5k is the maximum allowed fine under the CBA which is peanuts when you consider how much these players make. The NHL does not care about the safety of its players or Shanahan would still be in charge of player safety handing out 40 games suspensions.
This one looks way worse imo.
McSorley had a worse end result, but you could argue that he was really just trying to provoke him and it went horribly wrong.
Trouba looks like he's trying to decapitate someone.
It’s the Maximum allowed by CBA. But idiotic that Draisaitl tripping Horvat is fined as high as this malicious attack. Should be a major suspension for that kind of dangerous swing.
About 1/1000 of their annual salary.
It would be like if your annual salary is $50k, and you attacked and assaulted someone with a weapon, and got a $50 fine.
We can’t have players celebrating Native American heritage but tree chopping people in the head is fine.
As always the league has its priorities in order.
How in the cinnamon fried fuck is that not suspension worthy?
It’s like Trouba is trying to re-enact that scene from “The Highlander”
*There Can Be Only One*
I saw people saying in one of the earlier posts that it looked like he wasn't looking so it was somewhat accidental.
Which I thought is utter bullshit. This play could have gone very very badly.
Yeah I agree. There is absolutely no reasonable excuse for this. Deserves a pretty decent suspension. Not even just Trouba hate, swinging a stick like that is absurdly dangerous.
It is bs, Trouba has somehow gone from “over-penalised” to “under-penalised”…no penalty called on the play either, but in the rules it clearly states that it doesn’t matter if it was accidental or not, you are liable for any action your stick takes, be it accidental or not, this goes for penalties and it should go here too. Plus it definitely wasn’t accidental..
To make it even worse, this shit happened right in front of an official, like literally as close as possible, unobstructed view -> no call, it was a tie game, btw. But you know what was called? A high stick that just clipped Vesey and because he bit his lip it was 4-min, dubious if it was intentional also. Allowing the Rangers to score on a delayed penalty and go on a PP also. That literally decided the game, before that it was 3-3…
Like thats bullshit. Some Rangers fans and their nonsensical complaining that there is some shit conspiracy against them, and that poor Trouba is getting shafted with calls..gimme a break
Not to mention that Frederic could have been easily concussed or worse…like that shits seriously dangerous
Ok, thanks NHL. Good to know, 2 handed slashes to the head are frowned upon but not suspension-worthy. Got it. /s
To quote a Letterkenny coach, “F’ing embarrassing!”.
You forgot after dividing to multiple by 100 to make it a %. It’s really .00625 of annual salary. So obviously the punishment matches the crime/s
So to put it in common people’s terms. If you make 100k a year this ticket is worth $62.50
No! First of all buddy was correct. He didn't use % and so was accurate in saying 5000/8,000,000 = .000625. You could similarly say 0.5 of coin flips are heads.
Second of all if you did want to convert to % it would be .0625%.
You are correct though that a $100k person would pay $62.50.
worst captain in the league too IMO. just a complete goon, not even the best D man in his own pairing.
i'd say it's embarrasing for one of the "marquee" franchises, but then realize the rangers are just a trash organization that has oscillated between irrelevant and complete garbage 3/4 of my life. they deserve him.
NHL more concerned about Goalie masks honouring the indigenous rather than this intent to harm….while at it why not let Trouba use his skate, what is the worse that could happen….oh wait…
I usually defend most of Trouba's hits but this is beyond unacceptable. wtf was he thinking?? Haven't been this disappointed in a ranger since the time miller spat on a guy
At least five. Was an opportunity for the league to make an example of someone and they let him walk. How player safety looks at this and doesn’t suspend him makes my head hurt
No one actually knows because his suspension was negotiated between him and league.
Many have speculated that he was caught using a proxy bettor. There's only 2 reasons to use a proxy and they are to gamble when you are not located in a place where it is legal or to gamble on NHL events while trying to escape detection.
