Nearly three weeks after becoming a meme for a dangerous missed hit on Carolina Hurricanes forward Marty Necas, the Rangers captain is in trouble once more. During Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Final between the Rangers and Florida Panthers on Sunday, Trouba hit Evan Rodrigues in the face with his elbow late in the second period.
Despite the severity of the hit, Trouba was only given minor penalties for elbowing and slashing. Many fans were outraged that he wasn't ejected or given a more severe penalty, especially considering his history of dirty play.
