Is this the craziest act of the NHL season? The captain’s outburst infuriated – and social media was filled with memes | Sport

The New York Rangers defeated the Carolina Hurricanes for the second time in the NHL. After the marathon match, Rangers captain Jacob Trouba’s unsuccessful tackle has caused the most laundry.

The New York Rangers took Finnish time on the night between Tuesday and Wednesday for their second win over the Carolina Hurricanes.

Sebastian Ahon three assist points were not enough as the Rangers won 4–3. Vincent Trocheck scored the winning goal in the second overtime, so the Rangers took a 2–0 lead in the series.

Trocheck, who also represented Carolina earlier in his career, has been hit hard in the playoffs. He has hit in six matches, 5+5=10. Colorado is the number one player in the points market for the playoffs Cale Makar (3+9=12) and Edmonton Connor McDavid (1+11=12). of Colorado Mikko Rantase is a power of 2+9=11.

The heroes of the marathon match that lasted over 87 minutes were, for example, the Rangers keeper who made 54 saves Igor Šestjorkin.

However, the Rangers captain has had the most talk after the match Jacob Trouban trick. The 30-year-old defender tried to pin the Carolina forward right at the beginning of the first overtime by Martin Necas.

While tackling, Trouba raised his elbow rudely towards Necas’s head. Fortunately, the Czech attacker was very alert in the situation and managed to dodge. Necas lost his balance in the situation, so Trouba Taklaus didn’t hit. Trouba, on the other hand, flew towards the Plexiglas with a proper steel man leap.

After that, Trouba’s skate hit Necas, who was still on the ground, on the head, which is why Necas stayed on the ice for a while.

Trouba’s tackle became an instant internet meme, write several North American media. The attempted tackle, which seemed outrageous, naturally also sparked outrage. Especially considering Trouba’s history.

Trouba has earned a dubious reputation in the NHL with his brutal tackles. There have also been game bans. In last year’s playoffs, for example, Trouba’s streak of the New Jersey Devils spoke to Timo Meier.

Trouba, to the astonishment of many NHL followers, survived that tackle without a suspension. NHL disciplinary ruled that Taklaus hit the head because Meier himself put himself in a vulnerable playing position.

– I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a situation where someone almost kills another person twice and themselves once, but I’m not surprised that Trouba was involved, NHL media personality Pete Blackburn wrote from the latest Trouba rapture.

For example, a former NHL defenseman Jordan Schmaltz wrotethat he loves good tackles, but this time Trouba only “jawed his chin” by raising his elbow like a rascal.

Well-known podcaster Ryan Whitney pondered, that Trouba was lucky when Taklaus didn’t hit. Otherwise, he would be suspended for the rest of the Carolina series.

– Everyone was happy that Jacob Trouba missed. It wasn’t a scoring chance, but one of the most brutal tackle attempts we’ve seen in the NHL this season, The Hockey Beast – site wrote.

Many, at least Carolina-minded fans, lamented on social media that the NHL will hardly punish Trouba, even though in this case the attempt alone should be enough for a suspension.

– I’m sorry, but Jacob Trouba deserves a suspension. This is a clear attempt to harm. If the elbow had hit, we would be talking about a suspension of more than five games. Even if it didn’t hit, the intent was clear. The NHL preaches player safety. So let’s see what happens, pondered the LA Kings writer Carson McNitt.

Osa, on the other hand, took the joy out of Trouba’s air flight through various memes.