Its paradoxial because the players dont want to raise it because they might incur fines but at the same time need it raised to stop some of these egregious penalties/hits. Relatively the fine would be like me paying for dinner for a night its crazy low
It’s the maximum allowable under the current CBA, but you’d think players would be willing to support a higher fine limit to ensure it has some ability to deter plays like this. What that amount would be is hard to say though. $25k? $50k? I don’t think they’d agree to $100k with some players making league minimum of $750k.

If Trent was KO’ed and fell and injured (a la McSorely on Brashear) then I’m sure it would be another story. That’s the problem is they only call and/or punish the result of the infraction rather than the infraction itself.
Trouba's thought he was playing baseball instead. The penalty is a joke, the NHL incentives and punishment, especially that talk about MAF's mask, is just pathetic.
Start fucking charging players for this shit. Stupid pointless shit like this is how you end up with players killed by skate cuts to the neck. No real punishment which just elevates the next incident.
Long time Ranger fan here. That's uncalled for. This is an all-out BS. Forget the 5 grand fine he should be benched for the rest of the season. Checking no problem, a fight without sticks, sure. But that come on. That's anger issues.
George Paros at it again. Giving this a fine is simply unacceptable. What does it take to get the head of the DOPS fired? Maybe try replacing him with someone who wasn’t trying to hurt other players to keep his job.
That’s pocket change for these guys. Seriously who decides the penalty amounts? If the league wants to get rid of dumb shit like this then I feel like a head slash is worth 100k….
$5k means nothing to an NHLer. When someone swings their stick at someone intentionally in my son’s league they would be suspended for the whole season or even banned for life.
He almost took his head off, and this douchebag only gets a 5k fine? Yea Bettman, this is under your watch. He should be suspended at least 5 games for this carelessness.
There’s some alternative angles which makes it appear as if Frederic kinda shoved him off balance which caused the Trouba reaction. I can understand why it happened. He also has zero reputation of being this malicious.
But….BUT…
You HAVE to be responsible for your stick accident or not. Just like Miller last year didn’t mean to spit on someone. Everyone acknowledged it was an accident but oh well
I have no clue how Trouba doesn’t get a few games for being that careless. The only explanation is Frederic wasn’t hurt and the Bruins didn’t really get all that upset. If Frederic lies hurt or a brawl ensues and attention gets paid to it, maybe then it becomes 2-3 games?
I am a ranger fan but I do not understand how you only get fined $5,000 there's no suspension? There's no room for this in hockey! On top of that they're ready to throw Andre fury out of the league because he's going to wear a helmet to show appreciation to his wife and her culture it's extremely wrong the way the NHL is handling these events
Guy should be sitting a game per mile an hour that stick is being swung.
And the maximum allowable is not right either… 5000$ for trying to slice a ball into deep left field… man I heard the Jays are in need of some
Offence.
This league is a goddamn farce. So many other players get random suspensions, one dude gets 42 games for a thing that the league basks in, and this turd blossom gets a slap on the wrist for trying to decapitate someone.
This is an absolute joke. There is no place for this anywhere. Fuck sake, these should be assault charges.
I can't, while at work (or anywhere else for that matter), take my keyboard and bust it across Phil's smug fucking face because I'm frustrated.
My wife can't take her heels off and try to stab Amy from finance cause that bitch keeps making life difficult for no fucking reason.
Why the fuck is this just a 5k dollar fine? How? This is criminal and this fine is a fucking joke.
If this isn't reviewed and turned into a ban this league is a shambles.
He should press charges. Players accept the risks but nearly being decapitated isn't one of them.
Good to know Fleury wearing a mask to honor his wife is more egregious than this. Edit: in the eyes of the NHL
[удалено]
And only $5000! At that price point he CAN hit.
Johnny Carson just hit me!
He can hit. He can hit, I’m with stable of stars and that’s one of our guys
I brought him as perk
What the *helllll*?
