It's safe to say that Florida Panthers head coach Paul Maurice isn't feeling any sympathy for Jacob Trouba after the New York Rangers defenseman was fined for elbowing Evan Rodrigues.

During a Monday press conference on the off-day of the Eastern Conference Final, Maurice commented on the suspension:
Take the hat, pass it around. Poor lad, poor Jake. He won't be able to eat.

Trouba was fined $5,000, the maximum allowed under the CBA, for the elbow to Rodrigues' head.
Initially, the officials called it a major penalty, but after reviewing the play, they reduced it to a two-minute minor.
Yeah, it all went down pretty quick. You're not exactly running through a thousand scenarios in your head. Stuff just happens in the heat of the moment, you know, hockey being hockey.

"(Rodrigues) looks good," Maurice said of his forward who stayed down on the ice following the hit.

Maurice chose not to comment on the officiating or Trouba's hit after Florida's 5-4 loss in Game 3.
«I think I've got enough on my plate. I'm not going to do any refereeing or player safety tonight.»

Rangers forward Barclay Goodrow played the hero in overtime, helping New York take a 2-1 series lead into Game 4 on Tuesday.
