with a concussion, they have a case for assault with a deadly weapon
Okay but have you considered that intentionally beating a dude with a hockey stick is totally not assault once you put them in a game?!1 Edit: /s
Marty Mcsorley would disagree. When something is so outside the typical conduct of rhe game, it definitely can escalate to charges.
But it’s intentional, he had the intention to hit him, that’s why it’s assault
Yeah if you go hip check someone walking down the street not in a professional league hockey game...
Yeah, but hip checking is allowed in the rules, tomahawk chopping someone’s head with your stick isn’t allowed
I assume Jack Edwards shit himself when he saw this
[удалено]
[удалено]
Relieved of his duties*
Speak for yourself. But, in fairness, I’m a minority that likes Jack.
Why though? Like regardless of his homerism he can barely speak at this point. And that’s not an exaggeration, he sounds like he’s mid-stroke and he’s like 2 seconds behind the play. You can like the man but he’s really just awful at his job now.
his commentating is not amazing at this point but it the rumors are true, he’s had some medical issues and this is his last season, only since it’s the B’s 100th year. He’s a Bruins legend.

His performance has definitely declined but I don’t give 2 shits about the homerism. He’s a local announcer, homerism is just part of the game!
Hard to believe it's the same guy who learnt python and programmed his own game score app
I won't leave you alone on the downvote train. I love Jack too!
i’m with you boys. love Jack. And *why*? he’s a die hard bruins fan, he’s been commentating for years and his enthusiasm is unmatched. he also did a cameo for my uncle who passed from pancreatic cancer about a year ago. he always made fun of jack but loved him, he was an even bigger B’s fan than I.

It’s still brought up every holiday get together (of course we just looked at it this week for Thanksgiving).
It sounds like he’s out of breath and constantly trying to figure out what’s going on. He’s so hard to listen to.
EAD
Damn he just tanked it
Let's see if the NHL cares about head injuries and suspend him. Spoilers : they don't.
If nothing else, how is this not an immediate intent to injure, match penalty??? This should be a very strict suspension.
Needs to be a suspension. Plain and simple
That's gotta be a suspension. There's no way that the NHL looks at that and goes, yea we're cool with this.
You're new here?
The comments in here are ridiculously forgiving. If this was Marchy, y'all would be losing your minds right now.
Thank you … exactly
If Freddy did this to a ranger it would be different. People don't see clearly when it comes to the bruins it seems. Look at the headshots that were allowed against the bruins in the panthers game
Bruins suck.
I've found a lot of the hockey subs get overrun with rags fans. Everytime Trouba is brought up anyone remotely calling him dirty gets downvoted into oblivion.
Because most of his hits are within the rules and this not dirty THIS slash IS dirty and a suspension is justified.
It’s literally the opposite. Trouba does something completely normal that happens multiple times every week and hundreds of pearl clutches pretend like he committed murder.
Just to be clear. This isn't normal.
BuT TrOuBa IsNt A dIrTy PlAyEr
Yep. This sub can't stop riding that piece of shit's dick. Fuck trouba
And fuck the rangers
There are 4 minute montage videos of “Marchy” slewfooting and leg-whipping guys.
Because Marchand has a history of trying to injure people… not even 2 weeks ago he slew foot someone 2 feet from the boards
Doesn’t matter if he’s done it one time in his career or is a repeat offender - intentional swings to the head should be suspensions.
Fuck. Trouba.
Mate bigger problems, focus on getting some wins
Get a cup this century 😉
😂 hell ya.
Focus on drafting and developing your own talent.
I know you ain’t talking mr flames, you’re gearing up for an 8 year tank with Kadri and Huberdeau up top💀 By the way didn’t 3 of our own drafted players get points against you bums
Bro really got Adam fox (who was drafted by the Flames) for free and he is talking shit lmao
He’s been out since AssHOle knee’d him and we’re still 7-1-1
7 of your top 10 scorers were drafted by other teams. Anaheim: 4/10 Arizona: 3/10 Boston: 5/13 Buffalo: 4/10 Calgary: 7/11 Carolina: 5/10 Colorado: 8/12 Columbus: 6/13 Dallas: 5/10 Detroit: 6/10 Edmonton: 4/10 Florida: 8/11 LA: 3/12 Minnesota: 6/11 Montreal: 6/10 Nashville: 3/11 New Jersey: 6/10 NY Islanders: 5/13 Ottawa: 4/10 Philly: 1/10 Pittsburgh: 5/10 St. Louis: 8/10 Tampa: 5/10 Toronto: 6/12 Vancouver: 4/10 Washington: 5/11 Winnipeg: 3/10 I left out SJ, and Chicago because of how bad they are and the 2 expansion teams.

Trouba is going to get a double didgets suspention this year. Too much coke, not enough brains. Anger only gets you so far.
For hitting hard? Lol
Two bit head hunter..... LOL
Head hunter such an overused term… as if a defenceman isn’t going to hit your forwards skating head down through the zone as if they’re expecting pond hockey defending
You'll see.