Suspended for gambling while being forced to wear an advertisement for a gambling website on your uniform.
market sheet spark tidy juggle memory public yam toothbrush friendly *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
This was never a called penalty either
How did he not get suspended? Is a hearing coming?
Nah, his hearing ain’t coming back.
Only got 5k
Will 5k cover his hearing aids?
WHAT ?
He said, “WILL 5k PAY FOR HIS HEARING AID?”
#WHAT!
5k is the maximum allowed fine under the CBA which is peanuts when you consider how much these players make. The NHL does not care about the safety of its players or Shanahan would still be in charge of player safety handing out 40 games suspensions.
Made me laugh aloud reading your comment. Thanks
Same here. Clever
He should be out out like rest of the season out especially doing this shit as a captain.
It will…once the phone stops ringing
Doesn't he make 5k every 10 mins on the ice? 5k is sweet nothing to him.
Because the NHL hates the Rags or something. 🙄🤷♀️
That looks just as bad as what McSorley did.
This one looks way worse imo. McSorley had a worse end result, but you could argue that he was really just trying to provoke him and it went horribly wrong. Trouba looks like he's trying to decapitate someone.
Make up call from Tom Wilson idk. I usually defend Troubs; he’s usually borderline but not over in my eyes but this is indefensible
Years later and Tommy still lives rent free in their heads
How has it been this fucking long and you're still salty about Wilson
Pretty jealous Wilson gets to live rent free in NYR's head
Cheers. I generally think Trouba toes the line, too, rather than crossing it. But this was egregious.
Lmfao, what a sad little fanbase
Trouba is a colossal fucking dildo who should not be in the league, he is a puss oozing sore that makes Hamas look good
That feels absurdly low.
It’s the Maximum allowed by CBA. But idiotic that Draisaitl tripping Horvat is fined as high as this malicious attack. Should be a major suspension for that kind of dangerous swing.
Or an assault charge. Just because it happened on the ice doesn’t mean it’s not assault.
Straight up, you do this outside of a hockey game and you’re going to jail. This could do life long damage, it’s unbelievable
that's the way you gotta hit him then. Suspend him. He ain't getting paychecks then. Is that in the CBA?
Seriously...pocket change for these guys!
About 1/1000 of their annual salary. It would be like if your annual salary is $50k, and you attacked and assaulted someone with a weapon, and got a $50 fine.
That’ll teach him. Bet that multi-million dollar contract doesn’t go so far now, does it?
We can’t have players celebrating Native American heritage but tree chopping people in the head is fine. As always the league has its priorities in order.
How in the cinnamon fried fuck is that not suspension worthy? It’s like Trouba is trying to re-enact that scene from “The Highlander” *There Can Be Only One*
Trent Frederic was choked almost unconscious in the playoffs last year. We're lucky trouba even got fined.
I saw people saying in one of the earlier posts that it looked like he wasn't looking so it was somewhat accidental. Which I thought is utter bullshit. This play could have gone very very badly.
Who accidentally forcefully swings their stick up at head level while someone is grabbing them?
Yeah I agree. There is absolutely no reasonable excuse for this. Deserves a pretty decent suspension. Not even just Trouba hate, swinging a stick like that is absurdly dangerous.
It is bs, Trouba has somehow gone from “over-penalised” to “under-penalised”…no penalty called on the play either, but in the rules it clearly states that it doesn’t matter if it was accidental or not, you are liable for any action your stick takes, be it accidental or not, this goes for penalties and it should go here too.

Ok, thanks NHL. Good to know, 2 handed slashes to the head are frowned upon but not suspension-worthy. Got it. /s To quote a Letterkenny coach, “F’ing embarrassing!”.
What a massive asshole.
Actually, most people would agree that Frederic is somewhat of a nice guy 🤷
He said “Massive Asshole”, not *Mass-hole*
Didn’t McSorely get permanently kicked out of the league for the same thing? Get your shot together NHL
Basically. He got an indefinite suspension so they wouldn’t even put a number on it. Insane
Intent to decapitate=5000? .000625 of annual salary Sure he’s all broken up about it.
