Jacob Trouba's Biggest Career Hits

[@AbsoluteADCC]

Trouba is smart. He knows that after clean hit the other team will instigate. So he demoralizes them with a solid clean check and then draws a power play. Two birds with one stone.

[@brianhaines7576]

Really is some ultimate big brain shit 😂 he knows how to throw a MASSIVE, clean hit but he only ever defends himself after. He's never the aggressor (after he throws the most aggressive hit of the year for the 6th time that season)

[@B.Launders]

The thing is, the instigator never gets called much. They always send both off and go 4 on 4.

[@NakedOwl501]

​@@B.LaundersYes, but there is always a chance, and that 2 minute PP might very well come at the perfect time.

[@kliffdj2394]

I'll never understand why someone has to fight after a massive CLEAN hit

[@hoozoohleague8264]

Because not everyone on the ice had their eyes fixed on it. All they see is a teamate on the ground and a player with cheapshot history (yes I know 98% of his hits are clean, but he goes for the occasional decapitation or butt-end and/or elbows in the kidneys too let's be honest). Imagine if it's you, you play the puck and you hear BANG behind you. You turn around, your teamate isn't getting back up and the player is Matt Cooke. Can you honestly tell me that you'd wait to see the replay? A reputation doesn't go away because a player is on a 8games streak with a cheapshot

[@kliffdj2394]

@@hoozoohleague8264 I can honestly say I wouldn't just drop the gloves unless the player doesn't get up then you defend the player. Look at the Kadri hit. Perfect clean hit and Dube decided to fight lol zero reason and I'm so happy they called Instagator calls all night for that bs

[@hoozoohleague8264]

@Kliff DJ having done the job of enforcer 3years in junior and 2years in senior, I'm telling you. If it's a Bergeron, you ask the opponent if he's fine 😆 if it's a Gudas, that might be the last time he'll ever be sent on the ice while you're there, better give him the good old house of pain special and apologize after the game if you were wrong (my home ice in juniors had a House of Pain banner, it's one of the oldest arenas still standing in Canada and the name just stuck in the 60s, it's stupid really, you can check it out online, the place has been decrepit for decades lmao)

Shouldn’t have to drop the mitts every time you make a hit, dang.

That's how soft hockey has become..

[@hoozoohleague8264]

He's not dropping the mits because of 96% of his hits that are legit. He has to drop them for the 4% that are dirty. I've been an enforcer, sometimes you just hear a bang, turn around and you see a guy standing over a teamate. First thing you do, check the numbers to see who it is. If it's a player without history, meh. But if the guy has a bad reputation..that follows you for an entire career. It's like Lucic. He wasn't hated for his hits. He was hated because of the slewfoots, hits to the head and his signature spear in the scrotum

[@frankt285]

@@hoozoohleague8264 Trouba hits are clean.. or, as of recent... some I did a double take on..

[@hoozoohleague8264]

@Frank T a vast majority of his hits are clean. But on the rare occasions when 2wires in his brain get crossed, he's one of the premier cheapshotters in the game as well. Just look at the armia incident. Missed his open ice hit by a large margin; got mad, elbowed him in the kidney. I've played some messed up hockey but I had never ever even thought of that move. Armia missed 9games, no penalty, no suspension, no fine 😅 next time he bumps one of their players slightly, accidentally, what do you think is going to happen? Same when he legit tried to kill Palat with a elbow (the time Palat ducked under and saw his life flashing before his eyes). Even if the hit didn't land and the Lightning does something worse 3x per month, they still have that image in mind over yonder

[@Max_m]

Remember that contact to the head is allowed (it can even be the first/main point of contact) so long as the hit is through the trunk of the opposing players body. However, a penalty could be assessed on such a hit if it’s deemed there was clear intent to purposefully target the head.

[@frankt285]

You are completely correct.. Jeff Beukeboom did that all the time..

[@gabrielcuddy]

The problem is everythings scrutinized for head contact, even when theres clearly no intent

[@yannickbilodeau1231]

When you do it almost every hit he should be accountable for these and get suspended . He knows what he does

[@colatrl.damg3167]

@@yannickbilodeau1231 this is crazy talk. Guys, especially young guys, don't know how to TAKE a hit. Notice how many of these hits when they see Trouba coming at the last second try to stop, and they lower their body, and then they end up getting hit in the head. If you watch big hits from the 90s, guys see the hit coming and get tall. That's how you avoid injury. The hitter is not responsible if I guy lowers their body (and therefore their head) to absorb the hit. Unless you just want no hitting in the NHL at all.

[@j.thomas7128]

​@@colatrl.damg3167these kids don't listen and they don't learn. Yes, you are 100% right. You stand up to a hit. Get tall as you said. You don't duck and cower underneath them and you never never duck below the dasher! That's exactly why these young guys keep getting hurt. We used to practiced touch-up drills all the time. These drills taught you how to take a hit, especially when near or on the boards. Automatic icing ended almost all touch up drills and since then most practices are non-contact. Hockey is not a flag sport and hard hits is the game.