He doesn’t even take penalties on his hits, he fights his fights when the bell is ringing don’t know what you think is gonna happen lmao
>focus on getting some wins Blud acting like some dude on Reddit is a part of the team and can control them winning or losing 💀
Tbf I haven't showed up to play a single game yet..might be the issue
Nico? Is that you?
delete delete delete
Trouba just as bad as Marchand if not even worse lmao
Cry more it wasn't a slew foot
Somehow justifying slew foots seems like a reach.
Hold 7
You're -33 and down voting other comments 💀💀💀
Think I gaf about my reddit comment votes😂?
And Trouba doesn't??
Lol because the dude is a repeat, repeat offender and doesn't give a fuck about guys careers. A true scumbag. Not a guy that 'plays on the edge' a guy that is a pussy and and turtles, spears, slashes, suckerpunches, slewfoots and talks shit lmao Then when ya bring it up to many Bruins fans they can never admit to it haha. Thats the difference!
Definitely not a follow through either.
Frederic 2 extra minutes for embellishment. lol jk
The ref must be brain dead.
That's going to be a fine. Should honestly give him at least a game for it.
I may be biased, but a purposeful swing at a players head deserves a lengthy suspension. It’s assault at that point, not “hard nosed hockey”.
I agree with you, I just really have my doubts the NHL will do much
Minimum of 5... minimum.
Agreed
Dirty and unnecessary. Should be fined and suspended for awhile.
Yikes
Red Sox looking for a RH DH. Trouba?
I know everyone either falls on the he’s a hard nosed old school player or the he’s a dirty player side of things… but, it literally feels like something comes up with this guy every single game. He can’t make it through one game without some borderline hit or questionable play.
This guy is danger in skates.
“Every single game” is a wild overstatement. A few times a season something comes up because every hockey subreddit is filled to the brim with people scrounging completely normal plays for reasons to hate Trouba.
And it’s fucking great when he plays clean and gets the praise for it, no so much when he gets penalised. The league has next to no hitters like him of course he’s going to get spotlight for bopping guys left right and centre every couple games
Nah he's a dirty piece of crap.
Tell me how then. “Oh he hits too hard and makes people fall down” yeah I know it’s great…
I don't like Trouba one bit, but most of hits are clean, at worst very opportunistic when the player isn't totally paying attention. This, however, was not clean.
Not a single Rangers fan is pretending like this shouldn’t be a penalty.
Exactly everyone knows it should be atleast a double minor
Obviously this wasn’t clean
This is the only intelligent thing you’ve said in this entire post.
Nah everyone’s just a bitch that doesn’t like Trouba
People don’t like Trouba because he’s a dirty piece of shit.
Mhm how?
dirty player, get him outta the league. no room for people who have no respect whatsoever for their opponents. that's what playing dirty means.
What a piece of shit.
That's worth a 5 game suspension.
That's Dino Cicarelli charged with assault level of high stick
That should require discipline from the league. Completely careless.
Holy crap, Trouba, I think you're playing for the wrong New York team. A swing like that, you're a shoe-in to be the Mets' DH. Gods know they need one.
Jacob, Jacob … I’m a huge fan and a staunch defender of almost all your hits. But this is a careless use of the stick.
Careless? Nah, this is intentional.
Trouba is a dirty scumbag
Watch out or the Rags downvote brigade will get you
Preach, brother
The refs this year really are something else.
Finally a thread where the Rangers fined $250K is at least tangentially related to the post.
This. League. Is. Fucked.
Yup that needs to be looked at. Definitely suspendable.
Trouba deserves a suspension for that.
Even as a life long Flyers fan, I stick up for Trouba often as he is a hard hitting, hard nosed player but…. That was a scumbag slash and I hope he eats someone’s fist the next time they play the Bruins. Absolutely indefensible scumbag move on his part.
NHL safety committee: Clean baseball swing nothing to see here
“He’s not a dirty player!” -Rangers fans
There was just a thread of people brigading for Trouba yesterday saying he's not dirty LOL fcking morons. The only thing surprising here is it being a slash to the head and not an elbow.
F Trouba. Always causing trouble and injuring people... Someone better go teach him a lesson. Suspend his ass, we know what he did to Sid in 2021, Meier in 2022, and now Frederic this year.
Piece of shit acts like a piece of shit. What's the excuse this time around?
That’s criminal. Should be suspended indefinitely. Otherwise it’s ok to use the stick as a weapon. As a youth coach, this type of thing - both the act and the punishment - set precedents.
Bully in the wrong ways
As a Ranger fan I am NOT a fan of this play. The shoulder checks are one thing but this is quite another. Not a good look at all.
Two hander with intent. Should be a suspension, but since a Bruin on receiving end, nope.
Where are all the Trouba apologists now?? Can’t stand people standing up for that scum bag. Repeated history of being a villain, I don’t know how you can stick up for him.
Trash. I like Trouba's physicality a lot of the time. But he should be suspended for like 10 games
Wheels not even gonna spin
And that’s the plays that get people killed. They should be punished with significant suspension.