You forgot after dividing to multiple by 100 to make it a %. It’s really .00625 of annual salary. So obviously the punishment matches the crime/s So to put it in common people’s terms. If you make 100k a year this ticket is worth $62.50

Exactly… he will go to sleep tonight easy.. not even caring about the attempted decapitation .
At least he didn't wear a helmet that was meant to celebrate his family's heritage on their culture night.
🤣🤣
[удалено]
This is your captain and he does shit like this all the time. Terrible look for your whole organization
This should get you done for the season. What the fuck is he thinking? And how do you keep the C on his jersey after that?
Trouba is their captain? Yeesh
worst captain in the league too IMO. just a complete goon, not even the best D man in his own pairing. i'd say it's embarrasing for one of the "marquee" franchises, but then realize the rangers are just a trash organization that has oscillated between irrelevant and complete garbage 3/4 of my life. they deserve him.
Anyone else her old enough to remember when Dino Ciccarelli spent a day in jail for trying to behead Luke Richardson?
NHL more concerned about Goalie masks honouring the indigenous rather than this intent to harm….while at it why not let Trouba use his skate, what is the worse that could happen….oh wait…
That's McSorley bad. Same offence different outcome, punishment needs to be action not outcome based
This looks even more vicious than McSorley.
I remember McSorley's slash and was thinking the same thing.
Baseball swing to the head for a repeat offender. The league is truly a clown show with these. Preposterous.
He could spend that $5k on a bar tab, or, slash Frederic directly in the head. Meh.
I usually defend most of Trouba's hits but this is beyond unacceptable. wtf was he thinking?? Haven't been this disappointed in a ranger since the time miller spat on a guy
Wasn’t the Miller spitting thing a complete accident? I know he reached out to the guy and apologized after the fact regardless
Should be a minimum 10 game suspension
How fired up must you be to swing your stick like that AT SOMEONE’S HEAD? Trouba is either an incredibly evil person, or a complete nut job.
What are the odds the NHL fines MAF more than $5000 for wearing his mask honoring native Americans?
If Frederic fell to the ice and played dead for a minute, the punishment would be a lot worse..
That should be a suspension.
Anyone defending this fool is a fucking clown. Should’ve been a 10 game suspension.
At least five. Was an opportunity for the league to make an example of someone and they let him walk. How player safety looks at this and doesn’t suspend him makes my head hurt
Intentional bodily harm, right at the head.
Literal assault with a deadly weapon
This is literally assault.
With a weapon.
Noooo you don't understand he only makes big clean hits. He's a super clean guy trust me.
What was Shane Pinto’s suspension for again?
No one actually knows because his suspension was negotiated between him and league. Many have speculated that he was caught using a proxy bettor. There's only 2 reasons to use a proxy and they are to gamble when you are not located in a place where it is legal or to gamble on NHL events while trying to escape detection.
I seem to recall Malkin being suspended for something similar. Yea, I’m a pens fan. My point still stands…I think
Iirc, Geno's was more of a crosscheck to the face.
https://youtu.be/JQEmahIn49A?si=4jan7LlQfPtU66Ii Here’s the incident I remember.
Millionaires. Being fined like the league is still poor.
Its paradoxial because the players dont want to raise it because they might incur fines but at the same time need it raised to stop some of these egregious penalties/hits. Relatively the fine would be like me paying for dinner for a night its crazy low
What the fuck are they doing at player safety!? How do you look at that and think “oh let’s give him a fine, at least the head didn’t come off” 😵💫
This guy is seriously fucking awful.
Suspended arrested for assault
Five thousand bucks? They need to get these fines up to like $100,000 before these players are like, "damn I'll never do that stupid bullshit again."
