New York Rangers Rough Stuff Versus Pittsburgh Penguins | TNT Feed | NYR vs PIT | Mar 12th, 2023

After beating the Sabres the night before, the Rangers started off a bit slow in Pittsburgh the next afternoon. Rangers began to up their physical game which was highlighted by Jacob Trouba's open ice hit against Alex Nylander. As usual, the soft Penguins chased Trouba down and Malkin cross checked Troubs to put his team down a man, because apparently hitting a Penguins player is illegal? Later on, Pittsburgh native Vincent Trocheck lays out Evgeni Malkin at center ice, to which Malkin retaliated with a hit of his own in his offensive zone. Trocheck would hit Malkin a bit late and rush down the ice on a 3-2, to which Kreider was open for the pass to score the game tying goal, much to the dismay of the Pittsburgh crowd. Malkin tried to milk a penalty call by laying down on the ice but to no avail. Although the Rangers lost in OT, they garnered a point and their overall play improved after the altercations.

Kreider scoring after Malkin tries to sell that tiny hit from Trocheck was amazing

[@GiantsFan1734]

Looking back on the season, we lost this game in OT but Trocheck decking Malkin twice and then that Kreider goal immediately after was electrifying. It’s cool tho considering we beat the absolute piss out of shittsburgh later that week

[@jamesjudelson8898]

Rangers fan here. That Trouba hit was clean as a whistle, textbook. Hard doesn't mean dirty. The Trocheck hit from behind on Malkin, though, not so clean imo. That one felt more like a cheap shot, guessing he felt Malkin's hit from behind wasn't clean as well. Definitely a playoff hockey vibe between these two squads

[@geoffreygnosis]

I haven't seen Trouba lay a dirty hit yet.... Some big monster ones, yes, but I have not seen him headhunt, or be dirty, according to NHL rules once..... I just call him "Captain Crunch"

[@ji3946]

do these announcers think people are blind? Malkin hit from behind first and got the same in return

[@geoffreygnosis]

ESPN is so anti hockey (and always has been), it's shocking they got the contract to air NHL games and not shocking at all how bad they are at knowing the game, players and teams, and I thought NBC had some awful announcers! ESPN is a joke. And we have so many new hockey fans that don't seem to understand how to differentiate between a dirty hit and a clean one. Ie Trouba is one of the best at big clean hits that people all want to claim are dirty... I have yet to see a dirty hit from him... Like they taught us in pee wee, keep your head up when you have the puck.

[@frankt285]

Clearly a clean check/hit from The Trouba Train and, Vinny T. .. It's hockey not figure skating.. Why don't player's keep their head up as taught from pee-wee hockey??

[@ourgreatsurrenderinchiefjo4245]

Malkin takes a little nap rangers for the goal 😂😂😂

[@geoffreygnosis]

Great hits. That's what this sport is all about...

[@Stevedrums741]

My hatred of the Pens is probably unhealthy and comes from something in my childhood!!!

[@FloatingAppleProductions]

You aren't the only one

[@juston4610]

No physical play equals 2014 Stanley cup finals NO CUP! Let's go rangers.

[@whaheydelee]

Once they didn't call interference against King on Hank I knew it was over. Sucks.

[@irlnd32]

Ah, bringing back the old days of NBC penguins slobbering by the broadcast crew….lol.

[@esserkids9485]

Poor baby Malkin

[@AdamBassick]

1:13 that’s just a pass you should never feed somebody 🤦‍♂️ that’s how u get ur teammates killed Nylander got lucky it was a clean hit to the body

[@henryrobbins2005]

maybe if malkin spent less time selling an injury, kreider wouldn’t have scored

[@CoutureCW]

Rangers are warming up for the playoffs. Pittsburgh is getting warmed up to whine in the playoffs.

[@highdesertbiker]

they better start warming up because their team sucks

[@assbutter7627]

Can’t wait till Malkin n Crosby are retired will see how significant Penguins are then

[@jacksonnra1856]

I just see good hockey.

[@user-fo7bk8il4w]