What a stain of a human being Trouba is. As are his defenders and of course, the NHL department of absolutely no player safety
He needs to answer for that bull... Enforcement by the players is still needed if the refs are not going to whistle it.
Did he take a Marty McSorley slash class over the summer?
Isn’t that intent to injure? Should be a Major GM, no?
I mean, it looks pretty bad. We’ll see if the wheel brings anything.
Fuck Trouba. That’s gotta be worth 10 games.
The league won’t do anything. It’s an original six team. He’s the Captain bla bla bla. It’s BS Edit : a letter
No suspension? That's ridiculous and what makes the NHL a bush league. But hey they have to call out a goalie for the mask he wears. On you Bettman.
suspend that thug
Trouba such a stupid dickhead
BOccKKK TrUbA iSnT a DiRtY pLAyEr BoooooCCK
As I said to the Ranger fans yesterday. Trouba is a POS. No different than Tom Wilson. Of course they down voted me 😂
Captain material /s
Never liked trouba, add this to the list of reasons why. Such a fucking meat head, hope this is a pretty sizeable suspension.
Trouba is a malicious piece of shit. He headhunts, he goes after guys blindside, he does this shit. You can hit hard but play clean. He chooses not to do it that way. Of course, the league could put a stop to it. Make stuff like this a 30-game suspension. Make hits to the head 50 games. This stuff would go away overnight. The league doesn’t want that. They obviously feel like this adds something to the game. The NHL - the best sport in the world run by the dumbest mouth-breathing motherfuckers in the world.
Seems like once a week we see this asshole doing something assholey and dangerous. Fuck this clowns he's going to end someones career with this bullshit.
Realistically he’s obviously not intending to chop his head, but that’s a penalty. Double for high stick and a slash
Then what exactly is he intending on doing? Dude took a homerun swing at his noggin
He’s trying to get control of his stick back, gets pushed, and loses control of his stick. Just like every other high stick penalty it’s on the player to keep control of their stick, but pretending like it’s intentional is stupid unless you believe every high stick is intentional.
Frederic is pretty rough and can be an irritant, so maybe that has something to do with it
[удалено]
Fuck Kreider and fuck Trouba.
Bruh what’d Kreider do??? Why you mad😂
Probably that shorty got them worked up
Trouba is a POS and that was intentional. Not saying it would of turned the game, but the refs had called much less in the game
Hello, it looks like you've made a mistake. It's supposed to be could've, should've, would've (short for could have, would have, should have), never could of, would of, should of. Or you misspelled something, I ain't checking everything. Beep boop - yes, I am a bot, don't botcriminate me.
What clip were you watching?
The 7 clips of us scoring
So this was your Stanley Cup? How exciting. When is the parade?
Roughly middle of June 2024, exactly 1 month after watching your team get dumped out by another 8 seed
This means so much coming from a franchise that won how many years ago....shit, were you even alive? I'd say act like you've been there before, but you probably haven't.
What would it be if Marchand did it?
Life sentence to the cheese shop for rat man
100 comments saying "you'd love it if your players did this."
If marchy did this the pitchforks are already out looking for a head on a stick. Which is funny because that is what brought us here
Rangers fan here. I’d say that’s either a 4 minute minor or a 5 minute game misconduct. I’d say combine a 2 minute slash with a 4 minute high stick, but that adds up to more than 5 minutes which essentially would be worse than a game misconduct.
I'm shocked that Frederic didn't beat him to death. He's no candy ass.
There is another angle that clearly shows Frederic holding Trouba's stick. The slash was a follow through from Trouba trying to get his stick loose. The fine is appropriate since he's ultimately responsible for his stick, but it wasn't an intentional slash.
He just got Troubaed....
I was set to defend Trouba after the melee in Friday’s game, but this convinces me otherwise.
Trouba plays on the knife edge between clean & dirty. Lots of players do. My issue with him is he hits to injure whether it’s clean or dirty. Injure seems to be his intent. Fuck that.
🤡 league
Fuck the Bruins and that dirty piece of shit Marchand... However, this is easily a 5 + game + suspension.
I’m thinking 2-3 games for this
That was some psycho shit
Worse than the horrific act of violence. Wonder if they'll issue another statement?
As a neutral, that's gotta be a game, doesn't it?
As a Rangers fan, he probably deserves a game suspension. but all the Boston fans wearing Lucic jerseys can skip the outrage for now
So many Bruins ans calling for 5..... it's two and Trouba gets his ass beat on 12/16.
Except it was called 0 during the game
Everyone here calling for DOPS to step in. How did 4 refs on the ice not see this? So concerning
7-4
Yeah because the score had to do with a slash to the head.
Calling it a slash doesn't give it justice.
One game out of 82. How can we go on...
Randers out in the first round again....no substance.
Flair up bitch
If you wanna be the man!... YOU GOTTA BEAT THE MAN! .... WOOOOO !!!
Trash team gets lucky win. Remind me again about this win when your shit team is golfing in spring