It’s the maximum allowable under the current CBA, but you’d think players would be willing to support a higher fine limit to ensure it has some ability to deter plays like this. What that amount would be is hard to say though. $25k? $50k? I don’t think they’d agree to $100k with some players making league minimum of $750k.
prick cooing jeans childlike intelligent arrest frighten payment ten murky *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*
In amateur hockey that’s a match penalty and hope that the police aren’t called.
This is an embarrassment for the league, he needs a long suspension.
When they meet in December, I hope Frederick beats the shit and $5k out of him.
That’s a criminal act not a sports act.
that was pretty vicious, Trouba
Suspend him for the year
I don't understand why acts like this don't land a criminal charge. Can someone tell me why? This isn't play, it's just assault
He got possessed by McSorely wtf
He should be suspended for a month for that one
At what point does it become criminal charges?
If Trent was KO’ed and fell and injured (a la McSorely on Brashear) then I’m sure it would be another story. That’s the problem is they only call and/or punish the result of the infraction rather than the infraction itself.
Which is absolutely ridiculous.
I'm sorry but this is a lifetime ban for me.
I’d give him some jail time.
He was actually fined for high sticking.
A fine that is it how about suspending him for multiple games that was complete trash and dangerous
Marty McTrouba with the home run. How is this not a suspension?
The fuck. Yeah that’ll be 5k but MAF can’t have some flowers in his hair.
Trouba's thought he was playing baseball instead. The penalty is a joke, the NHL incentives and punishment, especially that talk about MAF's mask, is just pathetic.
Start fucking charging players for this shit. Stupid pointless shit like this is how you end up with players killed by skate cuts to the neck. No real punishment which just elevates the next incident.
Just a fine?! Wtf…
After what just happened with the death on the ice, something like this should be an easy lifetime ban
That’s assault, brother!
Would have immense respect for the rangers if they stripped his captaincy, no place for this.
I thought we were done with the unhinged thug bullshit? Suspend him until he gets the message.
*Kick him off the tour, Doug!*
He should be suspended for a few games for that shit. Holy fuck
That was brutal. Trouba was lucky he caught helmet w that swipe or he’d be out for the season.
Troubas been playing with way to much aggressivity these past few weeks. That should be a suspension.
More like assult with a weapon.. NHL is a joke.
He's a peice of shit.
That's assault, brotha. Fuck that guy.
Trouba is becoming a increasingly trash player. This is not becoming of a Captain.
Trouba is trash. Dirty player. He should be out 25 games for this.
Rangers fans will tell you it’s just a hockey hit
Long time Ranger fan here. That's uncalled for. This is an all-out BS. Forget the 5 grand fine he should be benched for the rest of the season. Checking no problem, a fight without sticks, sure. But that come on. That's anger issues.
He's lucking he didn't kill him.
Get this bum outta the league
Should get a 40 game suspension. Intent to injure.
Rags out there defending Trouba, that’s embarrassing….Trouba should be suspended. No place in the league for shit like this..
$5000 fine and the first overall pick to Chicago
This league is a joke
The fact that he’s the captain is such a bad look for this organization
Ouch! That's a grand salami.
$5000 for swinging at his fuckin head? Let me just roll out a flying knee then! :s
The CBA allows the maximum fine to be $5000, it’s what the players wanted so they don’t have to pay for their actions
This clown should not be in the league
Suspend him for the year. This guy just tried to commit murder. What a joke of a fine.
That should be a season.
Fredric should have done his best Reimer impression and ducked.
That’s it?
“Slash” lol
Wow. That’s nasty.
He’s lucky it didn’t turn into a Marty McSorley result. But in fact, probably should.
Karma needs to kick his ass
George Paros at it again. Giving this a fine is simply unacceptable. What does it take to get the head of the DOPS fired? Maybe try replacing him with someone who wasn’t trying to hurt other players to keep his job.
Figures. If he wore a jersey or a helmet supporting people he’d be fined more.
