Disturbing Scene That Was Missed By The Refs In Yesterday's Game
The recent incident involving Jacob Trouba of the New York Rangers and a brutal stick swing to the head of Boston Bruins' Trent Frederic is raising questions about intent, although the act itself is undeniable and captured on video.
This is likely to draw the attention of the NHL's Department of Player Safety. The forceful impact on Frederic's head during the play is evident, leaving many surprised at Frederic's ability to remain upright.
While some argue online that Trouba was attempting to wrestle his stick away from Frederic, claiming the hit was unintentional, skepticism remains.
Notably, there was no penalty called on the play, even with the referee in close proximity
Whether intentional or not, the absence of a penalty is raising eyebrows, and many believe the severity of the incident warrants, at the very least, a fine especially cause Trouba is a repeat offender.
Some speculate that a hearing may be in order. It's worth noting that the Rangers emerged victorious in this game with a 7-4 scoreline.
Considering the unpredictability of the Department of Player Safety's decisions, there's a level of uncertainty regarding potential consequences for Trouba.
It remains to be seen whether he will face repercussions or emerge unscathed from the incident.