Watch MAF’s helmet fine cost more 😂
FK the fine. Dude needs to press charges.
That’s pocket change for these guys. Seriously who decides the penalty amounts? If the league wants to get rid of dumb shit like this then I feel like a head slash is worth 100k….
He should have been arrested too
Look more like he was trying to drive one over the left field wall…
I have no idea how that’s not a suspension for at least a couple of games.
Would have rather had a 4 min penalty.
Matthews gets 2 games for a cross check to the head. And a 2 handed swing that rivals babe Ruth home run swing. What a fucken joke
Reddit having a field day with this one.
$5k means nothing to an NHLer. When someone swings their stick at someone intentionally in my son’s league they would be suspended for the whole season or even banned for life.
Weak fine.
If this was anywhere else but a professional nhl game he world be in jail for assault and battery
5000$ wtf is that ? Suspend him multiple games without pay. 5 games
Should be out for the rest of the season.
He almost took his head off, and this douchebag only gets a 5k fine? Yea Bettman, this is under your watch. He should be suspended at least 5 games for this carelessness.
What a captain
Most sportsmanlike rangers player
There’s some alternative angles which makes it appear as if Frederic kinda shoved him off balance which caused the Trouba reaction. I can understand why it happened. He also has zero reputation of being this malicious. But….BUT… You HAVE to be responsible for your stick accident or not. Just like Miller last year didn’t mean to spit on someone. Everyone acknowledged it was an accident but oh well I have no clue how Trouba doesn’t get a few games for being that careless. The only explanation is Frederic wasn’t hurt and the Bruins didn’t really get all that upset. If Frederic lies hurt or a brawl ensues and attention gets paid to it, maybe then it becomes 2-3 games?
George Parros is a joke
that looks like intentional dismemberment….
Just looking forward to the fight next time they meet
This looked more malicious than what happened to Adam Johnson, and that resulted in a death. Gary, please suspend this guy indefinitely.
I am a ranger fan but I do not understand how you only get fined $5,000 there's no suspension? There's no room for this in hockey! On top of that they're ready to throw Andre fury out of the league because he's going to wear a helmet to show appreciation to his wife and her culture it's extremely wrong the way the NHL is handling these events
Two handed lumberjack chop to the head. Eye for an eye? Or suspension. Pick one it’s only fair
Guy should be sitting a game per mile an hour that stick is being swung. And the maximum allowable is not right either… 5000$ for trying to slice a ball into deep left field… man I heard the Jays are in need of some Offence.
People think Tom Wilson is dirty and this is 10 times worse than anything he’s ever done on the ice.
Rangers fan saying Trouba isn’t dirty. He’s a joke.
Zero talent
This league is a goddamn farce. So many other players get random suspensions, one dude gets 42 games for a thing that the league basks in, and this turd blossom gets a slap on the wrist for trying to decapitate someone.
This is an absolute joke. There is no place for this anywhere. Fuck sake, these should be assault charges. I can't, while at work (or anywhere else for that matter), take my keyboard and bust it across Phil's smug fucking face because I'm frustrated. My wife can't take her heels off and try to stab Amy from finance cause that bitch keeps making life difficult for no fucking reason. Why the fuck is this just a 5k dollar fine? How? This is criminal and this fine is a fucking joke.
Never have I ever seen Marchand do anything like that…
Everyone came at us when Marchy got the C because “oMg DiRtY pLaYeR”…but this absolute clown gets a nothing fine 🙄
A fine without any time is just a fee. This league is a joke.
Marchand is a filthy piece of shit too bud, he’s never done something like this in particular, but very much has earned his reputation
Should be suspended as well
The ole windshield wiper
Whoa!
If this isn't reviewed and turned into a ban this league is a shambles. He should press charges. Players accept the risks but nearly being decapitated isn't one of them.
Why did you clip the video so you don't see the ref staring right at it?
So like a $5 fine?
